The lower the better.<br /><br />My specs:<br />pentium d 3ghz - currently oced to 4ghz<br />2gb ram ddr2<br /><a href='http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/content.php?S_ID=79' target='_blank'>Mobo link</a><br />Power supply silverstone 500w<br /><br />My thought is this: just change to a temporary mid end gc. Since my current mobo is only 4x electrical, may afraid of bottleneck, less than 500 budget is a new mobo &amp; a decent gc. If new gc only, I was thinking hd5670.<br /><br />I play games, currently more to Company of Heroes at low settings, comfortable with it as long playable.<br /><br />May need some advice. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> n3w Hardware Tue, 16 Aug 2011 22:05:38 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1753072 Laptop model hp presario c794tu.<br /><br />Just done a successful bios update from f.33 to f.35. It runs fine for awhile. <br /><br />After I switched off and left it awhile and switched it on, the cpu fan does not run till now. Tried reverting back to the old bios but the results are the same. <br /><br />Any ideas? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br />I may suspect cpu fan spoilt or worse bios problem. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /> n3w Mobile Computing Mon, 14 Feb 2011 04:17:46 +0800
