3820TG Owner's Lounge - Part Two

Thanks for the reply, what fps were you getting if I may ask?

IIRC: Was around 60 in the quieter areas and around 30ish in the busiest sections of the beta. Slowed down especially near the end of the beta when I was fighting the final boss who kept spawning all of his minions.

This is all going off memory from the beta weekend so I could be off somewhat.

I have another way to display the hidden menu on the amd driver ..
and it is more efficient without mod the original driver ..

by changing the registry on amd .. (I've tried and works on AMD Radeon 6550M Acer 3820TG)

may be different on your notebook can change :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000]

change 0000 to 0001

apply reg after restart or log off your Notebook ..

What does this hidden menu do? And where do I find it, once I've applied the tweak?

you can show several features without mod the original AMD driver..

increase in several 3D Application Settings :
================================

anti-aliasing :

+ Temporal anti-aliasing
+ Morphological filtering
+ set level anti-aliasing (2x)(2xEQ)(4x)(4xEQ)(8x)(8xEQ)

Aniso Filtering :

+ High Quality AF

Catalyst A.I. :

+ Texture Filtering Quality (Performance)(Quality)(High Quality)
+ Enable Surface Format Optimization

Adaptive Anti-Aliasing :

+ Enable Adaptive Anti-Aliasing (Smooth)(Sharp)

Direct3D Settings :

+ Enable geometry instancing

The original CCC AMD driver not show ..

Is this needed if running Leshcat's drivers? Do I just run the attached .reg file?

no, if the above menu is available ..

reg file only for the original or beta driver..
and only serves more fully display the menu..

Hi guys,

Got a slight problem with my 3820TG-6829 (Core i5 480M, Radeon HD 6550, 4GB RAM, 500 GB HDD).

Computer is extremely slow, especially on boot up, and core temps are running extremely hot at 80+ degrees at times and almost always above 55 degrees. I'll probably take it apart and clean and reapply new thermal grease but I also want to run a memtest to make sure some of the random restarts and BSOD I'm getting aren't RAM related.

Problem is that memtest 4.2 and 4.1 both reboot the computer immediately after it loads from USB. A problem like this is reported in the first thread but no answer came from it.

Any ideas from the experts?

Hi Guys.

I've recently upgraded my 3820TG (ATI HD5470 version (3820TG-354G32nks)) from a i3-350M to a i5-540M. Right after the change it started to give BSOD (code 7f).
It's not temperature as it doen't pass the 60ºC.
The BSOD happens randomly when i'm playing a game and even when i'm googling.
I've already did a memcheck and it didn't detected any errors.
I've made several tests with Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool (64-bit) (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...&DwnldID=19792) and everything is OK.
I've made several Benchmark tests with SuperPI, futuremark software, etc... and the results were normal.

Another thing I noticed is that this BSOD only happens in 64bit windows. I've tryed to install the 32bits and this didn't happened.

This is what i got when using BSODViewer:





I'm not sure if it's a defect from the CPU or not and i don't know what to do next to have sure.


Could Someone help me?

EDIT: I also got this from the Event Viewer witch i think is related to the BSOD:

hey folks.

I'm currently using the 3820tg with the i5-480M & ATI 6550M.

not sure if anyone's got the same problem but i just got diablo 3 and was playing it for abt 15 minutes and then my 3820tg suddenly shuts off. i'm guessin its due to overheating. anyone got the same problem? i am already placing it above the surface its on to improve air flow but its still shutting down every 15 minutes of gameplay or so.

I've played crysis 2 and BF2 on this bad boy and everything was fine until today. I got it last January. Could this mean that i need to get a new notebook or is there a way to fix this problem?

thanks for reading!

First of all measure the temps- no need for guessing.
Also make sure you use canned-air (gas-duster) once a month or so to stop dust from accumulating in the radiator.
