Hey guys, my name is Ramy and I'm experiencing some issues lately when playing games on my laptop.
I've tried searching on this forum but all the topics I found involved desktop or tower computers and no laptops.

This is the problem. As soon as i start up a game, (Arma 2, World of Tanks, DayZ SA etc.) my screen starts flickering. It first happened when I changed some of the video settings on Arma 2 but it continued to happen even when I restored the settings back to when it was still working.

Here are the specs of my laptop:

Intel Core i-7 4700MQ
16GB RAM (no idea which brand or further specs)
nVIDIA GeForce GT755M (2 cards in SLI)

If you guys need any more info pls let me know!


SOLVED!!!!
Updated the drivers ...

It seems like there's something wrong with either the motherboard or the GPUs. Would you be open to uninstalling all the games and reinstalling them? That might fix the problem.

I tried turning them off, one at a time but then it looks like the other one is stopped as well.

Connected my laptop via a HDMI cable to an external screen, same thing happens. Also tried to remove my 'ultrabay' gpu and placing it back in properly but that didn't make a difference either.

I'm not sure about that, I need to look up the invoice.
Is it really that bad? :( I wanna try everything I can before sending it back to Lenovo :(

I will give that a try! If I don't finish it tonight (gotta work tomorrow) I'm going to do it after work, that will be at 9pm gmt!

I will report back to you when it's done! Thanks for helping me out so far!

Thanks to my ISP I already finished installing lol, gotta love that quick downloading speed!

OT: So I've downloaded and installed Arma 2 incl. all expansions. Tried to run the game, problem not solved... I tried some other games like Payday 2 and that didn't give me a problem at all! DayZ SA works fine now, didn't change anything to that. It's just WoT and Arma 2 + add ons.

I'll try to update my drivers... If it's that, I'll jump off a bridge lol
