i installed all the drivers, but for some reason the Video, Wireless and Modem drivers still don't work and appear as missing in device manager.
all were working just fine before i formatted, and i downloaded the drivers from the toshiba site. the installers all said that installation was successful so i don't know what's wrong.
Thanks in advance :typer: ]]> Laptops / Notebook Computers shazamy13 http://www.overclock.net/laptops-notebook-computers/613034-help-toshiba-satellite-m35-s465-wont.html Thinking about getting a MacBook http://www.overclock.net/laptops-notebook-computers/613009-thinking-about-getting-macbook.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:58:01 GMT Ok I know these threads always turn into an Apple Bashfest, but please reply intelligently and as unbias as possible. Thanks.

I'm moving past using my computer for just gaming and word files. I'm out of college and rarely use MS Office anymore, with the exception of maybe Excel once in awhile. I don't play any high demanding games anymore either. Keep in mind that no matter which laptop I go with, I will probably keep my desktop for the occasional demanding game and/or MS required software.

I'm looking for a more mobil means of experiencing multimedia. I want something that I can use to organize/play movies and music, browse internet, and be mobile. The laptop doesn't need to be ultra light or anything, I will probably just be moving it to various rooms and taking it to friend's homes. I would probably take it on business trips just for means of entertainment.

With all the above information, it seems like a MacBook might be a good choice. It's portable, plays media, does internet, and seems to keep things simple (which I like) and is stable. I prefer quality over quantity and I value efficiency.

Also... can anyone provide useful information on the audio hardware/quality of the macbook? I'd hate to have my HD555's go to waste.

I'm open to suggestions, but as I said from the start, please discuss intelligently and maturely. Thanks!

The computer is a Gateway ML6720 and the problem is with the CPU fan and getting a cpu fan failure message on boot up. It says that there is something wrong with the cpu fan and to check it. Once I double checked everything and cleaned out the fan and heatsink and disconnected and reconnected the fan cable I still received the error.

So I replaced the cpu fan and heatsink and Im still getting the cpu fan failure message. fan does turn on when the computer turns on but stops shortly after. I receive the message right after the BIOS loads.

The BIOS is no help, I can get into it but since its a gateway my options are very limited. No cpu fan/temp info at all.

So I think that is the mobo but I want to be sure and make sure that I exhausted all other viable options. So Im desperate for help, any help is much appreciated.

I'm looking for a nice and portable, but powerful laptop. The Netbooks don't cut it for me anymore. I want something more permanent I'm shopping in the $1200 range.

I think I have narrowed it down to the Dell XPS 13, and the Sony Vaio SR series.

Which one would you pick?

I'm two weeks away from going back home and I just got a sweet deal on a used Asus G50Vm-X1. I'm not a n00b to overclocking by any means - at least not for the world of desktops.

Laptops is my new (and unfortunately mandatory) solution for computing...so I hate to sound like a completely ignorant pain in the ass, but I've got to ask...

How do you overclock laptops?:eh-smiley

Obviously I'm going to have to go around the BIOS - therein lies the problem because that's all I know. I have researched it for a while now but this is like reading chinese to me. From what I can decipher, you have to use a program like setfsb and then go from there. Help (PLZ)?

Asus X83VP-A1
A cursory search shows precious few reviews of the X83 model. Existing reviews use the old N81 or X81 platforms in their reviews. Hopefully this can be useful to anyone else ^_^ b

Recently Asus appears to have revisited its N81 series notebooks and the X83VP is one of the resulting variants recently released.
This model in particular eschews the growing 16:9 trend by using a 16:10 screen ratio.

Also worth noting is that this model has a solid mid-range graphics card in the ATI Mobility HD4670. This compares favorably against Nvidia GT240M's, and more often than not beating it.

Another addition is upgrading the base N81 platform from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium. Saving you from having to pay the shipping costs incurred from Asus' own free Windows 7 upgrade program.

