Malibal Satori

After fighting with UPS, I finally received my Satori. The setup was... well interesting. I ended up going to the city with a friend so I set it up in the vehicle. I faced a few problems along the way but none were too serious.

The first one was that my driver for my graphics card, Nvidia Geforce GTX 680M wouldn't install. It would come up with an error stating that my graphics card wasn't enabled, I went to my device manager and it said "error code 10, could not start." I then began chatting with one of the Malibal service reps and he sent me another driver via email that worked perfectly. My next problem was my own fault, I have read throughout this forum of stories of people RMAing their laptops because they wouldn't turn on and the problem was as simple as the RAM got knocked loose. I then removed my RAM chips and reinserted them. When I looked at the BIOS it said I only had 4gb installed, turns out I accidentally didn't push the chip in all the way (kinda ironic isnt it? lol) My next problem was one that I had never dealt with before so I don't know what caused it exactly. What happened was my laptop couldn't access the internet through applications except Internet Explorer and Chrome. When ever I tried checking for updates in apps it would result in an error, this was easily fixed via a download though Microsoft after googling for a couple minutes. What the problem was my laptop didn't have certifications, so the apps couldn't access the internet.

Now my laptop is up and running great, I haven't put it through a lot of stress only running Need For Speed The Run on Ultra which resulted in 60-75 FPS, and a GPU temp high of 60 degrees C. I will test out Battlefield 3 tomorrow.

 

Did you make sure Windows was verified?

 

Yes I did
