Nvidia Drivers
I have seen several posts regarding problems with Nvidia cards with recommendations to roll back the driver. This would be a little difficult when a new laptop is taken out of the box.
I have found a link to assist with finding an older Nvidia driver, it will take you to their Archived and Beta Drivers search screen.

Before downloading and installing any driver I recommend that a restore point be created in the event the downloaded driver does not work as hoped you can do a system restore and try another driver.
Something I have noticed with Nvidia is that it appears they are publishing one driver file that supports a multitude of their video cards. I am wondering if they are moving to a one driver fits all?
Hope this helps!
