Congratz Subhrajit!!..
You can try games like GTA 4,Max Payne 3,Crysis 2,Skyrim,NFS:MW(2012),Witcher 2,etc...but remember to keep your laptop nicely ventilated by either using 2 books method or a laptop cooler.
Happy gaming!!..

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 for thread data". So if anyone else using steam, which version of nvidia driver do you have?

Guys new BIOS is available P07AAA
I'm using 306.97, try installing it again. there is no need to remove the old driver to install a new one (unless you are installing an older driver).....did you use SW update or manually downloaded 306.97??

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 8.
Ok, so uninstalled the old one and installed the latest recommended driver for 650M, that is 306.97, but still I get the issue. The only two non-Valve games I have in Steam are Dead Island and Fear 3. I haven't been able to start Fear 3 past the menus, while dead island crashes when playing in co-op mode (both crash with r6016 error). I have tried disabling "Enable Steam Community In-Game", also tried adding -d3d9 option to the games to force directx 9, since I heard lot of games don't run with dx11 cards by default. No luck.
At this point, I think I need to get more system data for the issue to be able to get any solution. I will look into in the next few days and see whats up with it. Thanks.

Samsung Laptops - Roll Back Bios Updates?
Use AFUWIN instead of WINFLASH in the command prompt to downgrade to P04AAA then upgrade to P05AA using the updater.

1 for the awesome info!

I bought my NP550P back in may and was aware that the screen wasn't its strong point but hoped it would be good enough. However I find the black levels and flat color well below expectations (I dont know the exact ratings -sorry). I have recently upgraded my screen as I really like this laptop and considering I only paid £750 with vat back I went ahead and got a full HD replacement screen.
Its not the best vid unfortunately as I used a Iphone to video the new screen. Although i think the difference in contrast and colour is obvious enough.

gta iv on high med for 4-5 hrs.. Max temps:- 93C

The Slowest One
sorry bro i don't have these games. But i played GRID for around 3hrs, the max temp was 87(not sure, played long ago). But i am sure i never crossed 90. But the thing is, i don't play BF3 and MP3 kind of games which strain GPU CPU more. others can tell you more precisely about temps while playing these games.
