^ thanks. smile.gif

@joonwei23
there is also Samsung 830.. its not as cheap as the M4/330 but the price is attractive also the performance and reliability is pretty good.

Problem is I'm not sure where I placed my disc that I back up my OS into laugh.gif
So if I were to swap into a SSD, need to get another OS. sweat.gif
Sure, I'll scout around first.
Btw, is the installation hard ? sweat.gif

You can download Win7HP-64 SP1 ISO and make it USB bootable.
Backup your window license with Activation Backup and Restore or just reactivate using the key under your DV6. hmm.gif

Installation is a no brainer. tongue.gif

you did that when you swap to the ssd as well ? smile.gif
omo, I think I left my partition disc in Malaysia. sweat.gif

Acid, any latest amd driver ?
I'm currently on 12.9 Sep4 UnifL
and I'm lagging when I'm playing dota 2.
I'm pretty sure it's not my internet connection.
Any help ?
Thanks

Latest driver would be 12.11 Official Beta but it's not problem free.
At what setting and resolution u playing Dota2? hmm.gif
*
Aspect ratio : 16:9
Reso : 1366x768 (Full Screen)
Vsync Off
Others all are either ON or on HIGH settings.
It's just been like this for a few months.
Previously it wasn't laggy at all sad.gif

Check the processes, sort by CPU, see take the most except 'System'

Try run antivirus scan also..

That 80C is CPU?
What about GPU ?

Do you hear the fan running?
Any air coming out from the vent ?
*
GPU about 76
Yeah, I can hear it coming out.
Sometimes it's very hot.
But not until it overheats and force shut down.

If you close them all, will the CPU usage drop <5%? What is the temp?
I guess your CPU got throttled, that's why gaming performance dropped and no force shutdown.

cpu about 79-80
gpu about 77-78

I can't send to service center as I'm overseas currently.
Sigh, sad.gif
Nothing else I can do ?


Added on November 3, 2012, 6:35 pmI'm planning to buy an air duster. Gonna open up the back panel and try spraying it from there. Apparently my friend told me there's probably too much dust in the vents area.
I will see if it works. smile.gif

I just checked. I'm getting only 10-20 fps in Dota 2. Sometimes even 8. sleep.gif what the heck. I think I might need to reapply the thermal paste myself. Any brand recommended ? And guide if there's one. Would be great biggrin.gif
Thanks

I've just updated mine to the one I got from the HP website.
Doesn't seem stable at all sad.gif

Think I found the fix for that problem. From the leshcat setup, run the issue resolver. Reboot and walla
