Aspire 7720G major upgrade

[kojack]

I doubt it's a software problem, but you can always try a clean Windows install just to be sure. You said it was a used card, maybe that's the problem from the start.

I agree. Hardware problem for sure.

Hi All,
Just wanted to say what a great and informative (and polite!) forum this is. The help available is amazing. I stumbled across this by accident while I was working at the Olympic Park (had to drop that in!) after the 8400M board in my 7720G died. I didn't even know it was replacable until an Acer technician here confirmed it for me. I bought a re-con board on e-bay and installed it then discovered it was a 9300M with 512MB. After that I read up about replacing the T7300 CPU. I have bought a T9300 which is waiting to be fitted along with a 250GB SSD to replace the original drive. The RAM has already been upgraded to 4GB PC2-6400 and I am sorely tempted by that Black keyboard. Couldn't have even attempted it without all the advice and help here.
Thanks....

Yes, the thread is great. I'm taking my 7720 to work today to make sure the video card can do 1920x1080. If so, its on like donkey Kong. Full upgrade then as I have to replace the fan/cooler. Its gotta come apart anyways. Might as well do the ssd, processor, black keyboard and hi Res LCD. I only have the Intel on board video so I cannot upgrade to the good video card.

If I remember correctly (didn't have the time to check it out) the P models are for entirely different socket and they work at a higher bus.

Hi guys! I'm looking for some advice an maybe a bit of reassurance solving the problems with my laptop.


I've had a 7720G with GeForce 9500mGS for 4 years now and I'm so far very satisfied with it.

Unfortunately, few week ago a problem appeared: I was playing some video game and at one point the game just slowed down and became unplayable. After trying to quit it for several minutes, I gave up and restarted the computer.

At that point I noticed that the screen is refreshing extremely lowly. At first it starts black and later on I can see each line being drawn very slowly on the screen. The rest of the computer seems to work correctly, and after some 45 minutes, I can actually see something that resembles the Windows login screen. Still, everything is working so slowly that the computer is unusable. I suspect that the video card is the problem an the authorized service center for Acer here confirmed the issue (but I'm not sure how much I trust them) and informed me that the model has reached end of life and that they can't obtain parts for it.


So I started looking for available video cards and I'm considering buying VGA Board 512Mb GDDR3 NB9P-GS (VG.9PG06.008). From what I could decode that should be GeForce 9600 GT, which from what I've read here should work fine, right? I'm using 1.45 bios.

Also sometime last year I broke one of the screws holding the GPU heatsink in place. I didn't think too much of it then, since there were no noticeable differences in temperatures, but since I'm changing the video card, I thought I might change the screws too. Unfortunately, I have no idea what that type of screw is called. Can anyone help me with this?

According to the Intel website that processor uses a 1066Mhz FSB and I believe from what I've gleaned in these pages, the 7720G can only use up to a 800Mhz FSB, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong...?

Yes, you are right! Socket is supported but the bus speed is "too high"
