I haven't tried anything else since I just got the laptop but on Unreal 2003 using the 8240 with the ATI firegl v5000 card, if I'm on battery power, the game just unexpectedly closes after about 2-10 seconds of play. This usually happens in 2 ways, it'll either start off really slow, as if it were moving in slow motion and close within about 2-3 seconds or start off normal and close within about 10 seconds.
This would keep happening even if I plug the laptop in. Only restarting the laptop on AC power will get the game to run. I thought it might have been the videocard overheating but that means that it'll overheat when I do my solid modeling and rendering for work too but that doesn't seem to be the case. I also turned off the power reduction features of the ATI card and it hasn't helped. Anyone know what's going on
