    Hello,

    I'm currently facing 2 problems with my Y510p.

    1. The laptop restarts when I start games, given that I had the laptop for 6 months+ and the first time I faced this problem was yesterday. I do not get any error message or the BSoD either. The problem is not from heating since the CPU's temp doesn't go above 75C and the GPUs above 65C( I use a cooling pad).

    2. The wifi connection keeps dying for no reason, my wireless card is Intel N2330. I was reading online sometime ago and I found that I'm not the only one having a problem with this card...

    PS. All drivers are up-to-date and I'm running Windows 8.1.


    Thanks,
    Hush

    The restarting problem is fixed, I took the whole laptop apart and assembled it again, and its working perfectly :D

    Btw I see that the GPU has the arrow on its corner, like it can be removed, is that true?
