Well first of all uninstall all display(ati n intel) drivers then uninstall all intel related drivers. Then restart and install all intel chipset drivers and ati drivers from the provided drivers folder in c drive restart and now install new ati 11.5b drivers... let me know if it works...

At last its done!!Fresh install...... :D
Witcher 2 here i come!! ;)

"but looks turbo boost has been disabled"
ok now am in the dark about this...some one please explain.... :(

The best way to check turbo boost is to download and run intel turbo boost monitor from Intel.com.
Then open any cpu intensive app, like a browser with 10tabs and see wheather the core speed gos beyond 2 ghz or not, if it goes above 2ghz then its fine if not then do as I said in my previous post...

I have decided to reinstall windows as drivers look to give problems. Using the recovery DVD will I get a fresh windows install or combined with bloatware

You will get it with all the bloatware installed, if you dont have a copy of win 7 on DVD i suggest you download a copy of win 7 home pre from torrent and use your own key to install it...
And btw there are 3 recovery options in hp recovery dvd or manager, one formats all ur partitions to original state(450 for c +15 for recovery), other only formats c drive and other one i dont remember, look it up on hp support site... And you get a nice gui app (HP recovery manager only) when you boot from the dvd so you get help options and all too so its really easy to use...

Try T Monitor 1.03. It shows turbo boost on all 4 cores, Uses less RAM the Intel TB monitor and can disable Turbo boost also( this option reduces temperature by 5 degrees)

Thanks for the tip bro...
Edit: It displays "This processor is not supported" when i open it...

I think it should as long as you have proper drivers.

Cant find drivers for Intel GPU, can someone help ???

Guys please help me out with one thing, is there a way i can connect my laptop wirelessly to my home theater system ???

btw guys i forgot to tell u this but i dont know what went wrong when i installed 32 bit win 7 but it showed me 2.55GBs of total ram rather than 3-3.5GBs it should show, this is most ram i have seen reserved by win 7 32 bit!
Anybody else have the same prob ?
Thats because 32-bit cannot handle more than 3.25 gb of ram plus intel HD graphics also uses some extra memory when required (upto 1.5 gb depending on the settings ) hence it shows up as less !
my advice install 64-bit windows 7 !
(or try ubuntu , its awesome ! not gud for gaming tho)

Guys please help me out, is there a way i can connect my laptop wirelessly to my home theater system so that i can play songs from my laptop through it ???
yes u can . theres the iball bluetooth reciever :
Iball-products
navigate to :
Bluetooth Wireless Products>Bluetooth Audio Receiver
that should do the job.
alternatively you could use a Fm transmitter ( in case ur theatre has FM)
there's wi-fi too. but its a bit complicated.

It was launched on 21st April. And it is not discontinued. 6121tx is a stipped down indian version. 2GB 6770 would have been awesome on 1080p display. You wont find any difference except for that extra 140GB. 640GB @7200rpm isnt bad though
