    ive just had my M14x barely a day and i've noticed that some websites, like FB does not fully load. id have to do a refresh to fully load everything.

    im using CHROME.

    strange is that i do not have this problem on my DESKTOP and id like to refuse to acknowledge that its my laptop... but if its CHROME why am i not having problems on my DESKTOP or my other laptop then?

    hopefully its not my GPU?

    anybody else having this weird issue?

    I dont think it is the GPU, because GPU handle the rendering of the physical display, I think it is chrome, because if it is the GPU problem then all of other software will having problem displaying the content as well. Try reinstall Chrome or move back to the stable version if you using the BETA version. However I also a Chrome user - Beta user to be specific, and I dont seem to have that problem you got there though.

    For the driver, I personally dont recommend using any driver that NVIDIA hasnt been officially release on their website, the 295.18 version might be an unofficial version which I dont think NVIDIA would fully support it, the current latest beta is the 290.53 BETA, and the current latest WHQL is Verde 285.62
