^ i mean after change from HDD to SSD, ahahaha.

btw, can somebody here help me diagnose my problem,

tonight i bring out my M15x out from my room and turn on without plugged to charger, it turned on till login screen, but suddenly the screen black out and all LED turned on RED color, and it stucked like that. I can't even turn it off without unplugging the batt.

So i unplug&replug the battery and try to turn it on, but it refused to power up, again only all LED is on & all is red color.

I try to plug to charger, same thing, no luck...

try shuffling RAM memory & Unplug the CMOS batt, same thing happen

Quick Google say it probably loose connection of LCD or my graphic card is died,

so i dissasembly my m15x, checking LCD connection, open graphic card, released & cleaned it and assembly it back,

yet, same thing, can't power up, only all LED turned RED.

when already desperate and plan to order new GPU soon, i try unplug the battery and plug only to charger, and try power it up, and BING, it ON... =.=

so i think it's my battery, but then i try put back the battery, and now it can turn on also...

Now i'm confused what actually the problem is... aarghhh

i always thought "all powerfull" is R2, while M15x Area-51 is R1, so mean i'm wrong, am i?

Lowyat also got few display units i saw last time, it's either 2nd or 3rd floor, i forgot what floor was that.. They got M17x , M14x and 11x all on display, all turned on, can try...

Or else, at the curve also got display unit for M14x and M11x

i7 should be better choice..., and just make sure u take the good GPU if u gaming a lot...

btw, just take picture of my baby tonight :



btw, someone talked about 4s queue up there, actually i can help to get maxis unit without contract, RM2200 for 16GB model..., limited unit can bought, maybe someone interested.. ;p

no no, i mean i can help u get maxis unit without contract, and of course without queue, hahaha

I think SSD upgrade will give more significant perf increase for overall usage.

920XM is indeed give u more power, but if u seldom use app that optimized for multicore i think ssd is better option. It definitely speed up login time and opening app and also speed up game that load a lot of data from disk...

btw for that price u can get 160gb SSD i think. but with SATA II only

Just upgraded my M15x to Gtx460m and 16GB Ram, this lappie is indeed futureproof! =D it still can take 8gb on single bank. Finally no more memory low in photoshop, hahaha

ahahaha, the thing is..., my wallet is not straight enough... xD

and i still need to find the 240W PSU 1st before do any of those heavy GPU upgrade... else, it just gonna useless

Really? even with 920xm ? O.o if so, then i gonna be very happy, hahaha, but the PSU surely will become very hot on full load isn't it?

From what i see the 8gb price have decreased almost by RM100 in this last 2 months...

It won't hurt to wait another month actually, i believe it probably can reach arround RM100-150 /piece

ebay one mostly is OEM, it's quite cheap though, arround US $50, but no warranty..., if one month kaput,

about the new driver, it released to improve the perf on those game indeed isn't it? but could be placebo, ahahah

If SSD, use it already as system disk, combined with momentus XT for data disk, hehehe

Yes true, it can't compete, it only help caching slightly, that's why i set it as data disk..., hehehe, my system running on real ssd though.. hehehe

this card is kinda hard to get arround here, maybe u should try get 6970 instead, hehe

for Processor, 2720 with 2630 performance is not that far...

btw i'm agree that SSD is worth to picked, as GFX, i think 6970 is good enough, hehehe

but those WiFi card on #2 is not that appealing, but, well Killer is only arround RM180-200, can upgrade later

it actually will show something on your screen,

mine will show alienhead in bluecolor which mean Stealth activated, and will show it in red color when it turned off

your one could be different, since mine is custom themed

6990 quite easy to find on ebay, hehehe

yes international ebay... hehe

what temp is it when shutdown? Mine is confirm will shutdown when hit 100 degree, happen several times when do 3D rendering and forget to set throttlestop multiplier to lower one, hahaha
