    Hi all,

    I just bought an aloenware m14x r2 last month and every games is playing smooth so far. Yesterday, when i play D3 there were black stripes flickering when playing D3. I did also try to bf3 and also have something flickering during playing it. I tried also reinstalling the drivers (296.10)but it was still the same. Is it the hardware problem?

    Thanks.

    You say it was working fine last month, have you tried a system restore?

    Yes, i did try to restore the laptop to its factory settings with alienrespawn. But it still giving me the problem. It only happens when gaming that i encounter this problem. I also tried reinstalling the driver (296.10) but still the same. Is this graphics card problem?
