thanks! unfortuatly the limits of the laptop are with the drivers. The only way to add new ones is if samsung releases an update, (not nvidia) i cant backdate the drivers either, as of now the only version available is the one the computer shipped with. first i tested it with stock, and was getting the same result, then i deleted everything, reinstalled the game and tried stock again, it worked, then i installed lsh3 into the directory but didnt enable any mods and the boxes reappeared

EDIT: after messing around with nvidia nhancer for awhile and changing various settings it seems to have went away.
