    Hey guys i'm having an issue with my m14x every time i plug the charger or take it out. Basically it switch's off screen for 2 or 3 seconds and turns it back on. Only change i did was turn off turbo boost. Any idea whats causing this problem?

    go to the intel website and download the latest driver for the integrated graphics. then set the default to 60hz and it should stick.
