    Acer Aspire V5-122P Owners' thread...can i ask why the owners thread is locked/closed???

    i had a good answer for the GPU issues with drivers that im not sure was mentioned in the thread, however, please correct me if im wrong....

    anyways for anyone thats interested, ive managed to get my cpu% to 3-5% with renaming the following files atikmdag.sys and atikmpag.sys to atikmdag.sys.old and atikmpag.sys.old located in windows/system32/drivers.

    looks like it has reverted back to windows display driver even though it still shows amd issues.will experiment and see what happens.

    cheers

    Hello

    Threads close automatically a year after last post has been made.
    I opened it again, in case you want to make a post there.
