    i recently reinstalled my os and driver from resource disc,
    my problem is,when i play games using crossfire enabled my battery will stop charging and give me lot of lags,but if i use single gpu it works fine.

    can somebody give me the fix?


    NB:i already reinstall my os 2times,and i already flash the latest bios...

    Bios update? I'm not 100% sure what controls the power charging portion. I may just suck at giving advice here :(

    Not sure if this will help, but worth a try. Unplug the laptop, remove the battery and do a complete power drain (hold the power button down for 10-20 seconds). Put the battery back in, plug it back in and power it up. See if that makes any difference at all.

    Good luck, not sure what else to suggest.

    Oh man you had me all excited about your problem being fixed lol. I feel like I'm in your position with you looking for any possible thing that could help :(

    Is it still under warranty? I wouldn't put up with that issue.
