Thanks

 

Have you tried the usual stuff? Make sure you are NOT in any type of power saver mode through either Windows Explorer or Nvidia? I always forget to set my stuff to High Performance after I reformat.

 

What are the steps to make sure that im running for high performance

 

check stealth button, i think your running the intergrated card

 

my stealth buton does not seem to be responding

 

got into bios and see what card you are using. what order did you install your drivers?

 

- Chipset driver
- Driver for the current active video card at the moment:
> Intel graphics adapter driver (Integrated) (Installed by Windows)
> NVIDIA graphics adapter (Discrete)
> ATI graphics adapter (Discrete)
- Audio driver
- On-Screen Display Manager Application ([Fn] + [F7])
Switch to the other video card driver by pressing [Fn] + [F7] and install its driver.
- Network adapter driver (Installed by Windows)
- Wireless network adapter driver (Installed by Windows)
- Remote control receiver (CIR) driver (Installed by Windows)
- Touchpad driver
- Media card reader driver
- Turbo Memory driver
- Bluetooth driver (Installed by Windows)
- Webcam driver ([Fn]+[F9]) (Installed by Windows)
- Camera utility (Cyberlink YouCam) - available at My Hive
- Webcam FA x64 driver
- Command Center application
- AlienFx Lighted Keyboard Patch (Check Note below)
- DVD player application (Power DVD) - available at My Hive
- PowerDVD Patch
- CD/DVD recording application (Nero Suite) - available at My Hive


I how do i check which card im using in the bios?

 

maybe you can't, i can't remember sold my old m15x months ago. try going to nvidia website to see if they have an updated driver for your card. also did you check the rest of you fn keys to see if they work. if not try reinstalling your osd again.

 

It seems when i restart, it said i was on the intergrated graphics card and i hit the fn f7 key but it did not say it switched

 

if i can remember, after you enable it, it will tell you to restart for it to switch gpu.

 

it seems im stuck in the vga standard mode and the cpu still sucks

 

its not telling me or asking me anything, i dont know what i did wrong

 

Did you check if your other fn keys work?

 

the other key work, but i cant switch between the other video card and the cpu is still under performing

 

Try this. Turn it off, unplug it, take out the battery and press the power button for 20 sec then put everything back and boot

 

I reinstalled the OSD and seemed i was in stealth, also, i think i was on my nvidia the whole time, even tho when i saw the resolution screen, it did not say it was the nvidia. It just says mobile display device


OMFG it was stealth, my score went from 3500 to 8600 in the bench... lol

thanks for the help guys

 

After all that it was my first suggestion. Lol

 

well it seemed i got my bench to jump from 8600 to 9500, but i had to press the stealth a little longer and harder

 

Sorry for the double but i have something else that concerns me.

It seems my GPU runs super hot when im not gaming, its at 75 c (167 F) right now. Does the GPU normally run that hot? I have the updated bios

 

yeah the older m15x does run kinda hot. i suggest getting a cooler for it. also putting in new thermal paste will bring it down a few degrees, thats pretty much all you can do.

 

ok i'll grab a cooler, i should prolly not worry all that much then eh?

 

your still good but monitor it regularly, over heating is an issue for those models. but with a good cooler you'll be good.

 

well the cooler has the temp of the gpu down to 65, now how do i use rivatuner to make the fans on the GPU work harder.

 

you cannot control the fans. fan control is handled by the BIOS.
