I regret buying the 7805U FX

[TANWare]

try the memory stick solution to be sure the memory is not of issue. also try without the keyboard playing too. Most likely it is not an issue but eliminate it. The FX series is known to have some issues with video interupt and USB devices but this is more prevelant in the P79xx series.

There is always the possibility the broken keyboard is throwing bad signals too, albeit again unlikely it still is something to eliminate. What is broken on the keyboard?

Edit; Although I have to say buying a known broken machine was not the best of ideas, unless it broke on you and then what happened.................

Should have got the Compal made Gateway nv78 instead and upgraded it to the 5870.

The keyboard doesn't respond even though in windows it says it's working, so it's probably a hardware problem.

I've been getting those video driver has stopped responding problems again since I set power mizer to adaptive.

I guess I do need to try the andros fix as a last resort.

Hi!
Where can I found some downloadable BIOS for my 7805u? I had .17 bios "pulsating", and this .23 keeps my gpu hot. I can't find any other bios that could be downloaded. Please help me! Thanks!

Well, this thing is predictable atleast. I know now I can't play star trek legacy for more then EXACTLY 20 minutes. I timed it. It will crash exactly twenty minutes into playing it. Oblivion exactly 5 minutes. Fallout 3, plays forever unless I go near the Robco building, crashes almost every time. Halo CE 10 minutes and crash.

Never crashed once playing saints row three, new vegas, or skyrim. Max Payne 2: Start to finish in one sitting system never black screen crashed. San Andreas occasionally crashes.

So, the GPU must not be a lost cause. I will try Andros' fix, but I can't see it having any effect since I've tried everything to get this thing to work properly.

Before I try the andors fix, would forcibly underclocking the GPU help this problem?

Sell the computer on Craigslist, and don't buy used computers again.

Oblivion and Halo CE have known issues with nVidia 9xxx, do not use these as standards for troubleshooting the GPU, You do not seem to get this no matter how many times I state it. Only use known programs that no one else with your GPU has issues with.
