Aspire 7720G major upgrade

[gbrown69]

thanx netroller, tried but no go.... returned to seller as D.O.A.

When i installed it, i started the laptop and instantly the cpu became very hot (when i touch the heatseak) hot to the point you can'T touch it with bare finger. when i put my working t6500, it come barely warm to the touch so i think that cpu has a short circuit somewhere.

also seller dont test them before ship they only do (visual inspection)

bought another one that was fully tested before ship.

hope to see it soon

Hi there!

I bought a used 9600m gt from ebay, to replace my old faulty 8400m gs. The seller declared that the gpu was from a "Zepto Mythos A15" laptop but was tested and run O.K. with "Acer 6935GT".
I installed the card and tested a variety of drivers from laptopvideo2go (for vista 32bit), but had black screen after windows had loaded.
Then i thought to disable AERO and the black screens stopped appearing. The problem is that it seems that the card can't perform the 3d tasks, moving around any window and minimizing-maximizing looks like stuttering.
Can anybody help me?

are you stuck in windows vga mode??

How can I tell? In Device Manager the card is written as "9600m gt".

I have the same issue on my 7720g. My stock 9500m gs is burned so i got a 9600m gt (1024 ddr2). I have latest bios but it seems that the device manager sees it as "vga adapter"..

mmmm! maybe a faulty card... dunno what to tell you!

if it sees it as a 9600m gt it supposed to process 3d correctly.

had the same problem and have to add the card vendors id in the inf file manually to have it detected correctly...

see my other post there:

after adding your vendors id , it will work normally...

I found working drivers @acer for 6935. I used VGA_NVidia_v.7.15.11.7927 and 3d works very well, I even played Mass Effect 3!
The problem is that it gets really hot @85C and I'm afraid it will get damaged. I have applied Arctic Ceramique.

Are you sure that your heat seak is sitting very well on your gpu? Cause after replacing my faulty 8400m gs for an 9600m gt, one of the component of the card interferred with my heat sink and had to cut a small part of the heat sink to get it to sit perfectly on the gpu.
