I don't usually build computers for playing games, but this time I did. I'm playing GTA 4, and sometimes the FPS takes a dive. Sometimes the GPU is at only 60%, and two of the 4 cores are at 85-95% (the othertwo are at 60ish%). Other times the GPU is at 95% while the CPU cores are around 65%. Once in a while (not very often) the game drops FPS and neither the GPU or CPU are past 70%.Is that sometimes the GPU is the limiting component, and other times the CPU is limiting?http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110630161947AAufJoE" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here

Hi The Dc rating on the laptop really means little, the "black" block that you connect between the wall outlet and the laptop converters the power to an more appropriate energy that the laptop needs ...The "Black block" between the wall outlet and the laptop converts your 110/230 V AC(Alternating current) to 19v DC(Direct current) and should come with Amps reading as well ...Clearly the Higher the DC value is the more power the laptop needs ...

Open Question: Laptop has no picture?

Open Question: Laptop has no picture?

when you plug in the LCD make sure you tell it to use the external monitor. this is usually done by holding down the FN key and pressing something like F5. look for the key that has a symbol that should look something like the laptop screen and another screen near it... that tells the laptop to use the external monitor port instead of the LCD screen... they usually act as a toggle between 3 modes; LCD, External monitor, and both. also, if it is powering on at all then the lack of a battery is not the issue. LCD screens can be replaced if that one is bad, but it would likely be at least $150 for the parts and a couple hours for labor unless you know how to do it yourself.http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110630161458AAwbejo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here
