I tried installing the latest Nvidia driver the moment i finished formatting and installed Windows.Got back the same error.Under no solutions,i used back the driver from the driver dvd 

so if a game is quad core optimised then we use dual core to play will have some problem? How do we know whether the game is quad core optimised?

Clean format right????or format to factory default
If u format to factory default, Nvidia driver is still there....the DVD version

Oh yea, make sure ur installing the driver for the NOTEBOOK VERSION and not DESKTOP VERSION........like what Ivan did    he was scratching his head to find a simple solution

Take this as a verbal warning.
I seldom post at this section but I do monitor from time to time.
We don't need these kinds of congratulations post and etc. This is not Kopitiam.
Take note and real warning will be added for ignorant guys.

lol, sooner or later i will open it up la lol. Coz changing caddy ssd and all that sure open up one xD. Thermal paste i also not sure which one good, but my fren suggest tuniq x4 or something like that

Added on August 21, 2011, 8:30 pmI tried assassin's creed brotherhood again. I dunno why but the thing just won't go smooth on default setting(around medium-high). Its like 2 seconds smooth, then 2 seconds like slight lag, then 2 seconds smooth again, then 2 seconds slight lag again. Can anyone help on this?

hmm, danm i deleted my crysis2, i think maybe i will try it with mass effect 2? Really pissed why acb got this problem

.... some people are ungrateful..... even  after all the people here that has helped.... alas the world is a better place WITHOUT THEM!!! .. then no one will come and help those that are needed...
bro kev...

i tink i knw the prob... but u hav to have a gpu monitoring program.... i duno wat program......

gpu throttling....

gpu throttling eh@@. I think i'll get gpuz see can monitor or not

btw now i'm installing mass effect 2. Wanna try and see got problem or not

i need to try it out first. Any good way to determine whether it throttles or not? i mean except gaming.

i temperature haven't gone beyond 74 degree. But when i played portal 2 everything max, also no problem

possible software prob...@@

I still couldnt install 275.33 or 280.26 Nvidia driver no matter how i try 

try do a clean uninstall using Driver Sweeper by Guru3D then install it again

Install MSI Afterburner to monitor your GPU.
