MARKIV Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Have already tried the above to no avail. I think it's an incompatibility with HP Pavillion laptops, as on other forums HP owners report the same problem. It's weird though, if you run it in a window and have it going behind a window, the menu's run at full speed, but when the Gears of War window is in the foreground it's using less than 50% of both CPU's and runs 1 frame every 5 seconds.

The 2-Belo Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I think it's an incompatibility with HP Pavillion laptops The problem might not only be with Gears of War in regards to HP Pavilion laptops. I'm attempting to run Star Wars Galaxies on a DV6000 and have never been able to play it for longer than a minute without crashing. I sure didn't want to hear that. Is HP doing something wacky with its nVidia chips that's causing such instability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARKIV Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I've fixed it!! Finally found a post on Tom's Hardware http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/98898-25-gears-problems Run msconfig click the startup tab, disable all and reboot. I haven't gone through each program to find out which caused the problem ( and I didn't have powerDVD in my list ), but I can now run Gears of War at a good frame rate!!
