Laptop suddenly not playing games it could before?

I have a Lenovo laptop that I got last year and it has worked very well. I've been playing dragon age inquisition and guild wars 2 on it since I got it but now they aren t working. When I try they both say things about drivers not working or directx not being right but I could play them both like last week and they were fine. I have nividia GeForce game ready drivers installed and updated and I just reset my laptop to try to fix the problem but they still aren t working. What could this be and how can I fix it?

Which laptop I should buy?

I bought Lenovo 4 times and every time, its having some issue and I had to return it. So not going to oder it again. (Ordered Flex 2, Flex 3 and ThinkPad E550 - 2 times)

Will be using for home computing (email and MS Office, Skype - NO games), looking for stylish laptop.

This is for my father, he need to travel to small villages in remote country, so looking to buy which should work with least issues, as I don't have option for repair or even return.

My budget is limited $600.
Dell or Toshiba or Asus ok with any brand except Lenovo

And movies etc? I'm upgrading from Windows 7 - which is perfectly fine and I've only had my Lenovo Thinkpad about 5 months!

Added (1). Sorry I meant "games". I only have a Lenovo Thinkpad so the games I own are old, like HL2, Doom3, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, F.E.A.R, Dune 2000 and No One Lives Forever.

Can I swap a hard drive from one laptop to another [Read Details]?

Can I swap a hard drive from a dell laptop to a Lenovo laptop when the hard drives are exactly the same. I have a dell laptop with a 350 gb blue western digital hard drive and a Lenovo laptop with the same exact hard drive just broken. So could I clear the hard drive & move it to the Lenovo & have everything work fine?

Added (1). If the dell laptop that has the hard drive I want to switch to the Lenovo is already reset & just needs set up do I have to do anything? Could I just take it out the dell & put it in the Lenovo with out any problems?

My external disc drive isn't working?

My external disc drive isn't working? - 1

Added (1). I have a Lenovo laptop that doesn't have a disc drive within the laptop itself. However, it came with an external disc drive you plug into a USB port. Lately, I've been using it to input CDs into iTunes for my new iPod. However, all of the sudden, it stopped working. I've tried multiple CDs and none of them work. Every time, the disc drive makes a sort of sound like the disc is hitting the walls of the drive, but there doesn't appear to be anything that can obstruct the disc spinning.

I screwed up during a reinstallation of Windows 10. Halps? D

Well, I formatted my entire Windows partition like the Windows website told me to. Then I tried to install to it, but it said "Windows can't be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks."
So I looked up a solution, found one. Delete All partitions, then make a new one. POW! I could install. But, I'm worried. Right now I'm going through the normal installation… BUT… I'm scared that I deleted the stuff that my Lenovo laptop needs to work properly, like the BIOS setup utility, the Lenovo hardware drivers and all that shiet. Please give me reassurance. I don't want a screwed up laptop! D:

Added (1). Well, I installed Windows 10. Everything seems fine.

Looking for a new gaming laptop. Upgrading from an older Lenovo?

I've done some research and have an idea of what I want, but nonetheless I don't know much about computers compared to most gamers. I've come down to this

ASUS ROG GL552VW-DH71 15-Inch Gaming Laptop, Discrete GPU GeForce GTX 960M 2GB VRAM, 16GB DDR4, 1TB (ROG Metallic.

Processors: core i7 2.6 GHz
OS: Windows 10
Memory: 16GB DDR4-SDRAM
Storage: 1024GB 7200RPM
Graphics: NVIDIA GTX960M 2GB GDDR5

I mainly play WoW and Skyrim, but i'm hoping to get graphics monsters like Battlefield running. Also hope to do a bit of video editing

Added (1). Aside from a couple wonky critical reviews, this thing for the most part has 5 stars on Amazon. Priced a little under $1000, seems like the best bang for my buck.

Added (2). I don't know if it could be an issue, but would uninstalling Windows 10 screw with it to much? Most of the problems seem to come from that OS. So I would likely look to put windows 8.1 or something in
