    If it has only just started happening, use System Restore to roll it back to before the problem started.

    Since it's fairly new,
    I vote to take it back to the vendor for exchange.
    Cheers.

    I agree. If it's new and not working right, it's defective. Make them fix, or replace it.

    Tried that. The answer is it is a user created problem, you will have to pay.

    What vendor? I assume you tried their support as well as MSI support?

    If it exhibits the same problem immediately after doing a Factory Restore, it is defective.
