I bought a laptop from www.pcmicroworks.com and it has not been able to run a game for more than 10 mins without crashing. 90% of the time it crashes within seconds of trying to run ANY application that renders graphics. The support people have a been nice but have failed to deliver a solution. They say its a "known" problem... It's suppose to be a problem with the BIOS the new Q9450 processor is the supposed culprit. The problem is a graphical artifact crash, The screen gets tiled with 1cm in height by 1/2cm in width rectangles of random colors like tv snow. or warped stretched grafix from whatever game im running. Also it crashes out to the reboot load screen instantaneously sometimes.
I am in the US ARMY and have little free time as it is. 3 weekends i have had this expensive paper weight to lug around and try to run everything from bf2 cod4 CS:S WOW etc... I tried calling home to talk with my family and it crashed when I ran Skype......
// my system specs CPU-Z/GPU-Z
would anyone have any insight to this problem. I've tried the 167 Vid drivers and the 174. you can see i have the 174.82 running...
All and any help would be appreciated. ( I was told by the sales guy to open the laptop and check if the vid card is seated correctly... and told me i WOULD not void thier warranty???!!! )
This is labled as a BIOS issue. Would you guys agree ? - a locked BIOS which we the end user cannot tweak to change volt.freq...
The D900C is a newer Clevo Mobo or an older one? Anyone have a release date on it ? What would be the newest clevo out atm?
