Do I edit the TRL / TPL / C7 / DTS / CLR?

I will recommend checking cmod or chipmod to 100% whichever your cpu uses for throttle. lock multiplier at turbo for benches. Baseclock for increasing your speed.

Baselock? Can't find that anywhere

Hey guys,

I completely forgot how to use ThrottleStop. What settings do I need to maximize my 2630QM's overclocking performance?

If that's the case then, take the drive out, install it on the other notebook, format it and then put it back.

Format it with Windows 7 Installation on another PC and then put it back into the dv6z?

Go into BIOS and check if you are on AHCI or IDE mode, try to change it and see if it will detect your HDD. One more thing, try not to reboot but to completely shut down and then power on again.

Tried that. HP is sooo limited. You can't do anything. The only things you can do is literally change the boot options / time / and diagnostics ... nothing else.

This is really only a free fall protection, shouldn't affect reinstalling Windows. Go to the BIOS and load the default settings, then reboot and try installing again.

it is at default settings. I never changed anything in there. HDD isn't detected in the bios either (please note it boots into windows fine and restores to factory settings fine) This is the default HDD that came with HP

Hey guys,

I just received my dv6z-6100 (LK237AV) today and I wanted to do a fresh install of windows 7 but it cannot find the HDD to install windows 7 on. It asks for drivers and cannot detect any HDD to install windows 7 on. What's the problem?

P.S I tried the same HDD on another desktop and HP laptop and use the same win7 disk and it can detect it just fine...

would "HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection" have anything to do with it? Let's say someone stole the laptop and tries to install fresh win7 onto it so this is how it prevents them? O.o or is it just for free fall protection etc.?

Was this a good deal? Please note I called in to "cancel" and they offered and extra $75 to keep the system.

Thanks for all the replies guys, sorry for the bump for such an old thread but I have this bookmarked

So I got a buyer for my m14x for 1300 USD

I need help to pick a final decision on which gaming laptop to get. The lower the price the better! I'm still currently looking at my original post. 939 hmm

Do you thing M14X will be able to handle it?

I know it will. Blizzard likes to make games that are computer specs friendly. So it will run great. I hope that I will get into the beta soon to tell you guys about it and post more videos. I did make 35 bnet account and opt in for beta.

P.S sorry for inactivity. I'm back

Well you also lose:

• AW styling
  
• Dell warranty service
  
• Subwoofer
  
• Optional WiHD transmitter
  

1080p on a 14" IMO is too high of a resolution but that's a personal choice.

15.6" screen I'm more for the money tho. If I can get at least 1500 I will sell asap

And the subwoofer is really meh ;/

As Configured: $ 939.00

3% "No Fees" Cash Discount: -$ 28.17

3% Cash Discounted Price: $ 910.83

I bought my M14X for 850 + tax - I can sell this baby easily for 1200 and buy sager for 910. This way I gain some profit and a 1080p screen. The only thing I lose is the backlit alienfx light ;/ - should I do it? It's pretty much same specs except smaller HDD but I will replace that with my SSD anyways.

Gains:

1080p Screen

2GB GT 555M (from 1.5GB M14X)

The controller for the optic port is Sata1. Regardless of caddy you purchase it will run at Sata 1 speed. You can put your 500gb 7200 rpm on this port and then put your high speed SSD on the primary controller port. Best Wishes, StevenX

So there is something wrong with my caddy or what because it really slow - 1mb/sec

When did you order? I ordered back in late April ... can I still call in?

It's not worth it. Memory speed only affect performance slightly.

Yeah everything's default now because I reset CMOS slot 3 and 4 working. No dual channel. Dammit

Closest to the CPU. WHITE (1) - BLACK (2) - WHITE (3) - BLACK (4)

I am now using 3 and 4 ... they are NOT in dual channel. I booted into windows with 3 and 4- But with 1 and 3 no go into windows.

Ok I just tried it with the first stick. Now it's on. But we still have a problem. When I tried the first stick in the first 2 slots it did not show anything on the screen. So does that mean the mobo is busted with the first 2 slots?

Edit:

Ok wtf I got into the bios and saw that the CPU got to 112C before it shut down. CPU Cooler failing? Why? The only thing I changed was zip tying it to the CPU Power cable.

Edit 2:

WTF! After quickly setting up the bios (boot priorities etc.) and saving now the CPU cooler is working (at 37C)...

Hey guys,

I upgraded to the Corsair H50 cooler and now nothing is showing up on screen. At first after changing it everything boots up fine and loaded into windows but the next day nothing is showing up on screen. I'm pretty sure everything is plugged in correctly. I've tried resetting CMOS. Changing the RAM slots made it boot into windows but when I shut it down and tried turning it on again it will not.

I'm using:

XFX 680i LT mobo

Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz G0

GTS 250 512MB XFX

SLI OCZ RAM 4 (2x2) GB PC6400

750watts OCZ

Please help

Not gonna happen.

Hot or Not at least?

BTW how do you enable "quoted by" in notifications in vB?

I don't think you whitelist it correctly. I get really high FPS on Ultra

pics of sister? O.o

What file do I have to add because I pretty much added everything and it's not loading OPTIMUS for me.
