QUOTE(riku2replica @ Sep 7 2010, 04:28 PM) lol... Not fix partially mate, completely. Also the new clocks now save battery power and you should get above 3 hour minimum on batts now  Seems like the vbios did fix partially. *waiting for g53/73jw benchies* :sob:  If you are one of the lucky few who can underclock to 100/300, there are reports of battery life above 4 hours on the G73JH  QUOTE(Jeffrey1987 @ Sep 7 2010, 04:51 PM) Do you guys want me to make the font bigger? Uhhhm, yup. Can you make the title multi-colored as well to attract attention, J/K This post has been edited by Viperion: Sep 7 2010, 05:53 PM |

QUOTE(voleman @ Sep 7 2010, 08:43 PM) I decided to see what would happen if I updated my drivers to 10.8 without updating stock BIOS and vBIOS, and i promptly got black screen of death on furmark and sc2. Where are you located? If you are in KL and you have the balls to pass your laptop to me, I will do it for a cup of tea  Anyway I chickened out and restored from disk image so things are back to normal now. Haven't worked up the guts to update BIOS and vBIOS yet seeing that everything works OK on my lappy with stock BIOS and drivers.. But keep us updated bro.. p.s. my temps are still OK.. went up to 92.5 max once when playing SC2. Pls let me know what fps you are getting on SC2. Jeffrey, I am afraid I don't know what to suggest for your problem except doing what I did not have the b**s to do (update BIOS, vBIOS and drivers). Maybe you could ask the notebookreview people. EDIT: What browser crashes? Tried with FF, IE and Chrome? Could be a Flash issue or sound drivers.  QUOTE(Zapads @ Sep 7 2010, 11:00 PM) Does this version cause the laggy? Hmm, your vBios looks like the stock version. Try this, download AMD GPU Clock Tool and set you clocks to 705/1100. Does the lag happen the entire session or the first few minutes after you start the game? If it lags the entire gaming session on stock clocks (700/1000) set to the clocks above and tell me how it went. The lag s due to your GPU almost GSODing but somehow it manage to recover itself. With the new vBios, it happens on the first 5~15 minutes of running Furmark,SC 2, etc. but after the GPU warms up it doesn't happen that often. The moment your GPU chokes and is unable to recover you will get a GSOD/black screen, etc. |

QUOTE(lunatiq @ Sep 8 2010, 12:18 PM) 10.8 really fixed the performance hit on AA, previously benchmarking SFIV my framerate will drop by 10-20fps if 4x AA, now my woes are history. but somehow the AA doesn't work on SC2 using catalyst settings. Hmmm, that's weird. ATI released 10.7a just to enable AA in SC2 and the code should be carried forward into 10.8, I don't use AA so I'm not sure. I will check later and report back. |

QUOTE(voleman @ Sep 8 2010, 01:08 PM) ehehe thanks for the offer Actually it's not about breaking it or not. Seriously the stock vBios code is atrocious. The measly 2hours battery life is caused by the high clocks. With the new vBIos this issue is resolved. Running on stock Catalyst is never an option because newer games will never be able to run on it  I am sure i can do it myself though.. just not sure if I want to since I am not sure if it will really make a difference to my lappy If it ain't broke.... |

QUOTE(lunatiq @ Sep 8 2010, 01:46 PM) I think newer games shud be able to run on it but taking a big performance beating, i notice this big time on SC2, before the GSOD fix, i was taking my chances against GSOD rather than going back to using Catalyst 10.1 If I'm not mistake the new Final Fantasy MMORPG doesn't run on the stock drivers and you need the newer catalyst drivers. If you cannot use the newer drivers due to GSOD it's not an option especially for such a high end gaming notebook |

QUOTE(Jeffrey1987 @ Sep 8 2010, 06:51 PM) I had my 1st BSOD today while I was watching my PPS.  Is it time for BIOS 211 upgrade? Need you guys' opinions about this as I'm quite noob in this.  QUOTE(Jeffrey1987 @ Sep 8 2010, 10:44 PM) I encountered 3 BSOD todays which force me to uninstall all the recent softwares in case of incompatibility issue. Upgrading the BIOS will not solve the GSOD. You need to upgrade to 211 BIOS and then flash your vBios to the latest beta in the link I posted to solved the GSOD issue. Did you change anything recently? I've never heard your unit GSOD until now. Stock drivers or latest catalyst? |

