guys, is transporting wifi cards not in antistatic bags a significant problem?

Just for precaution, better in antistatic bag..

-------> your answer double_u

Well, not that significant problem but most probably your WiFi card can get static-shock which will burnt it and you will ...well, just take proper steps to prevent anything from happening would be nice, i always carry a processor around wrapped in newspaper ..

S57 HD4650 temp at 95C is ...i think maybe chanswan you better check your exhaust vent first, see if there is any dust there...try clean up your laptop a bit, use vacuum to suck the dust from every hole that you can find ..Seems like your problem is related to drivers, maybe you can try installing the latest one, see how it goes from there

@leewhat, i thought S57 temp levels were quite okay....

Added on March 10, 2010, 8:22 amhm, cause there's this guy selling a 5300 on the ebay, 5 pounds so far... and retail is 30 pounds, the thing is he's one apparently is new, but he got in bulk, so he sending over in just normal wrapping, no anti-static bag.

So wondering if i should get it...

DoubleU, S42 not using 5300? Why get another 5300?

I tot double mentioned about his 5300 malfunction edi so gonna get a new one to replace it ...

@double
I think it should be ok, but kinda scared of the item being bricked by those courier ...well, i once sent over a processor to my friend wrapped in normal paper ...

seems like centrino 6200/6300 still more than 5 pounds

the new driver didn't help as well.. my S57 is quite new and I see that my vents aren't blocked or dusted or anything.. maybe i must play games in air-conditioned environment?

ve u used GPU-Z to monitor the temp???

game crashes sounds more like a problem with the game itself to me...

if overheat the laptop should shut down instead...

At last, the expert said something that is TRUE ...well, true though that seems that the game got problem because if its overheat, the laptop will shutdown for sure ...

well, i ve been getting pretty frequent crashes with Alien vs Predator 3... googled and found that many ppl got the same problem, especially when running at DX11 mode...

This one i tot common problem ..my friend also got crashes while playing ..

yes i use gpu-z. but if it's the game, then almost all my games installed got this problem?

anyway i did see somewhere in the logs stating that ATI graphics hardware has stopped working or something like that.. just can't recall where i saw them! argh

hmm... in that case, that means the driver has got some problems...

which driver are u using now??? i am using 9.12 modded and has no problem playing games (less AVP)...

just installed 10.3 beta from lee's suggestion.. I used to use modded 9.12 before changing to 10.2 and now 10.3 too, but then i mentioned that the problem apparently started since this driver version..

hmm... tried a clean install of driver???

i suggest u revert back to 9.12 modded... since we can't really get 10.1 and 10.2 to be modded...
