yeah i always do a clean install of driver..

just reverted back to 9.12, same problem.. fed up already maybe i'm destined to have a gaming rig that can't actually play games stably..

Well, maybe you can try do some clean up with your system ...if the driver installation are ok, maybe got some clash with the system (like some of the files corrupted maybe - just guessing though)...

shhsh... i got poisoned again...

Is it part of sales/discount or it is its regular price?
Acer still the king of cheap

that's the price after AU$39 cash rebate by Acer themselves...

as much as i want EEEPC (Asus to match my laptop... ) they dun come cheap... >AU$450...

if the Aspire One comes with 6-cell battery i may really hoot it...

Seems like no brown netbook to match with your Asus....

colour is not really matter... i just want to match the brand...

Closest is Asus EEEPC 1001P@RM1099, here...

ah well I think it's overheating issue.. just played some games for 1 hour and GPU-z reports a whooping max temp of 98.5C @@ and that's when I play in air-cond room. oh well..

hmm... now that's interesting... perhaps it's better to send it to service center...

chan

Seems like got something wrong with your GPU ...usually yours wouldn't hit that kind of temp (what game you play??)...that is quite high ..even my 9600M GT in a air-con room didn't reach that kind of temp even when playing GRID at mid setting ...

Maybe you should send it over to the Service Center to check

i can only get such temp on my HD4650 when folding... and i am using a 14"...

it seems that it got hotter and hotter since the first day i bought it without me realising. I used to play cod4 without problems but it's starting to fail me now, not to mention those games like GRiD that are even more graphics intensive..

is their service centre at Jaya One or Tropicana? either way it' impossible for me to go there during weekdays given that how a road fool i am.. this sucks ><

have u tried cleaning it???

Tropicana is better i guess..need to ask BBXiong for more info though...well, astria suggestion might as well be good for a short-term solution as cleaning it might as well reduce the temp slightly lower than before

yesterday i tried opening the plate where the heatsink is sided, but no luck as it seems like it won't be removed without excessive force so i can't check on it, but the other side where the RAM (and the air vents) resides can be removed easily, and is very clean..

well maybe i should just vacuum the hell out of the exhaust first and see if anything improves..

Well, should be the first step to do ...don't open recklessly the heatsink unless you really know what you are doing ..

yeah I wouldn't dare to do that not stupid enough to void my warranty

btw, is there any statings that anything non-factory added to the lappy will void the warranty? I meant adding another 2GB RAM, 'cause I heard from my friend that adding RAM voided his Toshiba warranty. I don't want it to happen when I bring mine to the SC..
