After the death of my G73JH I got this Qosmio only to realise that it was an i5... So I decided to put my Asus' i7 720QM processor in there...
The process went on smoothly till after the first boot, I realised that the machine would not boot past the OS selection screen. I reset the BIOS to default settings and it worked.
But I forgot one thing, before the Asus died, the "TurboMode"had beenenabled,meaning thatthe CPU had been overclocked.
I doubt if the Qosmio's cooling system is cooling the processor well. I checked with speed fan and the CPU temperature is at about 75C... I don't like the look of that. The Intel Turbo Boost Monitor also says I'm doin 2.40-2.66Ghz. Intel Processor ID Utility says the processor reported a CPU speed of 1.72Ghz instead of 1.6Ghz.
Unfortunately, the BIOS of this laptop doesn't support overclocking or "underclocking"...
Any ideas???
Thanx in advance...
