    I did and uppgrade for the graphics driver, i was first using the ones from the Samsung homepage, this however caused a missing hardware saying SM bussdrive was not installed. Dont know if this ever made a difference since the computer worked fine.
    Now i have done a update and change the graphics drive to the original drive from Nvidia homepage, this made the SM bussdrive go away so that all harware looks as if it is installed. However now the scren flickers and turn on a off with a few limes a day. Mostly after waking upp from sleep mode. Anyone know about this problem?

    I had a similar problem a while back and using the Intel® Driver Update Utility found a chipset driver that needed installing before the problem was resolved.

    Sounds like you are missing a driver, you haven't installed beta drivers?

    Try rightclick on my computer -> manage -> device manager

    Are there any Yellow ! there ?

    No doubt you know what's on your PC, but I would still run that Intel® Driver Update Utility.
