I'm wondering if there is anyone letting go of their laptop accessories. just wanted to ask price for a used GTX560 or GTX580M for 8150/9150 . it is already end of year, and I'm thinking of upgrading my 8130 GC. hehe

I know for sure that to upgrade my card, I'll need a 180W charger as well.

Do you have a list of all NP8130 compliant card ?

Oh. it is due to the fan size limitation? What is the price for 180W power supply and 580M GPU then? Also, if I change to AMD, do you know what version is supported for NP8130 ? 6990 M? I want to do a data comparison between the GPUs first hehe.

wow v4, and i haven't been on this topic for quite a while.

ts, can change the illegear site? it returns 404 already, probably better just redirect to illegear main page instead.

anyway, i wonder if I should buy this and upgrade for my np8130, or wait another year and get a new laptop haha : http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLEVO-P150HM-P170H...=item19dabdda10

I thought of that as well, but I'll wait for next year in order to tolak a bit from tax. Anyway I just got a new wifi card, Intel 6235. I wonder if I can just change the wifi card just like that, or does the BIOS has wifi whitelist that it needs to adhere to.

Can you try booting on other RAM slots? Anyway I had my own issues with Win8, it keeps on saying there is error and need to restart after boot. And so happens that my vpn software went wrong, had to uninstall in safe mode. Probably you could try this, but would be a pain in the butt since to enter safe mode, you actually need to login Win8 first, then quickly go to settings to enable safe mode.

For my old Sager NP8130, I only do annual dust cleaning (trapped dust on the heatsink and the fans). Also, whenever the power adapter is connected, I always let the fan to run full speed (Fn+1 for my model. not sure if they changed the shortcut key already) just to let the laptop cool down even when I'm not on game mode.
