**M570TU/ETU (Sager 5796/5797) Owners Thread**

So it is definitely your sound card. Try disabling the realtek audio device from the device manager in case there is a conflict made with 2 sound cards running at the same time.

 

Any has replaced our disaster fans with silent ones? I know that there is a buttion and we can switch it off but computer is too hot then. I want at least a program which helps the fan work at 25%-30% capacity. Is there any way?

 

The only way I know is silent mode with the A button. I've also been in research for a program, but any was compatible. If you find a working one, pls post it.

 

Yes, A button saves us everytime but my computer restarted itself even when i am at internet because of temperature. so we need something which makes the fan work at 25%-30% capacity. I will definitely post if i find something.

 

I tried Speedfan yesterday but compatibility zero. It only shows temperatures on m570.

 

Hey guys, hope you have a good day.

I followed the thread quite for a time, but now I've got a problem I just can't find a solution for and hoped any of you could bring a bit light into the darkness. . .

First I'd like to say: I HAVE and had almost allways the newest drivers, at least for the graphics, also tried beta-drivers and the stuff.
Bios is 1.00.19, EC 1.00.12

Now the prob:
If playing any ressourceneeding game it just stops working after a few minutes and I find myself back in windows. All measureable temps are in the green zone. Sometimes it happens, that the game just freezes, the screen becomes black, and after 2seconds all is working fine again.
Happened also under Vista ult.x64. There at last came the message: "The displaydriver doesn't work anymore and has been reset."


So. What do you think? Maybe bad Ram?!?
Thanks for now, at least for reading

Forgot:
M570TU, x9100 @ 3.06Ghz, 9800M GTX, 4GB RAM 1066MHz, Win7 HomePremium x64

 

@Kane - you really need to start diagnostics immediately. Do a RAM test, a CPU stability test, a GPU test, etc. You can use OCCTP for all these: Download - OCCT Website english

 

Mhm. Well. .

Thanks a lot, Blacky, for the quick respons,
I did as you told me, and the system broke down three times, trying to do the cpu-occt. Each time after 5-10 Minutes.
The gpu-occt broke down twice, with the message, that the displaydrivers don't react and have been reset.
It seems that the only thing working is the RAM.
I used the standard-tests.
You won't have any hope that the system could be fine by some fixes, do you?!?

 

It looks like your system has a hardware fault. Hopefully you still have warranty on it cause you should send it for repairs.

 

Yeah. Will do so.
Thanx anyway. Hope you'll never leave the thread

 

I wonder why I never thought of this before. Well I disabled the original sound device and so far have had no crashes. Hope this keeps up. If not, Im gonna have the original audio jack fixed so I don't have to fight over this anymore. Anyway thanks for your help.

 

I re-applied my thermal paste with arctic ceramique. But do I have to spread it all over the chip or just put a little of the paste on the center of the chip and then put the heatsink? And do I also have to replace the memories' paste to get most out of the GPU?

 

You can use the dott-method or spread it, both work, but putting a little paste on the center is the simplest and easyest. The memories pads should be replaced once in a while, especially if they seem dry.

 

Hey All! 5797 ftw

I tried searching for a solution but...

I have some wicked keyboard flex on the right side of my keyboard. I pulled it up to take a look underneath and its obvious that there is space between the keyboard and the underlying frame. This appears to be by design.

Does anyone have some insight/workaround WHATEVER for this? It really bums me out when typing and it sounds so... cheap.

 

I agree with Blacky; this is exactly what happened to my machine. Turned out that the GPU had died. Still not sure what caused it. If your system isn't under warranty and you need a new card, I've found a couple of compatible ones on ebay. Slightly cheaper than buying direct from some of the larger companies. I'll try and dig up the exact links, if that'd help you.

Yeah, the keyboard flex is a bit of a bummer. It's not quite as bad on mine, but it can still be somewhat annoying. I know that I've read of people placing thin pads and/or metal sheets in there to brace the keyboard. Maybe it was somewhere in this thread? I'll try and remember just where I read about someone doing a project of that sort. Shouldn't be too difficult to do on the fly, though.

 

@ecar88 Thx. Thinking of going with some sort of thermal tape... we'll c.

 

Yeah, sth like a little tape will do the work. I haven't noticed anything on mine!

 

Nice to know that that works. I've never actually gotten fed up enough to do something about that particular issue, but heck, if just a bit of tape is thick enough then I will.

 

............................

 

Has anyone found a better thermal pad compared to the BerGquist?
I've noticed the Bergquist is 1 W/mK but 2 or 3 or higher is better?

Thanks Blacky!
Summer is almost here and I'd like to throw these in my 9800m GT to help keep it cooler. My temps are usually around 45c idle on it.

I'll see if I can find these in my location... USA.

 

I haven't seen them in US. But you might be able to order them from Europe (which will cost you extra), just drop the seller an email and see what he says.

 

Hi

Could not force myself through all 149 pages, so maybe this is covered before,
if thats the case could someone give me a pagehint maybe?

I have been experimenting with drivers for the webcam(bisoncam) in our dear m570tu, downloading drivers from different resellers. So far I have tried drivers from Eurocom, Prostar, Rock, Sager, Multicom(norwegian reseller) and the drivers from Clevo themselves.

