Gameplay seems to work better for some reason.
I really think the vent being partially occluded by the screen causes the system to throttle.
I do not get this issue when the screen is closed out putting to my tv ...
I have been having problems with my XPS L502x  I use to play Saint Rows the Third  on my laptop it use to play perfectly but now after a year I restored my factory setting now when ever i install any of my old games they start off perfectly but during the game it hangs a lot...

View 10 Replies View RelatedI bought a Dell XPS 15 (L502X) laptop 2 weeks ago and have found a lot of trouble with it. It is an i7, 8gb ram with the nvidia 540m video card.
I have tried 3 different games, Left 4 Dead, League of Legends and Dragon Nest, and it crashes/freezes in all 3 games. You are able to run the game in high graphics however, it will crash in a shorter amount of time. If you put it on lowest quality, it still crashes, but it tends to take a longer time.
Things that I have tried.
- Old Drivers, New drivers, drivers from the dell site, drivers from nvidia, beta drivers
- driver sweeper
- changing the gpu to nvidia high performance instead of integrated graphics for the different games and programs
- changing the physx hardware to nvidia 540m
- set battery to high performance
- dell tech support, all they did was change integrated to nvidia high performance and change one setting in hopes of fixing the issue as well as using the system scan for issues, the report came back as passed and no issues.
And today while I was messing around with the settings, I have found a mediocre alternative to this problem. If you simply never use the nvidia GPU then there will never be a crash. You simply do everything with your integrated card. You will be able to run a game like League of Legends on Normal settings at best. However if you do this, it is as if you wasted all your money to get the nvidia 540m that simply does not work.
My problem is that the laptop is getting extremely hot on the left side of keyboard during any games i play, even older games. I literally cannot rest my left hand to use keyboard as it is frying it.
When i initially bought the laptop 4 months ago I could play those games and the case (keyboard area including) would stay perfectly cool. I had even played need for speed hot pursuit new with full graphics and laptop was cool.
There is a definite massive difference in case temperature between initial month or so and recently.
HW monitor program recorded temperatures of 85 degrees max for i5 processor, and around 72-78 degrees on graphics card during game play on a variety of games old and new.
Worth to mention that during other lightweight activities, such as surfing etc the laptop is cool.
My XPS L702x recently slows down when i play video online or play game. My configuration is: i7 2630QM, GT555M, 6 GB.i played video online and played game ( Skyrim, COD, A.V.A online) smoothly. But for 2, 3 months ago, my laptop slows down and spikes very much. When i watch video online, the screen will freeze 3 to 8 seconds but the sound is still playing. And all games that have run smoothly before, now they lagged too much, for example in Skyrim, when i start a conversation with a NPC, the game will freezes 2,3 seconds, and in the combat it freezes everytime when there's a sound is played (i.e screams, sound of sword slashing, footstep).
I have Microsoft Security Ess, no Semantec, Kaspersky, Norton ... And i have re-installed the Win 7 ultimate, but nothing is fixed, i've updated all my drivers, BIOS, Graphic card, sound card, wifi.i can't do anything with my laptop now, even opening Google Chrome is not easy. I'm really stressed.My battery is broken, i use my laptop on AC adapter only, perhaps this is the cause but i don't think so. Because i have a HP Pavillion and the battery is out too, but the HP is not slowing down.

Can increase anything on my laptop to play this game faster?
I read a while ago on here some posts about some copper mod because the chip had some flaws about cooling or something
If I play a game such as Left 4 Dead, will I run any risks of damaging the video card or motherboard?
I purchased the laptop mid october from Dell.
I noticed there were no vids of this thing in action so i decided to record a few vids with FRAPS and put them on Youtube ......
View 4 Replies View Relateda couple of months ago my brother bought a big HDTV to use as a TV and a monitor. To me it didn't look good at all, it's hard to describe but it just didn't look proper. Since then we recently got one for the living room too, and I have to say I'm very disappointed. It looks the same as my brothers, kind of fuzzy, like the FPS isn't as good, and rather pixelly :S and this is when watching TV. Our old school TV looked 10 times better. Also, when hooked up to my M1710 it looks absolutely horrible, even at 1900 res.

