tried the new bios update?

Yeah, I used the easy software manager to update the BIOS once 2 weeks ago and the NVIDIA driver as well (I don't know how, as the NVIDIA website has only BETA Drivers till date)..
What bios version are you using?

Do you know how to configure the V-sync, as it is working in PES 2013 DEMO, where I get a constant 60 FPS but not in FIFA 12 where FPS sometimes get as high as 200 and then as low as 10.
I could not find any option of V-sync in the NVIDIA control panel..

And what should I do as this problem is persisting?? Should I contact Samsung, and if I do what should I complain about? Throttling??

And as I said when I game I always use HIGH PERFORMANCE power mode (or TURBO mode as in Fan speed settings), where the maximum CPU usage is set to 99% when connected to ac power supply and 90% when on battery (when I game on battery the problem reduces considerably) and though I don't use a cooling pad I make sure that the laptop is properly ventilated by keeping 2 books in the bottom when I game on it (the ambient temperature of my room is below 30*C on most occasions)... Is this due to the low powered PSU of just 90W??

Please guys, help!!

:cry:

Right off the assembly line
Hey, I had my lappy for a couple months and where I live, it's really dusty around here (gotta love the construction). I've been looking around the net and I haven't found a single site that helps me take apart the laptop. I just wanna do maintenance on the fans and all. Nothin special. Does anyone know a site that does or can tell me? Thanks a bunch!

Hi Everybody,

Though I bought S02 (Ci7) on last Wednesday, I unpacked just an hour ago.
Here is my experience.

1. As soon as I switched on and seen desktop after windows booted up, a bright (1mm diameter) spot appeared. Called Samsung at 180030008282 and registered a compliant. They said their technical team will contact within 2 hours.

2. After using HP Elitebook 8530w, the keys on keyboard of 550p appeared scattered especially Delete and End. The arrow keys are very small. This is because, they tried to provide separate Number pad.
Space bar is making sound like small parrot whispering.

3. I deeply got disappointed when I came to know the non-availability of horizontal as well as vertical scrolling on touch pad.
4. Touch pad buttons are not quiet. Sounding tick... tick ...
5. Sound is comaparatively high with reasonable quality in laptop class.

Going to replace HDD with SSD Corsair Force 3 120GB.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,
As I've mentioned in my previous message there is a bright spot on right hand side of the screen.
White Spot on Screen.jpg
Can anybody answer my queries:

1. Will it become bigger over a time or will remain as it is ?
2. If it will not become bigger over a time, I can manage with it atleast for an year and then think about replacement of the panel.
3. I'm not feeling comfortable to allow technician to disassemble this display panel. Because, as this is a new model, they may not fit it again properly.
Pl. advise.

v-sync should be in advanced settings in game or else u can force it by getting into nvidia ctrl panel n then manage 3d setts...there should be lot of configurable opts under selection menu.......

what r the max temps u getting? if possible set cpu to 70% n try.....ur fid should be 23 when u limit cpu to 99 n 16-18 when u limit it to 70%.....

well warlier i used to have gpu 88c cpu 89c then throttling occured and that was every 10min . once there was no throttling and cpu went to 95c so its a lot of difference
Click to expand...
throttling occurs to prevent overheating...so if u stop it then temps will rise....in my case it was 101C ... :shock:
