    Hi!

    I've received last week my new X7200. That's a test notebook from Sager.

    But since the beginning I've encountered problems

    - SLI not working correctly. With original drivers 257.30, game (Just Cause 2) unplayable !! 10-15 FPS whereas with only one GPU 60-70 FPS (480m GTX)

    with last driver from Clevo/Sager (259.51), SLI not available in Nvidia control panel...

    Newer drivers (26x.xxx) don't install (error message after configuration checking)

    Windows experience index (gaming performance) is 7.3 with 1 GPU and the same with SLI...

    I have many messagse appearing such as "inactive display detected","SLI connector missing" or "main display is not SLI accelerated"

    - When on battery, laptop shut down after 10 seconds (even with battery fully charged at 100% !!)

    - Laptop freeze after a few minutes when restart after a sleep period...

    - Bios from test notebooks seems to be not upgradable (according to Clevo germany service center)

    So I'm gonna send it back to Clevo Germany...

    The fact that laptop dies in 10 seconds on battery and the sleep recovery problem sounds like the motherboard is partially dead, or is going to die soon.

    Send it back ASAP, clearly this laptop isnt working at all.
