So I have an HP Elitebook 8570W that I recently upgraded from the Quadro K1000M to an AMD Firepro M4000 and since then the fan has been stuck at max speed. Not sure what I did wrong but since I upgraded it and put in that Firepro the fan will do its initial few spins then stop like it use to and...

I would love to put in a gaming card but as I've read on numerous HP forum posts, only three MXM graphics cards, The Quadro K1000M, K2000M, and the Firepro M4000 are supported and work in the HP laptop without bois hacking or otherwise. I just need help deciding which card would give me the...

So finally got my HP Elitebook Workstation in and being I bought the lowest cost one I could find it came with the lowest end MXM Quadro graphics. Now there's only 2 other officially supported MXM cards made for this machine so Im just going to stick with either of those two for an upgrade. Im...

Alright prepare for some bad ideas! So Im gettin ready for college, obviously need a laptop, but I also want to be able to game on it. Given my VERY limited budget of a whopping $250 Im obviously going used. Im not looking for anything high powered, hell a 2nd gen i5 would be more than enough...

Right still new at this. Is there a thread in how to post photos?

Recently got an older toshiba satelite laptop with a pentium in it from a friend. Decided to tear it apart to see what I can do with it and I found this small white plug next to the ram. Ive googled it multiple times with no results and the manual gave no hints to it. It may be a test plug? Any...
