Dell Studio 1557

[OneCool]

I haven't gotten any crashes since I updated my ati driver (8.683.2.0)...but VERY rarely (only happened a couple times in the last 2 weeks), when I unplug/replug the a/c adapter in the middle of a video, the computer will just....shut off. Literally just click off.

Anyone else experiencing this? Granted, I prefer this over the usual BSoD/freezing and twitching, but that isn't saying much!

here try the 10.3's out

10.3 Catalyst beta leaked!


They work great.No need to Mod

Kizwan, I think my machine froze before a couple of times previously even at HD 720p. Anyway, tried that video and it played fine

I have the full HD 1080 WLED and it's the full screen 1080 videos that were mainly my problem-they all play perfectly now. I just played the one you suggested as a test specially for you! :-)

I can report my system has not crashed on ati 10.1 driver. I've also tried the kizvan video (my code the girl was boring), it played fine along with other HD.

I think the flash player 10.1 beta that fixed the problem. Because prior updating the flash player, it still crashed occasionally if watching (youtube) 1080p video in full screen even after updating to 10.2 drivers. Once the drivers recovered, I can resume watching the same video without any problem (same thing happen with original driver).

P/S: I know 10.3 beta has leaked out. Just can't let this go.

The Flash Player 10.1 beta helps but it is NOT the solution. I updated to this and was still having problems. Only when I updated drivers did my problems melt away...

So far so good after 10.3 Only one small problem...the screen doesn't seem to turn off when the lid is closed.

Scratch that.. Now after a re-boot it does turn off.
These quirky things really bug me about this machine...

Regarding the latest Flash player 10.1 beta 2
Sorry if this is a dumb question but as they are listed on the site as separate downloads do I need to install both the plug in and active-x download options.
Also regarding the 10.3 beta video card drivers.
Do these install without having to use the mobility Modder program.

[OneCool]

I believe you need to install the activex plug-in if you use IE as your browser.

No modding is required for the beta 10.3 ati driver
