I received my m14x a few days ago and have been messing with it, and in about a week when I get my momentus hybrid plan to swap that in here and do a fresh install of windows which hopefully will fix this. Until then I have a little issue...whenever I play a game whcih is on full screen every like 10 minutes or so something will popup infront on the fullscreen and then minimize/disappear after a split second and it has become quite irritating over the hours. The only thing I can think of is some process that is trying to run in the background, and the only change I have made from factory default is follow a small guide which prevents toaster.exe or whatever it is from starting(that dumb program that creates the unnessesary black bar at the top of the screen). Could this be the problem? Has anyone else had a similar problem or has any suggested fix?
