Laptop overclocking adventures

[kwchang007]

Vertex shaders, pixel pipelines, ROP's, Shaders, etc take your pic We're f*cked with our cards
Hyundai should just make RAM imo. They're good at it.

lol yeah, but you now have a x1900.....lucky you. Me on the other hand....all plans to build a comp are off because I realized how much car insurance costs, and imo a car is the only way I'm going to get a decent paying job. So...until I get alot of money (not happening) or I get a decent job....no new comp for me

EDIT: 500+ posts for laptop oc!!!!

managed a measly 46 secs @ 1.93GHz on my OCed Pentium M 750 for SuperPi 1m.

Too depressed to try out SuperPi 32m

Submit it to HWBOT it may be better than other M 750s

It isn't...I get 33 seconds. There must be something wrong. Have you got a firewall/antivirus running? If so turn them off. Also end the Process tree of Mspeng.exe (ctrl+alt+del) if you have it (windows defender) because it uses up the CPU cycles in batches. Also try disabling the services.exe (indexing service- used in the Windows search) manually by going to Control Panel > Administrative tools > Services. Make sure to turn it back on after- otherwise search stops working. Also make usre you set the process to Realtime priority in Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del). Hope that helped.

All that is why I love having dual core. All I have to do for a single threaded process is set it to realtime and be down with it

It is damn cool isn't it! However Chang dude, what do you think I should do: I have a motherlode of cash coming in soon (£200~) - should I
1.) Spend it on wine women and song
2.) Upgrade the RAM on my Laptop (to 2GB)
3.) Scrap my AMD Motherboard+CPU setup and switch out for a Core 2 based system then oc the shit out of it.
4.) Get an 8800GTS 320MB

First though 8800 . Second is core 2 (you might as well get the 8800, then next time you get money get a penryn system). Third is women (but wine sucks). Fourth is worry about your laptop, you got your desktop, take care of that baby first.

wine and dine your lady....where's your sense of nobility?!

I'm sure she wont be too pleased to know that your desktop comes higher on your priority list than herself. "Women are for life, not just Christmas" lol.

By the way, any suggestions on how to deal with the following problem:-

-Updated my laptop's bios with manufacturer's new release
-CPU undervolted prior to upgrade
-After bios update, laptop experiencing random freezing (no BSOD though, just freezing, have to force a hard reboot).
-Cant reflash to old bios because i didnt save it (phlash16 didnt let me do it in DOS).
-CPU undervolting is stable when tested in OCCT and SP2004 for many hours.
-Is this a CPU/RAM/bios problem? Or has it got something to do with CPU voltage fluctuation with the new bios?

Oh and my video bios for my mobility X700 apparently is not in the ROM.....something about "Flash not detected. No ROM" even though it is working perfectly fine hence my ability to write this very post from my laptop.

This freezing problem is the main issue whilst my video bios issue is more of an nagging concern.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Is it possible you got the model slightly wrong for the BIOS flash. I would e-mail the manufacturers and see if you can get an earlier revision because this one is obviously screwing around. I find that sometimes they keep the model name but have changed some random component; thus when you flash you screw up your system.

Ignore the X700 BIOS problem- I find that with the VGA BIOS on laptops it's just best to be left alone.

On your point about women- that's why my last(and first) gf split up with me. She seemed to have this weird idea that I liked my computer more than her....

Yup, some laptops even have the vga bios in the real bios.

Oh and did you?

Well you see this is how I divide my time currently

Computer>Friends>Fixing Computers>Sleep>Family>Bike>Girls......I wonder why i can't get another gf??? Oh well; going to Mallorca at the end of this week so if you could take over the maintenence of this thread during that time I'd appreciate it Chang dude On the plus though there are going to lots of girls there who I can convince of me being some rich son of a random oil tycoon. And you know what that means --->then i can sleep with themNearly happened in Sardinia last year but I realised that under British law I would be considered a paedophile if I'd been fucking at 15(seems so long ago) and the girls of 13+14 in a threesome (yes it nearly became heaven), so I got kind of weirded out and bailed:shadedshu

I was talking about money, lol. Lucky you.....I have no such opportunities cause of my parents. BTW what's Mallorca? Oh and yeah...thread maintainence...not to hard, hasn't been much traffic here

You'll probably know it as Majorca. And Thanks. And on the time issue- actually it's the same with my money (just remove sleep and family!)

it's in Spain.

I got the correct bios, it's just that the "correct bios" doesnt seem to work properly lol. I'll probably give Acer a ring and see if they can provide me with my earlier bios.

Good idea- they've probably changed something in the laptop & BIOS.

I shall bench it soon, when I stop talking on aim and report back, that and just keep on posting telling me to post it. Sorry, I don't have a rar uncompressor, I'll have to wait till tomorrow (been too lazy to download one)
