Morris Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 what driver are you using? did the problem happened AFTER driver switch? or all the sudden it started to do this? Powermizer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galdere Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 You provide too little information. I can say this much, you have a GeForce 7000M which is capable of very little, so don't expect much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I think he has a 8400m gs rather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galdere Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Possible, but I doubt it based on the what he has said, when not expecting us to be mind readers. http://www.acer.co.uk/public/page9.do?sp=p...;crc=1921725699 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 what driver are you using? did the problem happened AFTER driver switch? or all the sudden it started to do this? Powermizer? using this versjon of driver: 7.15.11.7493. think the problem have been all the time since i buyed it, since i used it for school at the start, but now i want to play games on it to, have upgraded to 3gb ram. have turned of the Aero thingy to, the vista effekts. wel with the dualcore prossesor and the graphic card shuld atleast run cs 1,6 and wow without laggs. on www.canyourunit.com it scores good on those games. :) what is Powermizer? and when i run Speedfan all other fans are around 30-40 c but the gpu are on fire and between 80-96c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galdere Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 You have very limited graphics capability unfortunately. Hopefully Andrew (who is experienced with the 7000m) will see this and tell you the most suitable driver and how best to overclock it. If not do a forum search for "7000m".

Galdere Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) Although that temp is high, is not uncommon for the 7000m in a 7520, from what I have seen. As I said already, your graphics are not meant for playing most modern games. Try the forum search I suggested for how to make the most of it. EDIT: Other than dealing with having a nVidia 7000m, I take it you have looked at issues concerning the Acer 7520, like bios updates here: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_7520.html Edited December 1, 2008 by Galdere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bades Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 you say that Galdere. But a 7000M can play Counter Strike Siurce fine my friend!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wook Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 you are getting some pretty high temperatures. how old is the unit? Open it up, and clean out the heat sink. sounds way to hot. i would normally suggest 179.14, but seeing as you have high temps. then i would say no. try 174.74. its old school now but still performs very well, and is the most stable driver to date.

wook Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 you wont lose the warantee opening it up. you are just cleaning out the dust. If its under warantee then tell them about the temp. you are gettings. thats getting pretty hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew55 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 As wook suggested, try cleaning out the dust from your unit. This gpu hardly gives overheating problems, so this should help and even fully remedy your situation. Also that WEI score is just about right for this card as was stated this card is no speed demon. For all the drivers I have tried (on vista) the best i have seen for this card was 177.92. Try them only after you have resolved your heat problem as these drivers run ever so slightly hotter than the others. But they do wield good performance. Refer to this thread: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index....showtopic=21136 There are known problems with wow and the 7000m/7150m that only occur on vista. If you are not on Vista then this should not be a problem. Hopefully your heat problem will be resolved. Please post back with the results. Thanks!

Thanks! i opened the pc, but it were almost no dust there, prob because the pc havent been used that much. speedfan says 85c, when almost no progs are running. here is what it says: GPU 84C HD0 35C Temp1 48C Core 37C shuld i try to instal the 177.92?

wook Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 andrew knows more about this unit that i do.. so im not sure. all i can suggest is trial and error with differing driver versions. you may ifnd oen that works well for you. that does seem real hot tho. i'd contact the company. What they will probably do it take off the heatsink and apply new thermal paste/ pad and then replace the heatsink. this should solve the heat issue. you could even do it your self... not too hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, those temps are really hot (idle i usually get around 60C-65C) and gaming it would go up to about 90C for the most. I think we have acknowledged your gpu is running hot and i seriously suggest you get in contact with acer and see what they can do for you. Incidentally are you overclocking your gpu and what are your gaming temps? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew55 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yeah so it looks like you r only solution is to get on the phone with acer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yeah so it looks like you r only solution is to get on the phone with acer hi andrew, I have the same setup as you and I was wondering what kind of FPS you get in games such as WoW, if you do play. Before the latest update i was getting around 40 fps now im getting like 4 on the lowest settings possible. And could you clarify what you mean by problems with the 7000m and vista? i have been thinking of going back to xp but have not made my final decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew55 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Okay, matt. Some people (not all) have claimed they are experiencing many problems with vista and their gpu (7000m) while playing wow that doesn't occur on xp which leads me to believe it is a vista problem. Some people however, don't experience these problems. I don't and have never played wow so i don't know the expected frame rates but 40fps seems fair. What drivers were you using before and after the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OROKU Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I have the same laptop. I used Powergrip to OC the GPU.. now in gaming goes up to 93C.... without OC.... run from 70 to 90- One year old.. i think its the Nvidia 7000m. im using vista 32 my gpu core goes as far to 500mhz... (350 is the already normal clokc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew55 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Those temps without oc are ok. You are pushing those clocks a little too far but if they are stable then I guess you can stay with it. I don't recommend going too far beyond 450. http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index....showtopic=19450 See above thread for more info.
