Euro's First Bake - Pavilion DV9000 (Help?)
davemonkey replied to EuroFight's topic in Miscellaneous Hardware
i used a heat gun on my dv9700 , went around the gpu in a circular motion for about 5 mins or so . i used a foil tray on mine which i cut out a hole the same size as the gpu chip to shield nearby components from the heat. 2 years on and mine is still going strong -
i have both 19" ips and a 19 inch tn side by side on my desk , the ips is so much more vivid and less tiring on the eyes , there really is no comparison ips wins hands down !

Artifacts while using web browser?
davemonkey replied to NCC10281982B's topic in Video Cards and Monitors
if you have updated your drivers , roll back to earlier ones , graphics anomalies can be tricky . check all connectors , cables etc . remove any overclocks , cpu and gpu use memtest , memory corruption can be an issue might be worth swapping out psu if you have a spare to test run it in safe mode , see if you still get problems sorry if this list is a bit random but pinning it down can be real hard , i wish you luck -

its the drivers , 320.49 has lots of known freezing and crashing issues . i would try beta drivers or try 314.07 as they are the most stable -

Problem with gtx 650 temperatures
davemonkey replied to xboylast's topic in Video Cards and Monitors
use evga precision x or similar to over ride the fan speed and set to max speed when gaming ! -
i would definitely try removing the cpu again and look across all the pins side on and double check that all the pins are straight , then pull everything out - memory gpu and power connectors and re-seat them all . if that doesn't work try a substitute cpu if you have one and see how that goes . it pays to check everything over thoroughly and also it might sound silly but have you tried resetting the bios or changing the bios battery . i hope you get it sorted dude
