heya - does your CPU frequncy scaling work fine under the XP? The sudden shutting down of the system is obviously related to the CPU overheating (after it reaches 85 ot 95 Celsius the system turns itself off). It may be that the high temeratures alredy affected your CPU....

hey - which windows do you have, XP, Vista? Does the BIOS detect your driver? (hit the F2 button during the start up and try to find the HDD's specifications in one of the tables). It could be that there's a problem with the SATA harddisk driver which means the installation application can't detect ...

Hey everybody! My Amilo Pro V2045 (Pentium M-740 1,73 GHz (FSB 533MHz), ATI Mobiliy Radeon X300, 512 RAM) used to be a freakin' little hot piece of something I deffinitely wasn't happy about at all. I decided to do something about it and today I have a stable, cool, quiet laptop with a 3,5-4 hours &...

but the ultimate question is - why doing so at all? I was tempted myself to try Vista but finally came to a conclusion that it just doesn t offer anything to me which would force me to upgrade my RAM...besides - heart a lot of complaints about the sound & card drivers.....instead I focused on de...

Heya! I FINALLY got rid off the horrible temperatures and the constant on-and-off going vent related to it even if I actually wouldn't do anything with my laptop. The problem was NOT concerning the CPU - I tried the Notebook hardware control in order to reduce the CPU voltage but it didn't solve my ...

a stupid question but did you try to format the HDD somehow? If you can't get there via windows installation you can either try to download some utilities & do it on-boot or you can take out the HDD, put it into a usb-connect case & try to seek for troubles/format on a different computer. To...

Privetik!!! It's hard to say where the problem is....I'd say it must be in the SATA disc though...what action is it doing during those 7 pct? Do you at least make it a point where you choose your partition fot the install? Is it a brand new ntb/have you ever been running some working system on it? I...

thay will help you make your system a lot more stable & safe: http://www.jasonn.com/turning_off_unnecessary_services_on_windows_xp It's hard to believe Microsoft tries to make users feel safe about their door being locked well while they leaving the garage wide open....I got sick of all these pr...

Can't help you that much as the only thing I ever did with this kind of an immense hole in the system was the only reasonble one - just turned that thing off...even in the services (type services.msg & look for netmeeting). And make sure you check your system really well for possible viruses - p...

hi there - I'm not crying about it - it's not a big deal since you can pretty easily hammer it down with Notebook Hardware Control. So just check your CPU frequency after hybernation (a non-stop working fan should rise your suspicion). As I said - it's a minor & easily fixable bug but it kills t...

hi there - this might be a stupid question but do you know by any chance where one could get a driver for soundmax HD audio? HP, Dell, Assus & others are out there with a 5.12.whatever version & the dinosaur FS still sticks with a version 5.10.whatever...oh god! how I wish I'd had purchased ...

Hey folks, just tying some linux stuff that's out there - does anybody have a good word to spread about specific linux distribution? My main concern is the graphic - I installed ubuntu 6.06 - it works OK but I don't think the 3D acceleration is what it should be (and watching DVD's is also rather pa...

& what's the wrong with your current one? If you have the feeling that it misses to type a letter every once in a while than it's probably a keybord controller issue - I've had that kind of problem & had to flash it (from versio 0.16 to 0.19) & it works fine now. You can download this fr...

if the machine doesn't even load bios then it might be a chipset problem or the CPU gone too hot & crashing...Either way you'll have to open it - the least you can try is to take out the HDD & try to load the bios without it - but I'm affraid you have to contact FS anyway...

it's underneeth the keybord, gotta lift that one up. What did you get - two 512 ones? Make sure that you always stick in a set of identical memories - otherwise goes your dual channeling...
