everything is up to date, there is no overclock at all, everything is at stock/auto. The only options right now seem to be windows 8 compatibility for the drivers or a faulty mobo, but since it works fine is crysis and hot pursuit, i'm thinking it's just something with the os, and crysis and hot pursuit might be programmed in a way that works correctly.
And my NB is still very hot, yesterday after running crysis for a while (flawlessly at 30+ fps i might add (except 2 parts with a ton of particle effects)) it had hit 58C
And going by cpu-z, my bus speed is really weird, keeps dropping/shifting ever sec or 2, normally stays around 2.8-3ghz, but showed really low like 1.7/1.8ghz once or twice, guess i'll see if i can lock it next time i boot, take it off auto if it's on it, but i don't think it is on auto.
