    Hello,

    I literally got my new m14x yesterday, its the dual core i5 version, 8 gigs ram, 750g hard drive and a GT555m.

    Well taking it out I immediately went to battle.net and started to download the client. While that was going on I decided to run to the dell support website and start downloading all the drivers specific to my laptop.

    The only drivers I take direct from manufacturers websites are the Nvidia drivers.

    In any case, I tried to run World of Warcraft and It did run fine in my laptops "balanced" mode. Once I turned it onto "performance" and ever since then WoW launches once, gives me the error message then refuses to even load up again until I give the laptop a soft reset.

    I was all smiles at the pretty lights and the ability to customize everything, until I hit this road block. World of Warcraft is supposed to be able to run on this laptop maxed all the way out no problem.

    Any ideas? Also, after updating the graphics driver to the most recent beta version, I can no longer let my laptop go to sleep without waking it up to a BSOD.

    Oh, I have thus far tried putting the laptop back on balanced, tried restoring to an earlier date, and am in the process of re-installing Windows 7 from scratch for the third time.
