No. AS5 is widely used on both laptops and desktops. Once AS5 sets in a day or two, it becomes more like a solid and will not ooze. As evidence, desktop motherboards are mounted vertically and never had a problem.

Yes, that cable will work. I used to connect my 7700 to the 42" before moving it to the living room. There are better deals available on the internet (~$15 w/ shipping). I saw some available on monoprice.com. Obviously, audio...

Ok, thanks. Your results are right in line with that HDD model. The HDD rotates at 4,200rpm and transfers at an average of 19 MB/s with ~20ms access delay. This drive appears to handle a bust up to 57 MB/s, but your results report max...

Yea, I'm not sure when they started flagging their drivers by compatible device ids, but it definitely condenses the number of drivers. Its a newer feature, but I have found it to be very helpful.

They all should have the same contents, but the length of content is different. As in mine, read after DEV_ "0299", and after SUBSYS_ "09001558". PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0299&SUBSYS_09001558&REV_A1

Not sure, I don't remember it lagging that much (especially the long pauses). Possibly need an older driver that was more optimized for the hl2 engine. I would try the Driver search tool on laptopvideo2go.com -> Drivers. Then enter...

I don't have those games installed, but when I played portal, I remember that I couldn't play those games on full settings. I think I turned down water settings and possibly shadows / shading. Reduce your settings and see if the...

I notice games run a little smoother than before. The best way to measure the improvement is to adjust your game settings until they are slightly above what is currently smooth. Then, apply your best stable overclock to see if there is...

Nice find! This should help many people get their 7700 back on its feet. This is a much better alternative than a $400 motherboard replacement. Just out of curiosity, can you run a hdtune benchmark to get an idea of the performance...

Taking a screen capture (Prt Sc) will not show monitor hardware problems. Since the white spots do not show up on your screen shot, your monitor is at fault. Take a picture with a high quality camera and post.
