    Hi,

    I have a M11X R1 and it usually runs very smoothly (on low specs but I really don't mind that). That being said, when I restart my computer, the game is unrunnable... I can't play/do anything.. why?

    It only happens when I restart or turn off my computer!

    What do I do? I usually run D3 with Gamebooster and throttlestop!

    /E I noticed my PING goes red sometimes! For no apparent reasons, its not like im download anything...

    It feel like it needs to be warmed up... When I ran ThrottleStop it showed at temd of 41C and then after trying to play the game, the temp went up to 57 and only then did the lag stop..

    Did you try reinstalling D3? Try updating your drivers.

    I actually had the same issues for the most part, I was running wirelessly then changed to a direct Ethernet to my router. Also I noticed that my R1 was running hot so I invested in the Zalman NC-2000, I instantly noticed a change and I havent had an issues since. Definitely worth the investment IMO.
