Heres a funny question.

Why is it say... you just reset your bios and installed / reinstalled windows. then you go to update but notice your clock is wrong and is a few years back so you use there time sync system....

Why does it then say your Windows is not genuine (if you haddnt activated it before hand) its like if anything ive made it so it would go past its 30 day grace / demo period so its not like im clocking back to get more time outta it :lol

Standby was disabled in my BIOS for no reason, and it was previously enabled.

Edit: add on top that HP didnt design the cooler well too dust has a nice place to hide where theres like a dead spot in the airflow in a corner of the cooler to an already hot laptop adding that makes em time bombs really to fail

gotcha, I thought you were modding a desktop, but since it's a laptop, that makes more sense. HP hasn't impressed me with my last couple laptops. The last one won't even turn on anymore because the components probably got fried due to inefficient heating, and my current one, even with external fans get super hot.

I'm staying away from HP when I upgrade, that's for sure.

I Got this one here for £30 / $46 from a friend with only 1 easy to sort fault, it needed a new fan :) so im not complaining its decent enough for most things, gaming is weak but laptops aint normally made for that... that been said it can handle some Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead and such so its not all bad :)

Think I should worry about HP laptops with integrated Intel cards? I was going to grab a Toshiba laptop on sale but, issues with Paypal made me miss it.

Unless you pay through the nose for a 'gaming laptop', you aren't going to be playing really intensive stuff on one. You're better off spending half the money on a more powerful desktop :P.

reminds me of when a triple core phenom (2.3ghz I think) laptop with an ati was on sale for $300 with free shipping I had to wait to use a credit card and missed it I was kinda pissed.

I know I would have been upset. As long as I can get myself a 2ghz+ dual core and a hard drive over 100GB, I'm good.

the one I did buy isn't all that bad just wish I would have gotten the model with intel HD instead of gma but for $300 I can't really complain it does everything I need it too.

You can't expect much out of a laptop for playing games anyway.

I don't think I've ever finished a game when I emulate, so I rarely use them.

I am also more than guilty of this.

Last time I finished a game on an emulator was Breath of Fire III like 3 or 4 years ago.

I don't remember the last time I finished something on an emulator. It's funny though, since I finish PC games much faster than console games.

I usually burn my self out by the end of a video game, so maybe I feel more motivated to finish a game that I've bought rather than one that I didn't.

I have no idea, but that usually ends with me making it to the endgame, saving and quitting (usually before the final battle), and then I just end up deleting it like a month later.

Good luck with the high score. Every time I've ever gotten to anything high the browser has been closed or the computer shut down.

I have to jump the band-wagon too, and admit that I haven't finished an emulated game on PC in ages. Maybe because of the huge backlog I've got, so I play the actual console. I have to say there's a bit of contradiction,because I did finish a few emulated games on my mobile. :wacko:

That never happens to me with PC games if I like the game.

You can leave the browser up, and even continue offline, the score is only submitted when you click end. You need an account to submit any scores on Homokaasu though.
