What do you want to be able to do with your laptop? That will help us help you. And being one of those who purchased a HP DV6000 a few years ago for my daughter and eventually failing like all others the issue with this series (and their 9000 series) was the Nvidia G34 chipsets. The heat...

Hi jackwebb87, though this isn't exactly what you are asking for this might help: Welcome to The Computer Graphics Society

AMD will be releasing new cpus in June and they look very promising and certainly not like their old offerings. I suggest looking at the Notebookreview.com forums as they have a forum for every major brand and some for the not-so-major brands. Their "What Notebook Should I Buy" forum would be...

You can buy Asus laptops for gaming but it will cost you.

Nothing in the Zip file stood out except it could not find an active antivirus on your system. Do you have an antivirus installed? If I could read your five latest minidump files perhaps I could find a cause but I don't know if these forums allow that option.

My bad; didn't see the GTX 460 in your specs. Try the following... 1. Download Driver Sweeper free version to your desktop screen and install. 2. Download the latest diver(s) for your video card but don't install them. 3. Uninstall your video card drivers and reboot your PC into Safe Mode...

Are these BSODs occuring when only online? What error codes are shown and do they cite any drivers in particular?

Your error code 0x116: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR indicates that an attempt to reset the display driver and recover from a timeout failed. We take it you built this system? If so, go to Asus' website and find their webpage for your exact model. Then update the latest offerings that they have for both...

It will be challenging but they are using the Wii in convolescent homes for the very reasons you speak of concerning your father. And many of those people are in their 70s, 80s, and even some 90s. It gets them moving again, strengthening and improving coordination. And as they improve...

Re: URGENT: Event 51 (paging), 50 (write failed) and 12 (drive dissapeared) on my DAW It depends on the Barracuda. Seagate's 11 series were horrible. But their 12 series are fine. I'm running two Seagate 8 series for 4+ years without an issue. I am concerned that more is going on in your...

Thanks.

Does Intel have the same policy?

Re: URGENT: Event 51 (paging), 50 (write failed) and 12 (drive dissapeared) on my DAW What concerns me is that the issue may very well be a failing harddrive. I would back up everything IMMEDIATELY. What make is your harddrive, i.e. Western Digital, Seagate, etc.?

Yes, seems that the Asus models with the i3 processor are getting good reviews. Asus and Samsung have plesantly suprised me. What do you guys think of the latest AMD mobile cpus? They are much better than the previous offerings but they don't have the L3 cache. But would she need the L3 cache?

Yes, I have looked into Asus and Toshiba as well. I realize that basically all laptop manufactures make low end through high end offerings and all make good ones and have duds as well. I will be buying within the next 6 weeks but when it comes to laptops I am a little out of my league though...
