Well, for the past 4 days I haven't been able to play any game because of this problem. If I load up UT2004 or Half Life 2 it will glitch around like nothing else. Like it's a 2 sec lag in the entrance screen of UT. So at first I thought Speedsteip was doing it's thing but I used CPUMSR to force 16*100 and it still glitched. So then I figured it was just UT but I've tried three games and given the fact that it just started 4 days ago it can't be three buggy games in a row.
So this morning I took my lappy apart to replace the TIM on the vidcard but I found out that they use a huge foam block in place of TIM and so if I just removed the foam I would need to fill in the space. DId a search online and apparently you can use a copper shim to fill in that space but I want to know if anyone has has this problem as well? I replaced the TIM under the cpu which I would recommmend to anyone because they have this nasty black wax pad under there that didnt' look like it was doing anything at all. I havent' been able to get new temps because I had to leave for work and when I plugged the lappie in the green LED"S didn't come on so I'm going to take it apart again to make sure everything is good.
But has anyone had this problem before?
