    could it be a bios issue? anyways i've never messed with the bios. i don't even know the bios version i have. am i suppose to update it? however i dont want to tamper with bios but i will if it solves the matter even though it rarely happens.

    when i first switch it on the screen remains black. then i press the power button again to turn the laptop off. i press the power again and it starts up fine. it rarely happens but when it does, its annoying.

    i really want to resolve this issue before it gets any bigger. also, the last time this happen was about 3 weeks ago, maybe 4.

    like mine then but without the messed up bios settings .. ok , I would unplugged the notebook , remove the battery , then take off the small cell inside the notebook (be careful not to break that thing that holds it) , wait 5 mins then pop everything the way it was , switch it on , go into bios load the default settings , save & exit .. now it's up to you if you wanna give it a go

    2nd option is to update BUT i don't think it's related


    anybody got better solution ?

    That happened to me a while back a few times. I've never fiddled with bios or anything. One day I pressed the power button, walked away. Screen never turned on. Whenever I just turn it off, its fine after that.

    Weird...

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY VULVINA

    Hahaha good work len!

    If you want to practice adding rep to me... :p

    See that green or grey dot down the bottom of their post to the left of their signature? Under where is says how much rep you've already got. To the right of that dot there is another button. If you hover the mouse over that button, it'll say "add to Lambofreak's reputation". Click this and write a brief description telling them why you are adding to their rep.

    Repeat the process 50+ times ;)

    EDIT: And len, can you get us a link to your score? Cheers

    The only problem with flash clocking the gpu is its a bit scarey i have to admit, i can get like 9k on vantage CPU but thats about it, i know the 4850 can take up to 1125 memory on the GPU when properly cooled and flash clocked.

    Unfortunately lenaa, it appears that there arent any 4850s anywhere bud :9

    There a rare breed for out machine, except occasionally alienware sells them.

    As for you lambo, i have the sub zero temps (and some snow) the big cooling fan isnt so big but it covers the whole open area of the gt725,

    And i believe i've found the ol' German forums i used to camp around :D they have a memory timing tool which appears to actually work o_O

    Hey thanks everyone!

    Len, I may be old but... :p Anyway, yes I was referring to your RAM. My system has Transcend, but it's the jetram, which is not designed for serious OC. If you want to do some serious OC, you'll need to use a premium grade RAM.

    Sorry what's the tool called?

    Im trying to find something which might allow me to alter the divider my machine uses for my RAM!
    (Which if I remove offending SPD entries, it would do XD)

    Not sure but I believe what you're looking for can be found here: http://www.tweakers.fr/index.html

    Use this software at your own risk! This stuff is NOT for beginners!:GEEK:

    OK, I'll bite... What did you get for replacment? I've been looking at Kingston HyperX (KHX6400S2ULK2/4G), with 4-4-4-12 timings. But the USD $200 is a big chunk of change. Mind you, for another $50 I can get 8gb! :D

    How easy is it to play video games on my HDTV with my laptop? Do I just hook up the HDMI cord. How would I get my game sounds on my television also? Does the HDMI take sound from the sound card as well as video from the video card? Also, how would I do it to a standard CRT VGA tv, like the one with the red, yellow, and white plug?

    Do I need any kind of software or what? I just wanna play some games on my sexy big screen.

    HDMI Carries audio and video, so just connect, and set you TV to second monitor or primary under your Catalyst Control

    I think you will need an adapter to convert the vga cable that goes in the gt725 to a scart cable

    That would be a bad idea, unless there's no alternative.

    You will be going from digital to analogue which kind of defeats using HDMI, since the signal will become down scaled and crappy. Better to go VGA phono to Component, the adpter will be cheaper, and you will be able to go straight out from VGA.

    Yeah the tool memset supposedly works with our machines.

    I got some higher timing hiyundai (car company) ram as my replacement, so i may try overclock with that (CAS of like 6) and take the default stick out.

    Apparently hyundai electronics are actually reliable though.

    Mine is a CL5 , CL4 is supposedly faster but more expensive got mine for 45£ ;) i know , but what's the point going for 8 when none of my app or games won't take advantage of ? crysis on 64bit uses like 55%+ something of the rams .. so going for 8 is useless IMO. I'd rather get a new proc , which i will once my case with paypal is done :p
    i tried playing on my HDTV .. image quality suck big time using HDMI to HDMI , tried every settings and res available but in vain .. it works nicely using DVI-D .. try to use an HDMI to DVI-D which i think will work better compared to the H&H ..

    Except for bragging rights! :D That's a sweet deal you got on your memory.

    Oh, and Hyundai electronics was spun off from Hyundai global about eight years ago. They're one of the biggest makers of memory (under the name Hynex).

    Len, what did I say about bios flashing!?! Childern never listen to their elders. :rolleyes: So, is it still not right? Please try to clarify what happened.

You might be good at hacking xbox's , PC is different ...Even experienced users stays clear of flashing their card ...Where's your vantage now eh ? By the way I got every single bios' from 1s to the latest , firmwares , etc etc .. remember , google is your best friend
