smax Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Could it be an overheating issue? I know that whenever my brother's old Sony overheated it would kill itself and reboot for no apparent reason. The games might just might push your system to the point where it overheats. Have you overclocked or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 No I did not overcloack it, and I already had it in servis, They told me that it is not hardware problem and I have it about 3 month so it is practi. new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrice Roux Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 If you are using the modded INF you have access to the overclocking menu. (clock frequency settings) Try to downclock the 3D mode by 25%... play the games and check if they crash. Reason: You don't need to overclock a video card to reach overheating instability.

Jet Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 It seems that it works :) Thank you Edit: One stupid question- will be the grafic now slower- can I solve it somehow???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Do you notice it is slower? A 15%-25% decrease shouldn't be much, would you rather have a stable system or an overheating one? You can underclock it a bit less to find a good spot that doesn't overheat if you want to test it a bit more, although you probably won't get much extra speed.

OK now that you found out that your graphic system is overheating try to find the limit. 25% was a lot... so you lose a LOT of frames per second. Downclock 10 or 5 % and check if your machine is still stable. The cause of the overheating is an improper design or manufacturing of the graphic card cooling. May be with the proper description of the issues and the workaround you can return your laptop under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
