it helps a lot sygnus21 thanks again! i love this forum :D

Awesome information you have there sygnus21 i have some follow up questions though so for example I have an average grade graphics card yet it is Dx11 capable would I benefit running programs on dx11 or make the card suffer more than runnning it on dx9?

Apologies, I may have used the wrong description for it. what I meant was, as to my observations on my notebook, the fans only go all out after exiting a game or some heavy work load.

Some of the games I have seen have the options to select which one to use, dx9 or 10 or 11. Honestly, I have just a little approximate knowledge of what these do most of them from experience. - dx9 runs smoother (just for me i suppose) - dx10 just adds shinys and i did not really use it. for...

I've got the same questions before though my fan speeds always maintain a steady speed when in mid 50 degrees C I also noticed that fans rev like crazy after playing a relatively heavy game. so I guess the fans just maintain a safe temp while under load then cool the hardware down after, for...

Very well. Thank you CountMike for responding to my posts :D One final question: How do I add reputation? Edit: Nvm, found it :thumbsup:

that's usually what I do I use 4000 for simple word processing and typing and HoMM 3 amd is for Unity3D and stuff also I try to immediately assign a graphics adapter to a program right after installing it aaaaand i guess it's also worth mentioning that I always set my power plan to Maximum...

that is correct i have intel graphics and amd switchable graphics though, not separate. or they are separate? im not sure...

that was what I did last time and it didnt really work properly I mean the graphics was being detected as 2 separate graphic cards - intel HD4000 and R5 240m but the catalyst control center will not open additionally, the screen will constantly flicker at times and a notification balloon pops...

it's actually a switchable graphics card Radeon HD8530M asus has not released any catalyst update so im stuck but whenever i try to install the latest mobility drivers with the ccc it recognizes it as r5 m240

yeah I have that one, too when I start a game the fan speed registers at around 500-1800 rpm then at 60 degrees and above it throttles down is it okay to tinker with the fan speeds? EDIT: I guess it tries to maintain 65 degrees? i noticed the fans speed up if the temp goes up 65 is that...

I use HWinfo btw that test lasted for like 5 mins, If I play for hours, temps can increase to 70 degrees and for such a thin little thing like this im a bit worried

so I am using a laptop with switchable graphics card and I am just wondering if this is normal. these are the temps before putting heavy load on the gpu then these are the results after I noticed that the fans are always at 35% and it does not rev up even when the GPU is loaded Am I...

I was about to do that. The weird thing is when I booted up just a moment ago, the context menu is back and I don't know how it got fixed. :O EDIT: So if people have this same problem I have one solution although it is more time consuming and not entirely guaranteed to fix the missing context...

So last night I was up wondering if the new versions of amd drivers will work on my laptop unfortunately it was a very bad decision and I was wrong and it keeps detecting HD8530M as R5 240M so I rolled back and to my surprise I also overwritten the CCC from the previous installation I sort of...

I see, that's a very helpful tip you got there. Thank you very much! The USB boot issue is still not resolved, but I got a workaround by plugging the hard drive to my cousin's mobo with a dvd drive. Do I have to upgrade the BIOS in order to gain access to USB boot option? No matter how hard I...

I may have a solution. can you access the non-damaged part of the disk when you plug it on another PC? perhaps you can make a copy of the recovery partition in one of your PC then use the tool ASUS Backtracker. http://www.asus.com/supportonly/ASUS%20Backtracker/HelpDesk_Download/ EDIT...

Foxconn H55MXV If I remember correctly, we got this board back in 2008 or 2010.

well, things magically began to work now. I tried booting up without/with the CMOS battery and it shows the POST, tried again with all the hardware installed and it works. I am not sure why although I might suspect the faint crackling sound of the voltage regulator might be the culprit. So I...

ya it gave me a little shock when i was picking the build up dust. still won't show display. there are no beeps too. Now I wonder if it's just the CMOS battery that's causing the issue. The thread seem to branch from my main concern, can I change the thread title so maybe if someone with the...
