    I have a Sager NP8235 Laptop
    -Quad Core 2.4 Ghz (i7-4770MQ)
    -Nvidia 770M 3GB (Driver 311.14)
    -8GB RAM
    -Windows 7 - 64 bit
    Starting something like one week ago I noticed if I try to launch a game in any resolution other than 1920x1080 (native) my game would continuously minimize giving me an "Optimal Resolution Notification." The screen goes black and then minimizes every time I try to make the game full-screen again. I was able to play Dark Souls at 1600x900 very recently, and also Mass Effect (though I don't know why I lowered the resolution for that one). Any advice or suggestions would be great! Thanks!
    I have tried turning off the notification, however my games continue to minimize, just without the notification.
