Good for you Yankeecentury !

How much paste? Did you clean the hsf and cpu with TIM clean? Your pc is shutting itself down to protect against damage; Remedial action requires re opening case.

The batteries last 18 months, the power bricks a little longer. Batteries are hard to get after 3 years. The cpu fan will be knackered at this point but you wont know until the mainboard is crisped. When it fails you will be stuck with it. Buy it, if you want to lose a friend; I have seen this...

This is a 24 to 30 month old laptop. Any Laptop's mean time to failure is 48 months. I wouldnt pay more than $200, because you will be left nursing a grudge with a pal.

Its FUBAR . If you are lucky, you might be able to change the Eprom chip on the motherboard, but other than that its finished . New motherboard required. Sorry Pal.

They keep the boosts for when there is competition. Expect to keep seeing power and graphics improvements for laptops etc in the meantime/until no one needs a desktop anymore.

It could be the display cable, which is obviously a thin connector on the rear of the display panel. It could also be the backlight,but you would see a picture if you shone a torch on the screen. It is reasonably easy to take it apart and look;a how to video on you tube is your best bet.

This person masterjun should get a girlfriend or something. Join a library perhaps. I cant think of anything less interesting or pointless than hacking into 20 year old games,

Wasnt this covered earlier?

Put the drive onto the SATA (number2) port of your new computer. It will show up as drive D, or E, and you should be able to acess everything.

Unfortunately, if you are looking for basic gaming you need the new 4600 hd haswell, or you should buy an amd laptop witha good hdgraphics cpu.

Use a usb keyboard and mouse, or send the item back.

And I dont know if the quadro card even plays games, be careful with that one.

Obviously, there probably isnt even 5 games out that need ssd yet.

The only things you should put on an ssd are 1) your operating system {call it 12 gig} and 2) any game that needs extremely fast draw access, like battlefield 4. {so that it doesnt pause much when you enter new areas). Call it another 12 gig a game. Anything else can sit on the hdd, so lose...
