Which SSD did you get and the model number? Mine is Corsair Force Series 3 240 GB, sometimes it gets real hot, I thought it might be because of Indexing, I disabled it but still it gets crazy hot sometimes. Also, if I have a linux distro then then it stays super hot all the time, that's why I...

@dan4u Does your SSD get very hot sometimes? I mean really hot, hotter than processor area? Have you done any tweaks after installing SSD? Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying your 550p's. It's summer time and all the vents are clogged up. I played a game after 5 months and it got 98 Celsius in...

I know, I too had the problem of getting Quick Starter installed because their servers were not working. You can download quick starter from here: Samsung Quick Starter for Windows 8 | Tech Help

Re: Facing problems with linux installation on NP550P5C-S03IN Ok, so since you got Windows 8 PC, they have removed the option to disable UEFI boot. Since I got Windows 7 PC, I have Arch Linux running fine. This link might help a bit: You'll be able to install Linux on most Windows 8 PCs If...

Re: Facing problems with linux installation on NP550P5C-S03IN Did you try disabling UEFI Boot in BIOS?

My mistake, I downloaded desktop version drivers (650) instead of notebook ones (650M). Actually the version I had previously was 310.xx (beta??), I don't know how it got installed, may be windows update/SW Update. Otherwise, I haven't manually fiddled with any drivers since I installed windows...

Hi, a quick question. Anyone running win8 pro 64 bit, which nvidia version are you using? I downloaded 306.97, but when I try to install it, it says not compatible hardware could be found. The reason I am trying to update is because games on steam are crashing with "r6016 not enough space space...

LOL.. do you seriously think by next year march this laptop would be of any value compared to other models available then?

1. No, there isn't any risk since the hardware and design is almost the same. If you can forego BDROM then S03 is the best choice since it comes with win 8 and all drivers (hopefully) installed. But if win 8 doesn't suit you then you may choose S02. 2. I didn't have throttling issues during...

Yes, actually I am getting a 240gb corsair force 3 ssd. So when I install that I will format and put the current one in a casing and use as external drive. But for now, I left everything as it is as I do not want to mess up anything. Anyway I am never going to use samsung recovery as I have my...

Yes, it is working for me. I didn't touch either the boot partition of 100 MB or the driver partition of 22 gb at the end of the drive.

Yeah the drivers on that page are old. Download and install SW Update (*orcaservice.samsungmobile.com/SWUpdate.aspx) which alpha34 mentioned. Check the past few posts for more info. In SW Update don't install IntelliMemory as it hogs the memory.

IntelliMemory available in SW Update on win 8 is causing huge memory usage. As soon as the system starts me usage is 6.2GB/8GB. Not sure what or how it works. Uninstalled it. Did others who installed this on win 8 face similar issue?

Check out AR computers at SP road. Last time (1 month back) he was saying around 49k for S01.

Yes, I now installed all the samsung recommended softwares and drivers through SW Update (*orcaservice.samsungmobile.com/SWUpdate.aspx). It's really nice. But the fn+fan key can now only change the mode to one of the last two modes used, also it doesn't show any text on screen showing...
