1600 x 900 isn't a standard resolution. the 4400 doesn't nativly support it. You will need to enable custom resolutions and set it up yourself. http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005540.html

Clean the vents out. It shouldn't be running that hot.

A PS3/PS4 and a lot of cable boxes include an optical out but the TV does not. Adapters are not really possible without some expensive electronics to encode the multiple audio outputs into an optical output.

The cable isn't useless, it is required for broadcasting the frame refresh signals over to the glasses for syncing purposes. If the monitor doesn't support it, it doesn't support it. There are work arounds by identifying your panel and finding a matching monitor that does support it. Then...

Move somewhere cold?

Oh, and your copy of windows will no longer be valid after as too many components will have changed. Other than that, do it somewhere clean, get some thermal compound, clean the heat sinks. Get a couple of big pieces of paper, lay them over the laptop and mark where the screws come from, then...

Make sure you are getting exactly the right one, there are many g62 variants and they are not compatible. Look at your current mobos part number, should be printed on it and search for that.

Not worth the risk in laptops. They have poor cooling anyway. Cook a desktop component which has good cooling and you can replace it. Cook a laptop component, bye bye laptop.

Not sure there is one. Try opening it it with other document readers, but if word can't open it there isn't much hope.

If you have nothing to lose and you are certain, go for it. But you will need to re-attach the three wires inside (4 if it uses a two core cable) Note that headphone cables are notoriously difficult to solder due to the laminated conductors.

I have found that when the earth connection is not connected properly on headphones you lose a lot of the Treble but not the bass. Compare what you are hearing with another set of headphones and device and pull the plug out very slowly and listen. The earth disconnects first and it should...

The default settings in that setup are to use the dedicated GPU and not use the GCN part of the APU and let the CPU part of the APU run faster and make more heat. The above is the most stable setup. Enabling Dual Graphics turns on the GCN part of the APU, Using the Crossfire interface doubles...

A note on the RAM You have an APU which shares the 8Gig of system Ram for it's V-Ram You also have one discrete GPU with it's own dedicated ram. (Most likley 1-2Gig) To function in crossfire the APU can only match the RAM of the GPU. So if you have a 1Gig GPU your APU will use 1Gig of system...

It's the "Dual Graphics" setting in Catalyst. It's an unusual setup, so it's no wonder the website can't compare it with system requirements. Either way it's a two mobile GPUs, Don't expect miracles. But it should be able to play everything there is at 720 on Low settings, so don't worry about...

Not all Games support crossfire well. I have this setup. Games that like crossfire see their performance double. Games that don't see it crippled
