    Hey guys,
    I have a y510p with dual 750s. I got the machine right when it came out, and for the most part, it's great. Since I got it, I've had some weird issues with graphics. Some games will have flashing white backgrounds, weird textures, and a variety of other strange issues. I've noticed that it mainly happens with SLI on, although I haven't done much troubleshooting. I called lenovo recently (my warranty expires on the 22nd of June), and they want me to send it in to look at the cooling system, which I don't want to do, given that I feel like the issues lie in software. I always run the latest graphics drivers, although there always seems to be some weird issues. Does anyone have problems like this? I assume it could also have to do with overheating. Has anyone sent in their machine for warranty repairs? If so, did Lenovo do a good job as well as fix it properly?
