hi

i upgraded my hdx18 with aN E8435 3.06 dual core cpu

it does makes a difference in many business apps
but i tried the ATC3 game and it goes nutz fan wants to come out of chasis till it shuts off byitself

i cant figure out why only certain games does that others are fine
so anyway for bussiness apps is great performace so i take the tradeoff

ever since day one i noticed that when i plug the power brick the light comes on for 4 seconds then turns off weird because the battery says its charging'
is this normal behavior?

thx

That's not even an approved mobile CPU for that unit. There may be BIOS incompatibilities.