I have been conecting my Studio 15 laptop to my 720p HDTV for months. Some days it works fine, most days it doesn't. When I hook up the hdmi, the screen will appear on the HDTV, several seconds go by, both screens go blank and then the picture is back on the laptop.
I have tried starting the computer with the HDMI already hooked up and the TV at the correct input. I havetried adjusting the resolution on the laptop to match the TV resolution.
I have a Dell Inspiron E1705 with the WUXGA screen. I also have this adapter.
has an HD Cable box, but no HDTV. Is it possible for me to hook up my laptop to her cable box using this adapter so I can watch programming in HD? Im sure I cant because the HD signal is different, correct? If I cant use this adapter, is there another adapter that will allow me to do this?
I had some movies on my XPS 1530, so I decided to connect it up to my parents Samsung 37 inch HDTV while I was home for Thanksgiving. This would be the first time I have every used the HDMI output jack on my 1530 and I have noticed some strange things. First, when I connected the HDMI cable my computer it detected the HDTV but every time I try to switch to it, either by FN+F8 or in the nvidia control panel, it reverted back to the notebook screen. The only way I could get it to work was by rebooting the machine with the HDMI cable plugged in. After it reboots, I can then change to the HDTV no problem.
So why would I need a reboot to get it to work?
Second, after I finally get connected the only resolution that seems to work is 1280x720(720P). If I try to go any higher the picture on the HDTV will flicker terribly. I have connected my 1530 to other displays using the VGA connector and have gotten higher resolutions before, so what's the deal with the HDMI connector?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a studio xps 16 with the Radeon 4670. When I connect my laptop to my 37 inch HDTV via HDMI, the image does not fill up the TV screen. Is there any way I can adjust the resolution?
Also I have downloaded a couple of 1080p movies, but again they do not fill up the TV's screen, and don't look as stunning.
I don't understand why it wouldn't fill up the TV since if you burn the movie onto a blu-ray disk or dvd, it would look stunning on the HDTV.
I can't seem to get the .TS files to play properly with the latest K-LITE codec pack and whichever player. Even VLC player does not display it correctly: video is either choppy/jerky or sound crackles/etc.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a FW490 laptop with a BluRay player. I would really like to watch blurays on my HDTV, however, there are two problems. I connect via HDMI cable, and the screen is does not go full screen. The laptop recognizes that the TV is 720p and it changes the resolution automatically, but there are black bars on the side as well as above and below what is displayed on the TV. The second problem is that the audio sounds awful. I turn on the 5.1 surround I have attached to the TV, but it still sounds horrible ie. the sound effects and music are much louder than the dialogue of any show I am watching.
I have this TV:[url]
Here's a rough sketch as to what it looks like.
I think it is a problem with the Computer, but I'm not sure.
I've been watching some HD movies that I downloaded on my laptop, and I've been watching them on my HDTV that is connected to my laptop via a VGA cable. Everything is fine with connecting it, settings are all right, but when I watch HD movies, about every 10 minutes it freezes up (the movie, that is) and I have ti close my VLC player and restart it.
I do not have this problem when I watch regular format (not HD movies) on my TV when connected to my laptop, but only when watching HD movies. Does this have to do with the type of connection? Will if work if I buy an HDMI wire and connect that to my laptop instead of using VGA?
So, I'm sitting here on my lappy, in front of my new 37" Sharp Aquos LCD HDTV....
And, now I've finally decided I'd like to try hooking up my 1530 to the TV.
So, has anyone done this with their 1530, and what have the results been? I'm sure this very simple!
i vûconnected my laptop via HDMI cable to my LCD TV. The video is fine, but the sound comes only through my pc. I read on this and other forums that i should set the HDMI audio output device to default in the audio options, but it's not active to me.

I have a DVI to HDMI cable that covers video and it works fine but so far that makes it work like a really REALLY big monitor. Since DVI doesn't output sound what do I use to get the sound to output to the tv as well?
Does this work?

I notice in one of the reviews one person states they used this to connect their MBP to their HDTV, I was just wondering if it would work for my model as well?

I've tried updating/reinstalling the audio drivers from HP's website, but it doesn't work. I've also tried going to the control panel and changing the playback device, but the HDMI audio device icon no longer appears in the playback devices dialogue box. The only playback devices are Speakers and Dual Headphones, Independent Dual Headphones, and SPDIF (Digital Out Via HP Dock.)

Why is the HDMI device not shown in the playback dialogue box?
I have tried two HDMI cables for 3 year old HP Pavilion g6 to connect with HDTV. Both cause the HP to overheat and shutdown. It worked a year ago but former cable broke. I have dusted by blower underneath. I was trying to watch free movie on HULU. Does not overheat when using otherwise.

On my screen, all that displays is some random flickering colors. Ive tried changing the resolutions and various settings in the NVIDIA control panel, but still no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try? I figure HDMI should be pretty much plug and play. The TV is 720p and Ive tried resolutions from 1280x720 to 800x600. I dont really have any experience with HDMI to be honest.
There are some custom settings in the NVIDIA control panel, but I am not too familiar with these settings:
