    Do you mean under load or while idle?

    K is it normal in crysis warhead that when you turn shader quality on enthusiast you see blacksquares? is that because I dont have enough shader models on my system or something, its only on this one tree and when I zoom in on the gun.

    Also lets say my temps are too high I just dled the amd tool, how do you make your fans in the G73 work harder?

    Also while running amd clock tool I got BSOD twice...... How do I fix this what is this??

    60 idle 95 max.

    There is a huge thread (two now) about this. Learn to search the forums.

    Other things you'll find while searching the forum: Answers to your question about manual fan control (Protip: Search keywords "Manual Fan Control") and BSOD questions.

    Not a hardware problem, ask Crytek why their engine doesn't render properly. See if they respond.

    Alright sorry about being a forum newb, but generally when you get squares means your GPU is overheating generally. I had the same problem on my dying ps3, except way worse. Havent had any since last night and I went back to the tree to check if its still there and its not..... was happening when my system was about to BSOD.

    It's no problem being a forum noob. We're all noobs at some point! Generally speaking though, using the search function is good practice on most online communities. Kinda like using google, only internal to the forum. You can also do a custom google search which will only include the specified forum, it's an "advanced" search.

    If you need more help, feel free to send me a private message - there's a buttom somewhere which will let you do it - maybe you have to click on my name first, I'm not 100%. But if you do a quick search on the page (Generally ctrl-F) you can search for particular words. This is especially helpful if you're trying to find information in a long thread and don't have time to read each post separately.

    If you're looking for more information on BSODs, I suggest turning on the system log. Try looking at the event viewer for information as well. These two sources will provide you with error codes for further research - once you have an error code, the first thing you should do is search google for the source! If you're unable to find anything on the topic, feel free to ask a question. Chances are that someone else has had the exact same problem though! And this means, they'll already have asked a question somewhere, and you can simply use their solution - that way, we don't end up with many threads on the same topic! Life becomes easier for everyone when we stick to forum rules and etiquette, don't you agree?
