Lots of problems with G750JS - Forgets it has nVidia chipset, fan runs constantly...

I just unboxed a G750JS yesterday, and I've had lots of issues. First of all, it came on with the fans running full speed, and that maintained for hours. Eventually, after reinstalling "GPUTweak" and setting the "Power4Gear Hybrid" to "Power Saving Mode" and rebooting, the fans finally quieted down and the machine was operating at a tolerable level -- However, often times once the fans kick in again, they stay running full speed. Even just sitting at the Windows desktop with no applications running.
I've had a few "blue screens of death."

I am beginning to think I have a defective unit, because 'forgetting' it has an NVidia video chipset seems pretty serious.
Right now, the NVidia utilities tell me I need an NVidia chipset to use them. Maybe if I reboot, it will appear again, but I can't keep rebooting my machine every time I boot up and discover it, "oops, forgot" that it has an 870m in it somewhere and it just lost track this time.

Very angry, very unimpressed with what I thought was going to be a great machine.
Any ideas?

I sent the unit back, and ordered the exact same one again. The 2nd one is working great, no issues at all so far. Very happy with it. If only the first one had worked this well!

good job man. i too had a hard time sending mine back. it costs so much. then you finally get it and it does not work properly, it sucks. my second one is solid.

i will add though, i still wont use nvidia drivers. i wait for asus.
