I encounter several problems while formatting the beast
[1] blank screen + restart after installing ATI new driver the 10.7. Sticking to the driver supplied from dells website clears the problem

[2]Turbo Boost Technology cannot be installed, after hours finding a solution, one person quote that its not a progra, its already embedded inside the BIOS.

[3]HDD failure, due to different configuration in the BIOS, i accidently used "load best setting", which made the HDD non SATA 0 capable. Switching the SATA 0 to enable actually finished the job

[4] Login wallpaper, After googling for ages, finally came across to a simple solution, but the solution was resolved several restarts later, which made me in the middle, searching for other solutions

[5] Starcraft 2 no unit problem, after installing all other software and finally patched sc2, i cannot see any one, after googling for some time, solutions was found by disabling crossfire, seems that SC2 got problems with the current 5870 Driver
I now know whats the culprit, its the sequence of installing softwares.
also, i dislike not knowing the problem, so i try to tackle it myself tongue.gif

wow...loads of trouble for a very expensive machine. even my m11x didn't go through much problems.

i'm getting a "Battery not recognized" error during startup (during loading of BIOS). it also says that becoz of that, i can't charge my battery. however, windows reports no such error and says my battery is fully charged when i plug in, but only reports 95% when i unplug it.

do i need to power cycle my batter or something?

I am running on GT335m on Warcraft 3 as shown by the Nvidia at the taskbar. Is there a way to totally disable Intel Integrated GPU?

looks like there's no way, not even on BIOS (by looking at online screenshots). i may be wrong though as i own the R1 version and not the R2.

maybe u can remove the optimus drivers and install Nvidia's official drivers for the GT335m instead.
