Hey, guys. I'm mainly using my laptop for gaming. The detail spec can find in my sign.

However, I got a problem. Whenever I gaming for a certain period, the game will hang for a short period. After that it can continue to play, but sometimes the game will just crash or some of the graphic just run off. In the desktop there will be message at the notification area stated "VPU is not responding and successfully recovered"

How can I solve this problem? I'd downloaded the latest driver from Dell but it seems make it worst, so I reverted it to previous driver.

I think your graphic card is overheating. Geforce 8M series is known for it's overheating problems. Are you using laptop cooler to cool it? If it still persists then it's better to send it back to dell for warranty.

What game is that? If Crysis then normally will crash lah
8600M GT cant play latest games at highest settings lor. Try medium or low settings.
I cant play GRID at all... Using lappy to gaming is not really a wise idea anyway...

Actually alot of games have the same problem. Some game with less graphic demand may run smoothly. I yet to have money to purchase a new desktop, so that's all I got now, still student.

haha.
currently i use the ancient Palit Geforce 7600GT.
still good enough to play Left 4 Dead at medium settings.
and Company Of Heroes too (my favorite game).
no money to buy since i am a student.
i just bought new LCD monitor replacing the ancient CRT monitor.
maybe will save money to buy GC.

graphic card: colorful 9800gtx+ sli mode

problem: flickering happen if i use sli mode.

situation: last friday i format pc. before that, i got no issue play dow2 in sli mode. but alot crash in the game. after format, i got flickering issue in sli mode. only single card allowed me to play in smooth and steady mode.

plz help me.

Did you connect your SLI bridge correct? try adjust the SLI bridge. I sa you just change the VGA cooler....maybe you do something wrong to the GC already

i scared ... before this no issue ... maybe i will try older drive ... will try adjust the sli bridge

i guess just stick with 9600gt then the only single slot card remained higher than that the card is 2 daddy 2 fit in the baby casing

Hi, guys. The driver from this website

http://laptopvideo2go.com/drivers

Can it work on laptop graphic card? If I go over to Nvidia website, it would suggest me to download the driver from the laptop's brand website.

9800gt and hd4770 which is longer. I'm afraid it wont fit into my casing. I can fit 9800GT just nice

Anyone try the new Nvidia beta driver already ? (Nvidia GeForce 186.08)

hey guys. sorry asking noob question. is gtx260 oc and gtx260+ same?

Is PALIT GeForce™ GTX 260 SONIC (OC | 216 SP | 55NM CORE) = gtx260+?

i gt problem here~ why i bought Palit 8400Gs...when i open my computer gt..white colour things on my screen....==

yup bro...
192SP = gtx260(old)
216SP = gtx260+

correct me if im wrong guys.....

gtx260+ is used to refer the new 55nm gtx260

before u change to tht gc dunhav the problem?might be dead pixel of ur lcd or the gc have problem itself

Anyone still using the 7900GTO to game? Feeling nostalgic..maybe I should dig it out and use it again.

Yeah the driver works. Just download the exe + INF enhancer.
Extract the exe into a folder and put the INF inside the said folder, install by double clicking setup.exe.
It's done on my Inspiron 1520 powered by 8600M GT and it works great.

I'm quite new 'bout all this GPU stuff and to this site..
which one is better?..9800 GX2 or GTX 285?
and how 'bout the prices?..
'cause I'm planning to buy...

i prefer single card solution rather than dual in this case.the 9800GX2 might win the GTX285 in benchmarks.but if the game doesn't support SLI,the 9800GX2 is jz as good as 1 8800GTS (or GT?).and the heat is of coz higher with 9800GX2
