^ Yup.. discharged rate will go back to 9w-11w.

When I changed HDD to SSD, I see drop 1W..

how to turn off the 2nd hdd when idle?

via Advanced Settings on Power Plan, I guess (Turn off HDD after..)

On my Dell, I have utility to turn off ODD when on battery, while on Sony, got one apps from Sony, just right click and select Turn off ODD, should be usable for 2nd HDD..

LOL.

im using a Asus A53SV

i have facing a few problem, the problem is
the default graphic is intel even i already change to the nVidia in nVidia setting.
second is window explorer always error and restart, asus webstorage already uninstall,
third is window very slow and 92 process on my task manager

Try setting the applications/games to be run by Nvidia graphic card on default as shown in the first page.Or try updating the Nvidia graphic card driver as i heard Optimus not working properly for the old driver.

Next,if possible,format and install Windows back.This will clean everything that u dont need or stuff that lurks in ur pc without u knowing.

go clean ur registry....
use CCleaner

already done it as default, try download later..

i dont want to format again.. this is ori window, rugi la bro..

already done..

still got problem???

i dont know what running rm2.2gb ram, minus mozilla 300mb, means 1.9gb
