    I got the m14x a few weeks ago and it ran great. However, recently I got a BSOD (related to an nvidia driver) and after that it failed to detect my nvidia card. So then I removed the gpu drivers, flashed to a08 bios and then installed the 290.53 drivers and it ran fine for a few days. But today again I got a BSOD (related to dxgmms1.sys and igdkmd64.sys) and now again the system is not detecting my gt 555m. I ran Dell Diagnostics and I got error code 2000:0221 (System board - interval timer not functional).
    (PS-its not an overheating problem since my system doesn't go above 70 while gaming)

    Any ideas about what's the problem and what I should do? Thanks.
