It is not recognizing the exe to patch since it is the "ahem" version of SA. Isn't there just a method to scale it so that it fills the whole screen?

The fact is the games you playing right now are quite old and these games (original version) do not come with 16:9 format support. The only proper method is by using these patches.Try Universal Widescreen Patcher. If it doesn't work too.. I suggest you to download full version and use the patch.

To play NFS Carbon in 16:9, follow these steps Read

My CPU and GPU are hitting 80-85*C while gaming. Is this ok? Should this be lower? If I run coolsense on coolest mode while gaming and it drops to about 75*C. Getting a cooling pad soon. But are these temperatures ok while gaming?

Idle temperatures are 50-55*C of both CPU and GPU.

The touch pad ON and OFF button does not working for me. When i tapped two times the backlight of ouch pad not going to RED ( off ) what should i do ? Also the smoothness of my touch pad gone. Now it is hard to scroll using two finger. Is their any hardware problem ?

There is an icon on the top right of the touchpad. Did you double press it quickly? Is this problem from the beginning or started just now?

If its a problem that occurred recently try rolling back the driver.

And yeah its not very easy to scroll with two fingers. Not a hardware problem. And it doesnt bother me because I use a razer naga mouse.

Use Intel GPU when not gaming. Reduces idle temp by around 5C.
Run games on a custom powerplan, where the cpu is set to a maximum of say 90%. Again reduces temp.
85C is not exactly fine, but nothing to be too worried either.

Anyways whats the game?

Where is the option to reduce cpu to 90% in the power plan settings? Actually I think the CPU is getting turbo boosted during games increasing its temperature.

Crysis 2 hardcore settings on native resolution.

Click on the battery icon > Go to power options > choose the plan you want to modify > Change plan settings > change advanced settings > Processor power management.

Change the max value to 90. set the min value to 90 or lower.

Thanks! Tried it and got 68-75*C. But my room is air conditioned right now so how much does that affect the internal temperature?

An air condiditioned room will definitely result in lower temps. Not sure, but probably not by much at high loads, say something like 4-5C i'd guess...

Did you download HP authorised drivers or from AMD site?
Click to expand...

I can't update it from AMD website.. the message appears that the that it can not be downloaded due to incompatible hardware/software on your computer. The version of graphic is not supported (even I chosen the right one)

i was unable to download it from AMD site.....but i downloaded them from hp site and installed properly... i guess the version is xxxx.3000 and bios F.1B.... but still low fps and temps are touching 85c:|

That incompatibility is due to the switchable graphics. Not sure why its heating up now, but you could always do a system restore. That will probably work.

I had the same problem as you guys...it seems we cant fix that we have to let hp give us AMD drivers :(
