Err, what?

You know your GPU's fan and heatsink?
Take it off, and put it back on?
You might need thermal paste.

Oh.

I uninstalled all my drivers and couldn't get the Driver Sweeper since it was discontinued. Didn't find anything with ATI's token in assembly so I installed the drivers you linked. It still lags but its not a big deal to me at this point, I can still play a decent amount of games. Thanks anyways.

Wow, why would they cancel Driver Sweeper?
It's one of the best free softwares, probably beside Malwarebytes.

Will try after I'm done on my minibike

Is this okay for web-browsing, flash games, and light apllications?



A Pentium's integrated graphics? That sounds like forget-all. I already am looking at another one that uses an i3 with HD 3000 integrated at roughly the same price, but it is 3 pounds heavier.

Well everything seems mostly fixed. I can play more games now, but Recording is still slow and GTA IV is slow too. I might look into it tomorrow or this weekend. I hope Saints Row 3 runs well because I pre-ordered a month ago.

Thanks for the help, I would have died of bordem or something.

Assuming this is stuff you're looking to buy, I'd say go for the i3 if it's only 3 pounds more expensive.

I believe that by pounds he means weight, not currency.

But yeah, go for the i3

Ah, lol. Dunno how much a pound is in kiloes/grams.

[HelplessNobb88]

This is the laptop with the i3 BTW:

The MSi CR640-035US

[Pepsidude]

'bout to try the Driver Sweeper from cnet. Wish me luck.

[HelplessNobb88]

Agh. An amazon review said the 640 has an ass-awful touchpad. Logitech makes a mouse that works of all surfaces but still...is that a good reason to turn away?
