Hi all, about a 2 weeks I have a new laptop Lenovo y500 with GeForce GT 650 SLI.
I am pleased with the performance of the laptop, and I think that is the best possible choice in this price range.
Battlefield3 works perfectly in FULL HD resolution and settings HIGH.
However, I have a little problem, wekk actualy it become BIG problem, I do not know if there is something wrong with the drivers or the hardware.
From time to time, for example, playing League of Legends, browsing websites or switching view from Battlefield3 to windows pops up an error that the graphics driver has stopped working but has regained its proper operation.
For a moment, the screen goes black and returns to normal. i installed the various drivers from geforce site such as 310.90 WHQL, 313.96 Beta or from the manufacturer Lenovo dedicated Nvidia Video Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit) - IdeaPad Y400, Y500 dated 04 Nov 2012, none of them help and the problem still occurs.
What do you think ? problem is bcs of the driver or bcs of hardware? maybe something wrong with the motherboard or other component drivers? or maybe just some settings have to be set ?? I will be very grateful for your help, what you sugest to do ??
i bought new Y500 without any windows or drivers included, installed Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and all drivers from lenovo driver site.
it gets more and more annoying the longer I use the laptop
After connact with lenovo poland support they rocommend me to instal win8, they told its gonna help but didnt, now im on win8 64bit and still SLI problems performance are rly ok for me but its fine only when SLI is of .... when i turn it on to use both gt650 i have driver crashes during games
