^ Yeah, need to update it with that.

Sorry, i'm not good with photochop.
Can't help you man

Anyway u can try the fixes on these 2 links.
1. Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed Fix and Fixes to Crashes
2. Shift 2 - Black screen on startup
Same here but i don't really care.
Not sure, but there is no sticker inside there. Some guys in notebook review told it won't void the warranty because changing drive is common nowadays since not all model come with SSD option.

4GB vs 8GB memory...can you guys see the difference when running highly-intensive games like Crysis 2? Faster loading time?

Yes, u can update it using the latest driver from AMD website. I'm using Catalyst 11.5 atm.

I simply download the Catalyst Control Center [79.7 MB] from Amd website and update/install the driver. 

Did you switched to the Radeon card before updating it?

Link : Catalyst Control Center 11.5

Yes. I have that windows update installed. What does that signify?

Anyway there is a hotfix for Catalyst 11.5 and i just installed it. It bring improved performance for Brinks and Dirt 3.
I think it also installed the latest graphic driver instead of using the old 1 from HP.

Install it if you feel adventurous or wait for HP to officially release it. =x

I haven't test it tho... and i still have switchable graphic option.
Oh.. i get that prompt few times also when i'm playing Shift 2 and benchmarking with 3DMarkVantage while overclocking. But i didn't get any BSOD yet. What is the temperatures at that time?
Aiks?

by the way.. did you manage to install the driver?
oh.. hopefully a driver update will fix that up.

Added on May 28, 2011, 4:37 pmdayyumn.. i can't do battery life test. I ended up falling asleep or plug in the cable and start gaming after just 2-3 hours.

this is my 4th try. 

Yesh.. u can call that free. 
Lol. Congratz.. hope u don't have problem controlling the cars. 
How is it? Gameplay, graphic, sense of immersion. Review review.   

playing with keyboard ?

As for Dirt 3,

All settings on medium, 2xMSAA, min 58 FPS

Gameplay is very realistic and smooth, plus, there is even autobraking as you enter corners, so you never slide off the road.

Another good game is Race Driver GRID, infact, it is one of the best racing games EVER. I love playing it. Both games are developed by codemasters.

True, but is shift, press brake and then accel, and the car will pull a perfect powerslide.....

GRID and DIrt 3 are way more realistic, and the graphics are definitely better....you can even see the disc brakes glow as you brake

Why i can't play Dirt 3 on fullscreen mode? It always hang.. i can only hear the sound. No problem when i use HD3000.
why would playing an audio file will make the graphic not responding? 
Lol.. congratz. Press "Change Car" before u start a race and check the event requirement.

Added on June 1, 2011, 7:55 pmA Crysis 2 video that i found on youtube. Obviously its not Malaysian model but its the same spec with 6001TX.

If you're planning to get the FHD XPS 15z to play game@FHD resolution  better forget it. 


In the end, its about practice practice and practice.