QUOTE(Jeffrey1987 @ Sep 9 2010, 02:12 AM) Yea, it happened on me for this past 2 days. Since my Logitech G700? No idea. Which drivers are you running? Stock or the latest catalyst?However, one of the prob. is the shockwave problem in my Google Chrome browser. It did cause me to BSOD. Currently, I switch to Mozilla Firefox.  I will monitor it first before the flashing of BIOS. |

QUOTE(Jeffrey1987 @ Sep 9 2010, 02:49 AM) Is it BSOD = GSOD? BSOD = Blue Screen Of Death (Windows Error)GSOD = Gray Screen Of Death (ATI 5870 Error) For the GSOD your screen will become Gray in color with very thin black stripes visible in the background. Hard to describe, do a search in youtube and you can see for yourself |

QUOTE(Jeffrey1987 @ Sep 9 2010, 03:07 AM) Mine is BSOD then. Blue screen appeared. Hmmm, then it seems like an OS problem. It could be the new Logitech drivers. Try a system restore and do a virus scan. Something changed and has caused your OS to be unstable. A system restore is the easiest and quickest way to resolve the issue compared to a re-format/recovery  |

My friend and me just completed a re-paste job for Zapads in the wee hours of the morning. Everything went fine (I hope
) and his temperatures were phenomenal, even better than mine I'm bugging my friend now to open my unit again and to redo my GPU Final call for my last tube of IC Diamond 7 reserved for owners. I'm free now for Raya and will create the thread in garage sales along with some other items I want to sell. My friend is now offering the re-paste service on a limited basis only. We are doing this at a very low cost, for fun and making new friends. Those who are interested can contact me and I will arrange it. Re-paste jobs closed until after 19th September as my friend is going for an overseas trip and will not be around. First come first serve basis only & for a limited few |

QUOTE(Zapads @ Sep 10 2010, 02:00 PM) Viperion!.. thanks for the great job.! Is really a intensive work and you/your friend is really "PRO" in doing it. I am really happy of the work!.. thanks for doing us a favor!.. is really worth it. ALTHOUGHT THIS HAS TO BE DONE IN 4AM!! HAHA Sorry for the timing bro, next time you are back down here I will belanja you makan & teh tarik I'm fortunate to have my friend as I would never have opened my own unit in a million years I saw your max temp at 91.5c, is that what it's showing in Furmark? it seems like my re-paste was okay after all if you are peaking at 91.5c, mine peaks at 92c so you beat me by 0.5c QUOTE(coolman91 @ Sep 10 2010, 02:02 PM) sure XD Looking at the changes you made and what you reported it is rather expensive. Could you post the full specs as the only changes I can see compared to the A1 is the CPU & Wifi card. If these are the only two differences then you were robbed blind  Added on September 10, 2010, 2:04 pm i pay for 2155USD is it ok with the price with the spec ?? |

QUOTE(coolman91 @ Sep 10 2010, 11:56 PM) Erm ya........ but 2155usd include 820QM and wifi card 6300 and ultimate X64 i think the price is cheaper comepre with gentech and bto and so on right ?? Yup, hence I asked for the full specifications to check the differences If you go for the GentechPC & Comegateway option you should only pay around USD 1700~1750 including shipping with DHL for the A1. That's around USD 400~455 difference for what you paid. Also you shipped within US right? Our units was delivered from USA to Malaysia right to our door step |

QUOTE(coolman91 @ Sep 11 2010, 01:17 AM) but with 400-500 different can have ultimate x64 + 6300wifi card and 820 QM processor not worth ?? Gentech PC:Windows 7 Ultimate x64 - USD $185 Intel 6300 Wifi - USD 35 Intel Core i7-840QM - USD 575 Yup, it's slightly cheaper than GentechPC. I did a calculation for the A2 with the options above and the total came up to: USD 2297.53 However it's based on the i7-840QM, they don't have the option for the i7-820QM |
