Guest Bitterkaz Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Hi, I got a Acer Aspire 1520 with 512 ram and a nivida go fx5700. I intalled the 71.59 drivers which have been running fine. With world of warcraft, i experienced some bad performance and was scratching my head quite some time about what to do to raise the speed to 20fps. I flickered off glow effects and my laptop kicked at 50fps... amazing... but now i have a strange problem. After some gameplay the action stops and the screen colors all 'melt' into greens and yellows, clearly there has been a crash. After a while i get a loud tone from the computer... and i reset. I thought it was heat related... or that the card might be clocking itself (though i never selected any such option) but checked and the card is not overclocking and the temperature raises at around 110 degrees max, but while running in windowed mode, i experienced temps of 102 degrees and still crashed. Now when i turn on the game, even if i switcdh glow effects back on, the performance is substancially better, but the game seems to crash. Its an odd effect, as if the screen melted. Its a strange porblem, i know. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank You, Bitterkaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dan Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I get exactly the same problems, and it's extremely frustrating. It also happens with other games like BF2 and Star Wars Galaxies. I am really anvious to get a fix for this issue... an anyone help? D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RRR Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Try installing a driver which comes with Pieter's mobile INF version higher than 30.74 as only these recent INFs support the newly discovered DEV_ID 0347 (Go 5700-V).

Guest Dan Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I installed the 77.76 drivers with the inf file from the drivers main page. I still got the green melt issue after about 30 mins of gameplay. Only option is to reset the laptop. Any other ideas what the problem maybe? I am going to try and give the fans a blast of compressed air later to see if cooling may be the issue. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
