This happens to me sometimes when I'm just doing things in windows. It is most certainly heat related. I've taken up the habbit of propping up the back of the laptop and using a fan to blow cool air under it from the left side. It...

The card is from gigiabyte. Check the sager site for the hardware info. I believe it uses the Atheros chipset, but not sure.

I was thumbing through the manual looking for anything cool I might have missed about the 4750 when I saw a part about hitting Fn+F11 to toggle between bluetooth , wireless LAN, and off. I didn't get the bluetooth option but I'm...

mayaman2, don't remove the keyboard. The wireless card is directly underneath the hard drive and easily accessed from the bottom. Just remove the 4 screws for the center removable cover on the bottom, front of the 4750. The screws also...

Something to consider: The Athlon64 has the memory controller integrated into the CPU and runs at the CPU clock which gives it a huge advantage over any off-CPU memory controller. So, given the same amount of the same kind of ram (lets...

I'm personally staying away from the TV tuner and bluetooth options since you can get a much better external USB tv tuner/capture (aka WinTv PVR USB2) and a USB bluetooth adapter is cheaper than upgrading to the built in one. Unless you...
