    My father's Alienware 17 R2 is experiencing periodic graphics corruption after waking from sleep or waking the LCD from turning off. Latest Intel and nVidia drivers, Dell already replaced the motherboard once. 4980HQ and GTX 980M running on Win 7 Ultimate. Anybody else have similar issues?

    Could you take a picture of the problem? Did they replace the LCD?
    Also some of the newer nvidia drivers have had issues with some people.
