    Hey all , Been enjoying my M14x since November except for an issue i've just had recently out of the blue. When i start my laptop and i get into any program the "Display driver stopped responding but has recovered" message pops up in my notifications and while it doesn't affect much ( I think) I tried playing World of warcraft and up until in-game there is screen flickering and objects all over the place, The game is unplayable , screen goes black and there is weird colors.

    Up until now i tried checking other games and they work ok , But that driver stopped responding notification is annoying. I tried reinstalling the driver and no cigar..

    Any help?

    I would call dell and ask for a motherboard replacement.

    I had the "no nvidia CPU detected" message after formating when i reveiced my m14x so after tests, they changed my motherboard. I guess you will have to, so call them and don't try to fix it by yourself because Dell will do all those tests once again...
