Well, if you use the AC power option every day I suggest using the battery until there is 40% power left and then store it somewhere. If you never use the battery but keep recharging it every time you turn on your laptop or attach the AC power connector, it will wear out the battery. You can recharg...
That information is printed on top of the processor. However, download CPU-Z and look for revision and stepping. The stepping of the SLA2E is A1. There are different stepping such as A, B, C etc.
To check stability and CPU temperature I recommend downloading Prime95 . Run it simultaneously with Speedfan and Windows Task Manager. Prime95 is used by overclockers to check stability and CPU temperature. It's a program for CPU torture testing. Choose "Small FFT Size" in order to stress ...
I contacted support, and he told me to update my graphics-driver (oh yeah thats quite normal to have to do when your computer is 4 hours old :? ). This may sound strange to do but video drivers are updated regularly and even if the computer you buy is like 1 day old, the model and drivers may be mo...
I think your processor works as it should, but the data may be wrong or simply misinterpreted. The CPU must deliver its data at a very high speed. The regular RAM cannot keep up with that speed. Therefore, a special RAM type called cache is used as a buffer. A temporary storage so to speak. To get t...
Open the Control Panel and then enter the Power Options. Click "change plan settings" for the selected plan (Balance, Power saver, High performance), and then "Change advanced power settings". Then this window will appear: http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/3593/hybridcopynd6.png
Change your power settings and use hibernation mode instead of hybrid sleep mode. Go to your power options in the control panel and disable "allow hybrid sleep".
If you are talking about "artifacts", then that is either GPU or driver related. Usually you get those kinds of display errors when the video driver shuts down or when your graphics card overheats or has other kinds of hardware issues. Updating the video drivers may solve this kind of issu...
It looks like you have a BTX form motherbard which is like a mirror version of the ATX motherboard (which is more common). The two white slots are PCI slots. If there are no AGP or PCI-E slots, you cannot install graphics card that use either of those two interfaces. However, you could get yourself ...
