    For some reason when I try to play some games on my Sony SZ using speed mode (the GeForce 9400 graphics card) there are some extreme graphics issues (trails in the games background, rendering issues) and I am running the updated drivers. When i switch to stamina (the intel card) the games run fine. Any help?

    Does this only happen after you've been playing for a little while? If so, sounds almost as if your artifacting while using the 7400...how long have you had the notebook, have you reformatted, what drivers are you running?

    It might be getting hot, have you ever blown out the vents (see the cooling guide)

    Perhaps using a program like Notebook Hardware Control would help to monitor temps.
