    Just received my NP9390-S 8970M x2. Everything was fine during initial setup, however, when I started up my first game (TW: Rome II) I noticed severely reduced frame rates and some screen tearing and flickering. After closing the game the issues became worse and are now visible on the desktop. There are green squares all over and whenever I move the mouse the screen flickers and sometimes ends up with a blank green or white screen. The laptop is basically unusable now. My first thought was drivers, but I have installed new drivers, re-installed the base drivers, and even deleted all drivers and the issue remains. It is clearly a hardware issue. Anyone experienced this before? Is it RMA time? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Unlikely to cause those sorts of issues but you can check.
