    Hi there,

    I'm having video lagging issues with all games and also when I switch to full screen with flash player, minimized it is fine. But after I do the power drain trick it all goes back to normal, I am happy there is a quick fix for it but I'm wondering if anyone else is having these problems and if there is something I can do to stop this from happening.

    m15x, i7-740QM, 8GB RAM, GTX 460M, Windows Home Premium 64 bit

    I only bought this a bit over a week ago, video drivers are all up-to-date. Any help would be great, Cheers.

    how long before this issue arises?

    if you can could you post a gpu-z and throttlestop log.
    be sure to enable logging in background for gpu-z and try to get it to lag while logging.
