I'm using one too, only way to keep it chilled!
But what about when you travel?
I can't watch a movie without it warming my lap nowadays (well, maybe it's not that big a deal!)
Every laptop? Some of the old ones (with lower CPU/GPU) didn't have that much of a heat problem (Inspiron 6400...
New to this part of the forum, so...... are these questions already asked?
First of, this is based on 3 laptops I saw/used and one I heard about.
I have a Dell Studio 1458 with a Core i5-430M,4GB DDR3 RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD5450. Even after they fixed it once, the laptop heats up when...
Oddly enough!
Sometimes my Windows 7 crashes and displays pixels/grains like in an old nes video game.
When I restart Win7 displays an error log stating a BSOD occurred!
Why the heck the call it bluescreen error when the screen is not blue, is beyond me!
Mmmmm.
If I remember right, that laptop had all drivers installed correctly!
Anyway, as a wierd sidenote, why doesn't Win7 BSODs appear as a Bluescreen ? :D
I might have a picture somewhere....
Gimme a minute![COLOR="Silver"]
Edit: Found one.
But this is not GTA related. This is from elsewhere.
Can anyone tell me what caused this?
Well, it occurred in an old Acer PC of mine and that had a fully updated nVidia driver.
As for ATI, I try to update mine a lot (I think it's updated now, not sure).
The laptop does have BSOD but not very often. I only played GTA SA for less than a day in this!!!
I see, so there ARE people with no problems after running GTA games.
As a side note: most BSODs were noticed (after you play the game a few times) while not playing the game.
The game itself caused/BSOD occured while playing only around 2/10 times.
Anyway moving on, some questions:
I have a...
For starters, the BSODs I noticed were mainly for SA (MAINLY, also noticed in gta3 and vice city) and question 3 was because I'm considering if I should buy it!
And all the SAs (around 7 different copies me and my friends had) were all copies and cracked!
I never saw an original GTA till this...
Don't blame me if it's a stupid question, but is there any relation between GTA games and BSODs? All of my computers and my friend's computers which ran GTA suffered BSOD errors (a lot of BSOD for some)! So the questions are:
1) Are they related?
2) Anyone who played GTA and suffered NO BSODs...
Okay, I'm gonna update asap.
Now I'm running a permanent patched 6.20 pro-b4.
Can I directly update to 6.20 pro-b5 or do I need to (somehow) un-patch it first?
Well I noticed one thing odd in PRO-B3 cfw and for that reason I switched back to TN Hen.
Thing is, some 'Pause Game' data does not get erased. These appear as nameless dateless files that can (sometimes improperly) resume a certain point in a game over and over again! (This applies only to...
