      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I&#039;m looking to buy myself a new gaming laptop and really don&#039;t want to touch Dell any more as their products seem to be getting worse - the XPS I&#039;m using has survived 4 years and still works okay, just not great for newer games, while the Inspiron 17R that&#039;s 2 years old has now gone through 2 hard-drives.<br />
 <br />
I was wondering if anyone knew anything much about what&#039;s really good for a laptop and what&#039;s not worth it. Also if there are any recommendable brands or websites to use.<br />

Budget-wise I...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I&#039;ve recently installed a new CPU cooler since the Stock Cooler just wasn&#039;t doing it anymore cooling wise.<br />
My choice was the 212 Evo.<br />
Installation went fine and temperatures are a good 15° lower than my old cooler, with my CPU reaching a maximum of 52° in Prime95.<br />
<br />
However, when running a CPU-Intensive programm for a longer time, every 1-2 Minutes my Processor just clocks down from 4000Mhz per core to a mere 1400Mhz, which is pretty much Idle core speeds.<br />
This happens for a good 20 seconds...<br />

My current card is the Radeon HD 5770 Sapphire Juniper GT (or XT) model 1GB. The length of it is around 10.5&quot; and I have about 1 cm from it hitting my HDD&#039;s.  Something smaller in length and powerful my budget fits in $250-$350. <br />

Any opinions upon the latest R9  AMD series versus the Geforce GTX&#039;s ??  So far he found...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[So, while playing some games, such as warframe, my second monitor will freeze the display, or simply go black, while I&#039;m in game, preventing things like seeing TeamSpeak in my second monitor. <br />
<br />
The solution: Disable Desktop Composition.<br />
<br />
Open the Control Panel -&gt; Open &quot;System&quot; -&gt; click &quot;Advanced System Settings&quot; -&gt; click the &quot;Advanced&quot; tab -&gt; under &quot;Performance&quot; click &quot;Settings...&quot; -&gt; uncheck &quot;Desktop Composition&quot; -&gt; click &quot;Ok&quot;<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[So basically, computer froze and locked up at some point, shut it down and it hasn&#039;t powered on since. It seems to be getting power still based on the fact the green lights on my GPU are coming on, but nothing else comes on. Thinking something is wrong with the motherboard, but I&#039;m not sure - anybody have any ideas?<br />
<br />
So tried resetting CMOS, didn&#039;t do anything. Maybe fried mobo, maybe fried PSU and lights coming on for no reason? God I&#039;m lost. Thinking I need both replaced at this point.]]></content:encoded>
