    If you are sure it worked fine before, it might be a driver issue. Go ahead and backup your computer and try system restore. Or re-install the graphics drivers from the manufacturer's website.

    Hi.. I'm new here.. I have problem with my graphic. The problem is when i play fifa 2004, the game was not smooth and lagging every 2 or 3 minutes. I believe that the problem related with the graphic card driver. I'm using hp compaq presario v3713au. anyone here have suggestion regarding to this problem?

    My laptop graphic card is NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M and chipset NFORCE 630M. Thank you in advance.

    try updating to one of the newer drivers available from laptopvideo2go. Also, another thing to check if I can remember correctly, this particular GPU had problems with powernow downclocking the GPU very aggresively. try disabling power now either through the nvidia control panel or by using a utility like rivatuner.
