"My laptop has gone all gimpish..."

I've never had any problems while playing Halo on it, it's on the lowest setting level but it runs super smooth which is what I want for online gaming.

Recently however things have been getting jumpy with it, so jumpy that at some times I get a new frame once every 10 seconds or so!

What's even stranger is that it doesn't do this all the time. It will run super smooth, then go super jumpy and almost as suddenly as it started it will go smooth again!

It's only happened recently, so I'm completely bafled as to what's wrong.

It's an Iridium 865 too if you want to know.

In fact, saying that. How much would I get if I were to sell it?

See, that's better.

Oh, and when you come to list it, make sure you put things like (NOT DELL, AlienWare etc) in the title, so that more people stumble accross it. :D

Oh my, it's working again now. Plus it's got the same performance as a 2048MB graphics card!

Any takers now?!

:)

I'd stick it on eBay if I were you, Phil. You see, it's not good practice complaining about how crap an item is, and then trying to sell it in the SAME THREAD.

:)

Sold! To the fat man with the dodgy blue hair problem...

I'd take it for a tenner.

That's it, I give in.

I wanna sell this laptop now and buy a proper PC, seeing as I can't ever play games on this ever again.

:(

I completely wiped everything and reinstalled Windows yet Halo still runs find then jumps like anything!

Anyone interested in buying this laptop?!

Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz Processor
512MB DDR RAM
60Gb UItra DMA-100 Hard Drive
15" SXGA TFT Screen (1400 x 1050 x 16m)
64Mb ATI Radeon MobiIity 9000 Graphics
BuiIt-In Video Camera
DVD/CDRW Combo Drive
InternaI FIoppy Disk Drive

Probably worth a tenner now. :(

I sooo want to get a proper PC that can actually play games, and so I can play Halo online again, and maybe even buy Counterstrike...

*cries*

The fan isn't on at the moment.

I'm going to play Halo and investigate.

Don't worry, they don't break that easily.

Well, not beyond repair.
