Would like to see the shrine when completed.

To the fellow from Brazil (marmotax?):

You need to be damn certain Crossfire is totally off. You need your Catalyst Application Profiles, preferably each pack since 11.11CAP and later. Temperature up to about 80C is fine, no need to lower your clocks. My 6135dx has A8-3500M @2.2GHz, HD 6750M @stock. Skyrim defaulted to 1366x768, High, 8x AF, 8x AA. No FXAA. Lowest FPS was 23 during intro. Your A4 @2.7GHz+ should be OKAY in Skyrim, but if you get short stutters try DXTORY to limit fps and prevent CPU overrun. Try changing certain advanced options individually, especially shadows or physics. Use the tool from AMD's web site to shut down background applications, something periodically running in background may cause stutters because it can't be shunted to the third or fourth core.

I don't know if your problem is the same as mine. But, whenever i boot into windows with an EXTERNAL monitor, it will black screen once I get past the boot screen. This problem started with 12.6 and I solved it by unplugging the external monitor every time I boot and plugging it back in once i get to the welcome screen.

If it black screen during installation of catalyst, close all programs and let it install without any interference. Modded bios and overclock may also cause black screen so see if your computer still have problems on vanilla settings. If you have prob. isntalling catalyst everytime, it seems to be a hardware cause.

same problem with boot, so don't worry. In fixed mode, if I do extended , half of the screen for extended screen will get cut off. 12.7b that it

Yeah I couldn't get 12.6 not to black screen me no matter what. But 12.7b works just fine. I always feel like it's a game a Russian Roulette when I try to upgrade my video drives on this laptop. lol

First off (long time following this thread, but finally registered to join in)

my dv6-6135dx feels exactly the same way some times. I make backups of all my files/software, and do a clean install of the OS, complete uninstall of CCC + Driver Fusion (formerly driver sweeper) just to avoid the pain of having to deal with all the stupidity pressing the update button brings me.

Also, would anyone mind sending me a copy of their k10stat undervolt settings? I'd just like to compare them to my own. My Oclock's just right, sitting on 2.45 with practically stock temps/voltages, but I can't get my Undervolt to stop BSOD'ing, I'm probably doing something wrong.

[smileyface101]

Sure here you go.



SIGN* still 73C while playing MC

EDIT: Been Using for about 6 months now with no BSOD.

20/3/1200/0.8375
16/4/0800/0.7000

All voltages bumped up 0.0125 from initial results, this totally cured a minor instability at "cold" temps.

Whats yours guys Overclock K10STAT settings?

[hypertek]

so I noticed my screen bezel is cracked =(
Thinking of ordering a replacement , think ebay is the cheapest place?
Should be fairly easy to replace right?
