I also recommend Furmark (FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, Burn-in Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net) as I've found this very useful for stress testing and locating faults with graphics. Well worth running if your having graphics related problems and/or a few hours of this with no problems means your graphics should be solid

Lenovo Y510p or somthing else ?
binghar replied to tifozif1's question in What Notebook Best Fits My Needs?
What were the details of your blue screen issue? How did you fix it.? -
I've got laptops with SSDs in raid 0 and stand alone and love both but I honestly don't see much difference between the two in daily use. One thing I'd check is if your motherboard supports trim etc Mine doesn't so periodically I have to turn off raid optimise the drivers and then enable raid again which is a pain, but worth it in the long run. If I was setting up my raid machine again I'd still go for two SSDs but run them both individually. Have the OS , temp files etc on one drive and install games/apps in the other which should still give a slight performance increase over a single SSD.

With Acer there may also be the option of a crisis bios. This flashes outside of the OS using a USB pen drive and Fn and Esc and will go back to the version on the pen drive. I had a quick model look but didn't see one at first glance. If you post the first 10 digits of the serial number (which identifies the model; it will be something like NX.RYFAA.006) I don't mind having another look and may have more success...
