Received my 9262, some questions,

Hi guys I've just received it and it is exceeding all my high expectations.

Review to come soon with pics

I need some help with something though.

I have a pair of bose quiet comfort 2's which i use to listen to everything, they worked perfectly on my old PC....but I'm getting a horrible hissing sound in them, and I'm not sure how to rid of it.

Also the built in camera is not getting recognised, insead I get a message saying"sorry ou have no D-max video capture hardware"

Any help with either of these?

Thanks

Edit: fixed the headphone issue, just need help with the cam.

 

With the camera you have to turn it on. Press fn and f10.

 

Thanks, must have missed that in the manual....

also could someone tell me a god program to monitor gpu and cpu temps.

thanks.

 

^ Most use Riva Tuner or HWmonitor

 

Thanks for the help,all cores and graphics are at 46-51 degrees...is that about normal?

 

My 9262 temps at idle are GPU(9800GT): 41C, CPU(E8500): 48C.
When gaming my GPU temp never gets above 70C with normal fan and drops about 15C to 55C with fan toggled to high.

The Fn + F10 key toggles the camera on and off.

 

mine are at this moment with Media centre open Firefox and yahoo messenger open are as follows:

CPU1 31.0 c
CPU2 30.0 C
Core Temp 42.0 c

 

as for the hissing sound, i have the same problem with my 9262... the realtek integrated aren't the best... i would suggest getting the creative x-fi notebook express if you would like to upgrade


EDIT:

could you elaborate a little?

 

There is a switch on my boss headphones " hi or low"...changed to low, exactly the same sound quality but without the hissing.

 

I have 2 9800GTX's and a q9650 (with the sli enabled) so i guess the higher idle temps are acceptable?

 

hi justice i also have the Bose QC2 and yes the hissing sound is there too. but i set it up to HI as opposed to low as i feel that there is not enough sound power coming out of the speaks. each to their own i guess

 

Yeah I prefer high too, but I couldn't take the hissing sound that I was getting.

On a sidenote 14284 marks on 3d mark 06 - how would you rate this with my system? good, bad, average?

 

14284 is excellent. It is around half of the highest score ive seen of 36000 for a desktop that costs around 7k.

 

Incredible score. Higher than the m17x Chaz just reviewed. Enjoy your beast.

 

Oh thanks, that's encouraging.

I have a new problem now:

When the screen is on and there is a very dark/black image I can just about see quite a large white cloud on the left of my screen.

If I look at the cloud from a 45 degree angle it's even clearer

It's fine when there is no dark image, I can't see this cloud.

Anyone heard of this before, does it get worse with time, and should/can i get it repaired.

Thanks for your help.

 

i just got my sager 9262 with same specs as you and im also having same problem with hissing when im using my head phones, and LOL i had the same problem with my camera to and i had to call sager for the answer

 

i have the same system but i got 15029 3dmark06 score check it out on youtube (type sager 9262 in search it the one of the 5 videos that pop up

 

What drivers are you using?I'm using factory drivers right now

and lol at the same problems.

 

Nobody ever had the white cloud issue then?

 

Hi Justice,

I also have a light leakage that looks like a cloud on my screen (bottom left), don't think there is anything we can do about it...
Apart from that, how is you screen... colors quality, any dead or stuck pixels???

 

nice scores on the new quad chips. i think my q6700 is the limiting factor here and also vista
