Totally become a desktop already ....

Maybe got some clash with FIFA 10 with your gamepad ...because like you said, FIFA 09 got no problem with it

Well, first maybe you can try your friends gamepad, see if the problem still there after changing the gamepad or not..if the problem still occur then maybe the problem lies in the game itself, not the gamepad ...no use buying a new one if the problem will still be the same

Update drivers ..

Well, read online that the XBOX360 controller got problem with FIFA10 in PC...dunno if its valid or not

If this is the case then why not...can give it a go ..and show us the result

Well, if you lost the receipt, they will use the date of manufactured which will still be under warranty or they can scan the barcode and check your warranty status

Between Atheros & Intel 5300..which is better than the other?? ...advantage using Atheros would be can install OSX without any problem

b/n only ..meaning cannot use G signal one?? ...well, 5100 is quite good edi ..

Unless S42 owners are thinking switching to something that is much more powerful than S42 with a little price, then maybe there will be a lot that would sell off their laptops ...

But sadly, that's not the case now as S42 are kinda rare and exotic now...a powerful laptop within 2.5k range, where to find ...

-------> 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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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)...

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

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

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

iirc, you just VOIDED the warranty for RAM, others will still be under warranty ...

Well, for a much better way..i would suggest you to mail BenQ SC first before you go there..see if they can help you in any way...
