no off topic bro.. we discuss ati driver! acer laptop r using it got any problem?

if you haven't try playing Portal, try it out. try the first one. i definitely recommend it. a very clever game. it's like solving some action puzzle, but with a lot of humors. each level is short and sweet. can play and stop any time. the ending is very surprising and sweet. i also like the voice of GLaDOS and her ending song.

the lyric make sense if you complete the game:

i 'borrow' it from friend that downloaded it when it was free.

No, it doesn't reduce hardware life span. Even after overclock, the CPU or/and GPU still operate in their capability. Unless the BIOS is poorly written & the cooling system doesn't do it's job properly, there is no risk in damaging the hardware. There are protection mechanism built in BIOS & hardware that can prevent the damage from happening. Again, overclock only for advanced user.

I always keep close watch on the temperature whenever I OC. If your temperature is controllable, there is nothing to worry about.

In my understanding, when manufacturer make a GPU / CPU of the same class (for example 5650, 5730, 6550, etc all with same SP), they are all made alike. They do internal benchmarking, those good quality chip will end up having higher default frequency. Make sense to reduce cost as well.

However, over the time of making the same chip, the process improved. Each chip can therefore run at even higher clock speed. But because there are still demand for low-end chip, they cant stop producing it. So, some 5650 are actually very high quality chip that can OC a lot.

Any fact about this? I dont know! Those are just what my understanding after reading from here and there...

mine oso happening d same thing but only once..
r u on batt or direct power?

Try find something Intel Display Power Saving Technology (DPST) and disable it?

Inside Intel HD Control Panel, go to the power, click the battery.

Problem still occur?

dn want automatic, my settings was gone since the last driver i updated from acer, and now still the same , and yea, i can switch, just the settings option gonee