Now, why did I highlight the GPU? Simply, I was naturally expecting a laptop with an HD4650 in it when I opened the box. However, a quick review of the specs sticker seen below shows otherwise:


Pardon the flash, that's just the manifestation of my joy coming from a lappy with 915gm integrated video.

Yup, Newegg's got it listed wrong. It's actually an HD4670 in this little lappy. Granted it's just a higher clocked version of what I was expecting, but I also can't say I'm too bummed out about getting a better GPU than I intended :D


Packaging
Packaging is a fairly cut-and-dry affair. Apparently the X83 isn't different enough to the N81 line that it warrants its own box. Also I realize that someone just laid the rice serving spoon on the cooker instead of washing it :mad:


Once you get inside there's still nothing to really set it apart from anyone else. The manuals, battery, power brick, and included microfiber cloth in one part and the lappy in the other.


Opening the laptop up reveals even more packaging material. It's well warranted, since the body is so prone to fingerprints but more on that later.



Initial Impressions
Okay, seems that all that protective meshing was held on with either static or light adhesive. Much good that did me as they all apparently wanted to cover up the breathing holes typically found on the human face.

Anyway, here's how she looks like. Mind you it took some effort getting the protective cover from her bare top, but once I managed it I found it was well worth it ;). Be glad there aren't [many] fingerprints on it, you've no idea how strong the sudden desire to grope it was.


It is worth it to note, though, that the blue is so dark you really can't see much of the design. I was completely unaware that there was a webbed design on it in the first place!

Connectivity is available in spades, there's ports all over this thing. There's a total of 5 USB, 1 eSATA, 1 HDMI, 1 1394 port, 1 mic, 1 headphone, 1 ExpressCard slot, 1 LAN, 1 VGA, the power port, and the card reader.

NOTE: for those of you who still require a modem, there is not one on this model. The pictures below show that it is actually blocked off.

Sometimes you turn it on and nothing comes on the screen. The hard drive is spinning and lights are on, but that's it.

Sometimes it makes it to the BIOS screen, but just freezes where it says, "press F2 for setup, etc..."

Sometimes it will let you into BIOS, but it will go black after about 30 seconds.

Sometimes it might even make it to Windows XP loading screen and then you get a BSOD that just flashes and goes black.

He needs it to include MS Office in the price, which I know makes it a little more difficult to get in that price range. He just needs it to play FSX, CS:S, and hopefully he'll be getting TF2. I figure if it can run FSX, he'll be good for most of the other PC only games, since he won't be getting Crysis anytime soon. I tried IBuyPower and CyberPowerPC, but with Office it puts it over. So I turn to the one group of people that has never let me down in life. :D ]]> Laptops / Notebook Computers Nhb93 http://www.overclock.net/laptops-notebook-computers/611292-mild-gaming-laptop-under-800-a.html Woot, my laptop maxes left 4 dead 2 http://www.overclock.net/laptops-notebook-computers/611130-woot-my-laptop-maxes-left-4-a.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:38:36 GMT Man, i'm happy with this laptop. I bought it for work/gaming, and it can max out left 4 dead 2 with 16x AA and 16X AF. Runs smooth as heck too. That 9700M GT is a powerful card.

Edit: Pic posted. I don't have fraps on my laptop, but I can tell you that with the settings in the picture, it was running smoothly.

I have cogeco high speed cable internet (http://www.cogeco.ca/cable/on/en/res...plore_hsi.html high speed internet standard) and ive had it for a while now.

A friend of mine has the same service, we both did the same test (http://www.speedtest.net/) and i get around 1.55mbs download and upload, where he gets around 7.5mbs for both . (while on my laptop at his house.)

We live in the same area, i recently purchased a new wireless N router but am connected by a hardwire most of the time. any ideas that might be contributing to my slow internet speed.

thanks for any help ]]> Laptops / Notebook Computers Animal Mother http://www.overclock.net/laptops-notebook-computers/611052-slow-internet-lately.html
