Lo all!
I've recently bought a laptop, the Asus G2K-7R020C with the following specs: CPU: AMD Turion™ 64 X2 TL64 CPU speed: 2,2 GHz RAM: 2 GB RAM type: DDR2 RAM (667 MHz) GPU: Mobility™ Radeon HD2600 Dedicated vid ram: 256 MB Native Resolution: 1440x900 Sadly Vista was installed on, I tried to like it... never again. So after a format I installed XP and had quite a quest to get all the drivers. Sadly Asus says it's a vista-only laptop and tucked away the XP drivers on their ftp instead of their site. Anyway, everything is installed correctly and runs ok. I used the Mobility Modder to mod the latest drivers (Cataclyst 8.7) and installed them. Now this is where it gets weird... I can game fine when I just installed the drivers, however, after a few days performance is abysmal and I need to reinstall the drivers. After the reinstall of the drivers its fine again.. for a few days. Ad infinitum. Obviously this is seriously annoying and I hope anyone could provide me with a solution for this. Thanks in advance. |

Alright people, keep in mind correlation does not mean causation!
I always game at night.. laptop would be on all day. Gaming performance was bad, while irc+surfing was fine.. so I reinstall drivers. After that, I would check gaming performance and it was perfect. But what do you do when you reinstall drivers? Exactly.. you reboot. Turns out I had a CPU hog which didnt show up in Taskmanager. The hog was kinda slow as it needed time, so after a reboot it wouldnt hog as much. Hog is gone.. Performance is fine. Stupid asus laptop applications.. |
