    Ok lets start, because I Got like 50% Performence that It should (Or was) Before.

    The laptop is dv6 6020ej
    (6770M, Intel HM65, Intel® Core™ i5-2410M, Windows 7 Home Premium 64BIT.)

    1. BIOS - Since I upgrade my Bios from HP site (to F.1A) My performance reduced.
    There is anyway to get back to the FACTORY BIOS? Because I tried to reset the computer but BIOS can't get restored.
    So This is my question to you guys.

    2. 6770M - Well, This is just Screwed Up.
    I Update to the last HP Driver, 8.830.6.3000, And I can't even PLAY "Low Requirments Game that need ONLY 256 VGA RAM!
    This game Is just STUCK, or Freeze for couple of seconds.


    Guys,
    Im begging (Seriusly, I need your help).

    Thanks alot,
    And Have a Nice DAY..

    When you right click your desktop, is there an option for Configure switchable graphics? If so, select that and make sure you're set to High Performance.
