you have put on the num lock i think. see if the numlock button light is on. if it is on, press the fn key and press the numlk button so the light goes off. if it goes off, then it will be fine. and about the graphic issue, download the chipset and graphic driver via the ati website.. http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html update it..

hi guys, u all were rite abt the temperature, my temperature were once shot up to 79c during heavy loads, maybe higher i din know cus the temperature monitor i use doesnt givs any warning, its the cpuid.

i tried speedfan but it cant detect any supported chip, im clueless abt this... i hav everest home edition n i cant seem to find any function dat monitor the temperature, im guessing it wont happen in the free version??

any other similar software recommended?
