ya laaa... we all busy with responsibilities already... how to handle threads... see, i didn't come in that often anymore...

mess up the BIOS, your laptop will not boot anymore... backing up BIOS is useful if you somehow don't like the new BIOS but it's useless if you somehow messed up the flashing procedure and your laptop becomes a super-duper-expensive-paper-weight, thus the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

but nowadays, the only way I can think of to get the flashing procedure wrong is by having the power supply interrupted while flashing, so as long as you good battery running in your laptop no need to worry much... Other than that, maybe if you're using removable drive to store the flashing utilities, make sure it won't get removed accidentally... got this covered, usually not much can mess you up....

the power supply interruption always haunts me when I'm flashing new BIOS on desktops since I dont have UPS and there's no guarantee the power in my house going to be ok...

Just to make things interesting around here... what games u guys are playing currently on your Levs? I'm currently on:

1. Assasins Creed 3
2. Spiderman
3. Battlefield 3
4. Dues Ex: Human Revolution
5. x3: Albion Prelude.

was thinking to buy Bioshock: Infinite. How does it run on Y400? has anybody tried it yet?

Haha. Yeah. I'm using LAN through the wifi extender.

Here's mine. Don't judge. Ehem2 version only except Crysis and NFS HP.

Quite a collection there bro. How's frame rates for GTA 4?

Now my laptop left these few games...
Getting less and less play games jor...
1) COD: MW3
2) DmC: Devil May Cry (aka DMC 5)
3) NFS: HP 2012
4) Elsword (Taiwan Server)

And some emulators....

Manageable... Though it does have the occassional issue with Win8... Sometime refuse to start up.

hi guys... add me to the list... Lenovo Y400 just got it today
btw, do you guys backup the OS into DVDs? how many do we need?

BANYAKNYE!!!!
mine only have GR : Advance Warfighter 2, COD Black Ops, Left 4 Dead 2 & Blur

iirc 4-5 discs.

Entah bila 1TB tue boleh habiskan.

Not bad.

Looking to try GTA 4 then.

Come play online against me...
Add me up in Autolog @ Lil_Kiasu

I suggest getting GTA EFLB. Certain forums outside report it runs better than 4... I'm still scratching my head on making a workaround for it to start like how it did back when I was using Win7.

What do I have in my Lenovo?

Simcity (2013)
Guild Wars 2
Just Cause 2
Assassin's Creed 3
Battlefield 3
Elder's Scrolls V: Skyrim
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Hitman: Absolution
Sniper Elite V2
Simcity 4 Deluxe
Sleeping Dogs
The Sims 3
Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic
Torchlight II
Tropico 4
ArmAII
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
Borderlands 2
Dead Island
Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition
L.A Noire
Portal 2
Plants vs Zombies GOTY
Unstoppable Grog
World of Goo

and I still complain I dont have games to play

p to the s: all legit copies...

mine only 500GB + 80GB mSata (for OS only)

Guess mine's grey import then~?

No mSATA inside though, thinking of getting one soon.

I envy you.

Anyways, this happened in the afternoon today.

U mean the start button & start to desktop?

No, I mean the game...

Try Googling for GTA 4 issues on Win8...

The solution offered worked for me periodically... Basically you're required to update GFWL and RSGC but some hiccups may still occur.

hmmm.... windows 8 can only backup into hdd... IMG file.. 18GB...
maybe will copy out somewhere just in case laptop HDD crash

Hi Guys, my laptop is DOS Y400, and waiting for my msata drive(128GB).

Currently windows n software occupied 80GB of my 500gb hdd.

Is it possible to move windows and all of it content to msata after i installed it?

If possible, what are the step needed?

Hope that sifu here can help.

Thank you.

Hm, anyone here tried this combo: mSata SSD + Sata3 SSD and Sata2 HDD with caddy on Y580?
