After I used it for few minutes (3-4 minutes) the system froze. Only the mouse was working. After about 1 minute the mouse cursor stopped responding as well, leaving me with a 100% frozen laptop. I couldn't even switch to a console (Alt + F1) and reboot gracefully. I had to do an hard reboot. The problem arises every time I start my pc, I can only use it for few minutes. The mouse cursor is always the last to freeze. The only way to use my laptop is to enable the Nvidia proprietary drivers.
