    I have the m11x R1 and I'm having an issue where between every 2 or 3 restarts, the graphics driver disappears, thus not allowing me to switch between graphics modes. I have to manually reinstall the graphics driver and click restart later in order to play with increased performance.

    Anybody know why this is happening?

    Install the old drivers, the new ones are a little buggy.

    I too cant run them as it wont detect my card. Even with a fresh install of windows it wont detect the card, I can install them on my original hdd (never actually used, removed it first thing when I got the computer) but they dont work on any of my other drives.
