I played COD4 on my 7800gtx. Went well enough, mid settings at a lower resolution. Wouldn't take mid settings at 1920*1200 I still need to get Ep1 & 2, but HL2 runs very well. Will try hellgate london some time too. Heat? Well I...

Its not worth upgrading your mobo just for internal sata support (although I can see the point). Current IDE/ATA-6 laptop drives are still comparable to sata. For extra storage, I just use the USB and Firewire ports with 3.5"...

As far as I remember, you have to remove (unsolder) a motherboard mount (for the keyboard or palmrest), and then the 7800gtx works more or less fine. As far as I remember, the 7800gtx is faster than the stock 7900gs, but the 7900gs has...

Rofl vanilla just means plain or 'by itself'. That isn't a problem for you because you have the full 7800 go GTX. The 7800 go (NOT GTX) isn't compatible with the 9300, and unfortunately thats final... And yeah the Dell genuine 130w...

Yeah it seems to happen towards the end of a dell gpu's life. Lots of 7800 gtx's have been dieing for the same reason.

It sounds like your AC adapters aren't compatible. What normally happens with a 90w or incompatible AC adapter is that it will refuse to boot off it. It will however boot off the battery, and charge using the AC. But it operates at...

Sometimes the bios does a fast boot and doesn't scan it properly (to save time). As JonSolo said, got into bios and exit. It should pick it up. Other than that, it might not be in properly. Try putting it in again. If none of that...
