Hi, I bought my laptop almost 5 years to the day! Its an Optimus IV. It's currently running Windows 10 Pro. I started playing StarCraft 2 this week. I can launch the game, but when it starts loading the first level, the laptop will either blue screen or hang completely, forcing me to hold the...

Hi, My 15.6 Optimus IV (Clevo W350ET) is sick. I've upgraded to windows 10 and noticed a few ailments. Actually they seem more like hardware problems but I thought I'd mention the OS first. Recently I heard crackling from the speakers. It's not common and only happened a few times. But that's...
