uninstalled it... and then re-installed Windows 7, lol. Didn't feel like messing with a few error messages. Advice to anyone, don't install the nVidia tools on your laptop.

It's kind of a slow card, I can already see that from using it already. I'm open to any help overclocking it though... I don't really like the nvidia tools download though and specifically the GT 240M isn't listed for it which kind of...

Just got my m15x, i7, GT 240m... well I probably shouldn't have gotten the 240M I'm sort of regretting it. Anyways, I see you can install some nVidia thing and get a performance tab on the driver that lets you overclock. Anyone know...

Older laptop so I guess that makes sense not many others have had the problem. If you go to the Dell Community site though there are a couple of posts where people experienced the same thing. What tipped me off was a post on an IBM...

I've ordered an earlier revision of this CPU so I'll see if that works instead. Tried to re-flash with the original CPU in, I'm not sure if it made a difference but I doubt it.

I'm not sure you can turn off stepping... I've never heard of that. This is after POST so the OS doesn't have much to do with it in this situation. I've said before, Windows doesn't have a problem here running at all and runs quite a...
