I have had my XPS for about 5 months and I have had some problems with it when trying to play games on it.
On many game such as Dead Island, Crysis, Command and Conquer Zero Hour, Killing Floor, Garrys Mod, Homeword 2 and maybe some others. My system will usually play them without any problems for a while, and then, seemingly at random, the screen will freeze(not go black, just freezes), and the audio will stutter on what sounds like a 0.1 second loop. This sometimes continues uninterrupted and also sometimes the screen will resume moving for about a half of a second, but then freeze again and the audio will start playing the game music as if nothing happened.
It never recovers however. If I try to go to task manager and end the process, then my computer will lock up and require a hard restart.
Sometimes it happens right when I start playing the games and sometimes I can play for an hour or two.
One interesting thing though. My laptop never freezes on Runescape, IL Sturmovic 1946, and Dead Rising 2(DR2 is very graphically intensive).
This has been happening for about 3 months. This did not happen when I first got my computer.
My specs:
Dell XPS L502X
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 2gb.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz(with turbo up to 2.90).
RAM, 8gb.
If you need anymore info then tell me.
