When playing a game that uses my discrete card, my computer goes into sleep mode after about 10 minutes repeatedly until the keyboard doesn't respond. The temperatures aren't incredibly high for my laptop, but it doesn't happen when I'm using the integrated card.

So I can actually use it more than once if I intend on changing any of my hardware in the future?

I've always bought OEM and I've never had a problem with upgrades

What about changing motherboard and cpu?

Disable all power management options to automatically enter S3 or something? I have no idea.

Activating over the phone is recommended if you update the motherboard, but you can still use the same copy.

i think this is where i should put it because i know its not my internet
lately whenever i open a page into a new tab it takes like 10 seconds to load but whenever i load a page in the same tab it goes to the page immediately and i am so vexed i am PEEVED
I did a virus scan thing because I may have downloaded shoddy stuff recently but nothing came up

since android is technically a computer, this is on topic:
i'm getting this lovey lady as a late christmas present 2-4 months later:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007M50PTM/

few of the primary reasons why im picking this over the cheaper and more powerful nexus 7:
that easy to access and unobtrusive task manager right on the taskbar, also calculator which i use often.
10.1" screen.
NOT TINY STORAGE + EXPANDABLE MEMORY.

probably gonna get this at best buy.

any thoughts/better options?
