I just got the Predator for a week. It's preinstalled with Windows 10. I have been experiencing mini freezes during Fallout 4 and League of Legends ever since. Sometimes the freezes happened at the lobby for LoL (before the game starts). It's not that often but then once it happens the screen freezes for 1 or 2 seconds while the sounds are still continue normally. Please help me with this, I can upload files upon request. Thanks guys.

FAQ & Answers
Any hints in the windows>system events? Current driver? Did you perhabs install the faulty driver last days?
Maybe if you uninstall the driver in save mode with DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and you reinstall it, it works properly again?
if you have any third party antivirus, please uninstall and use only windows defender.
I got the GeForce 970M and the GeForce Game Ready Driver should be fine? And I don't think I have any antivirus program installed
Hy,
I have the same problem of freezing. Playing any online game it does a freeze. I think that the problem is becouse of Killer Network that we have. You have a new driver on their page so you can download it. It solved my problem and I think it was the main fix.
Sorry,
Still have the same problem but have fixed issue with wireless disconnecting.
As you may use the current drivers from Nvidia, you might haven't seen. internet is crowded with threads with problems with the last 2 released drivers. I use 3.62 without problems.
Thank you,
I will try that drivers and see how it goes
I installed 3.62 and still having the same problem.dont really know what is happening. It is so anoying
Please try the following:
- after start you come to the login screen
- you press and hold shift
- you klick restart
- you choose the troubleshooting option
- then start options
- restart
- choose 4
- under save mode you uninstall the driver with DDU (just type it in a search engine and choose display driver uninstaller)
- then you install 3.62 again
This was the only way for me to get it working again without any more driver resets.

I think it has delay now for just 1 sec but still it freezes. So problem is not fixed
have you tried to set Maximum performance on nVidia panel?
launch nVidia control panel, then click on Manage 3D settings, scroll down in the menu and look about Power management mode.
by the way, freezes or mini lags, can happen if HDD/SSD goes to 100%.
which antivirus is installed?
i got windows defender. My OS is Windows 10 64-bit Pro. 128GB SSD and 1TB other. They have space. graphic is GTX 970m.
still the same...
are you able to take a short video and upload to YT or something similar?

ok, try to update BIOS (just to start narrow things):

then update Intel chipset (normally they just put the correct label on hardware, but worth a try)
