For sure it happens with the SC17 Gsync version. Other versions, I don't know. Out of the box, the laptop works great. But, as soon as you connect to wifi for a while and Windows starts automatically downloading and installing updates, after rebooting the laptop, you are surprised by it no longer appearing to function normally. The version 1.04 spectre/meltdown laptop BIOS update seems to have resolved the issue allowing newer NVIDIA drivers to function properly, but that BIOS version was pulled for some reason and now we are waiting for BIOS version 1.05. So, in the meantime, make sure the laptop uses the old NVIDIA driver which the laptop shipped with and make sure the NVIDIA driver doesn't get updated.