My conclusion is that the best choice is either the one from eurocom of prostar, both these enable recording in up to 1600x1200 and they both offer some nice enviroment options, the prostar maybe winning because they have an additional low light mode lacking in the driver from Eurocom.

Maybe not the most important aspect of the notebook for most of us, but nice to have everything optimized, for the occasional Skype/msn etc chat.

Anyone got any input, maybe tried other drivers/resellers?

Happy to provide links if requested

 

Welcome to NBR Forums. To tell the truth I haven't ever noticed differences in drivers for Bisoncam and don't know any other resellers of Clevo notebooks, except Deviltech and Turbo-x(greek reseller), in which I haven't seen if their site has drivers for notebooks. What is the best driver you have tried already?

 

Thank you

As mentioned in my post my personal favourite is the driver from Prostar

link:

Best Gaming Computer | Best Gaming Laptop | Cheap Gaming Laptop Computers | Gaming Notebook | Pro-Star.com

select pc-cam

Not saying its a huge difference, but there is some, and this driver got the most options.

Will check out the resellers you mentioned, thank you for your input.

 

I use the one form Prostar (*points to sig*). Good to know it's the better one out there and that puts me at ease.
Thanks!

 

Thanx chrishansen for link. Trying it now. I used to use the Sager one.
Btw Does anyone have the 9800m GTX 0617 BIOS for the M570TU, which supports HDMI?
I'd be glad to have one!

 

Try to PM emike.

 

Tried already but he doesn't answer. I've also send a pm to Niko_300bhp who owns a 0617 bios with HDMI support on his Toshiba. I don't know if it will work, but let's try.

 

Guys I just changed my GPU's thermal compound with some Arctic Ceramique but don't see any decrease in temps, but I see an increase. I've put paste as thin as A4 paper, should I replace it and put some more?

 

I wee bit more, yes. And use MX-2, or MX-3 they are better.

 

Thanx Blacky. Unfortunately, here in Greece it is difficult to buy a MX-2 or MX-3 paste and the only ones that we have here are arctic silver 5 and arctic ceramique. I now see a very big reduce on temps.

FurMark: After 20 Minutes, the card stayed at 86oC
Crysis: Run bench for 4 loops and didn't go past 76oC

In the above I had ambient temp of 29oC.

How I spread the compound in the gpu in attachment.

 

Can't tell anything from the picture .
Try to buy some from ebay then, but I am sure someone will be selling MX-2 in Greece. Try to look for websites dedicated to water-cooling, those usually have the best cooling stuff.

 

Hey I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this here so if I'm not I'm really sorry and pm me and I'll delete it.

Anyways I have a Eurocom M570TU and I think the graphics card went on it the screen is just white and black bars. If anyone has a fix please tell because it's out of warranty.

 

Welcome to NBR Forums. You were right to post here about this issue. From my experience, I can tell you that the GPU is dying. I had particular issue with a desktop GPU. The only thing you can do now is the oven thing or just buy a new card. See this thread, but before doing anything, be sure to reseat the gpu, check the monitor connector and if nothing works, do the oven thing

 

Awesome I get to oven my gpu haha yay I'll post about the results later today incase anyone else has this same issue and needs to see what works .. Btw I looked on eBay about a new laptop graphics card and their going for 700 new haha I think I'll just build my own new desktop for that much thanks

 

By the way, what are your sys specs Rawss?

 

Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 2.26GHz
4GB DDR2 RAM
Nvidia GeForce 9800M GT (MB?)
200GB HDD
Windows 7 Pro

OVEN UPDATE: It now works haha but it like sucks .. I get good FPS in games but theres like a lot of input lag or something it just feels laggy but its showing good fps .. kinda confusing i know!

 

Good to see this oven thing really worked!!!
Do you mean that you get suttering? Because I had this issue before but solved it fortunately.
Actually, I was looking for a better cpu than mine, because I got the 9800M GTX and the cpu is a real bottleneck. Evidence: 3dmark06 scores rise by 700 points when I overclock it to limit 2,78GHz.

 

I'm stuck with the dual-core motherboard. I wish I had waited a few months and gotten the quad-capable one.

 

I replaced the GPU thermal pads to this: Bergquist Thermal Pad GAP PAD GP2500 .100" THK (flattened down). It's rated at 2.7 W/m-K supposedly.
I have not noticed any difference but I'm sure it's better than the stock pads.

I gotta get my hands on that MX-3 now.

 

Everything is better than the stock pads and paste. They should do the job.

 

just trying to achieve better temps.

what do you think guys

those temps were after playing race driver grid.

i just remember when i bought this laptop, the gpu temp when playing grid was like 103C lol

 

I'm glad it works great
How did you connect original heatsink with the small copper parts?

 

sekisui 5760 thermal tape, you can buy it from ebay, is the best tape.

 

And where did you get the copper parts?

 

the smaller ones are from ebay.

RAM VGA RHS-03 Copper Cooler Heat Sink DDR DDR2 DDR3 - eBay (item 230496396558 end time Aug-06-10 01:37:29 PDT)

and the taller ones are enzotech.

Petra's Tech Shop

 

The only problem with this mod is the weight. It will add about half a kilo of weight to your laptop.

 

Nice work there jupapri. But what are the temps now? Is this work worth it?
