    Hi I am new here, before I post I did some research with what is wrong with my laptop, I tried most thing that I could ever tried and my M15x is still very very slow.

    I have reformated several times and even after that the system is still performing really slow. :mad:

    I only score a 3534 for 3d mark 06 and that is ridicilously slow. I used to get much more than that when I just got my system and tested it. :eek: :eek:

    here's score details:
    3DMark Score 3534 3DMarks
    SM 2.0 Score 1682
    SM 3.0 Score 1717
    CPU Score 724

    This is my Spec:
    Operating system Microsoft Windows Vista

    Processor Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9300
    FSB 200 MHz
    Processor clock 2493 MHz

    Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GT
    Memory 2048 MB
    Core clock 500 MHz
    Memory clock 799 MHz
    Driver version 7.15.11.7637

    Memory 2048 MB

    I updated to x36 bios as well, doesn seem to have much changes to me, average VGA temp is around 55-65.

    really not sure what is wrong here, is I tried anything within my knowledge and if anyone could enlight me out of this it would be very much apprecaited.

    By the way is there anyway I could upload image here so it makes everything clearer??

    Check to make sure you are not using or on Stealth Mode. I hope this helps. God Bless :)
