I doubt your gaming laptop could handle multi-monitor gaming tbh.

Do you only get stuttering when you play online? Whats your ping/latency like?

Put the side of the case back on and take it back to the store..

Is this the first time you've ever bought a faulty item?

soren008

Yes

The noise seemed to be coming from the top where the 500w PSU is

And the CD-rom

I don't know - guess I'll wait for monday right ?

Thanks I just wanted to play Skyrim but the computer crashes every 3 minutes

Is it a faulty product ??

Is updating the motherboard and the graphics card and the operating system is that important? in the right order ?

thanks anyhow

It doesn't matter what order you install the drivers.Best bet is taking it back to the place you bought it, i wouldn't risk touching anything.But i can't think of any reason why it would shutdown in 3 minute increments, only thing i can think of would be a half broken PSU or something wrong in the BIOS.

If your up for it, you could try resetting the BIOS via the CMOS jumper on your mobo, but i wouldn't recommend touching anything since the whole computer is under store warranty (i assume)

good luck.

Also, would it be worth upgrading to 8GB RAM?Chris_53

I really wish people would read more into overclocking before attempting it.

Well, its pretty simple. Just look to see if their are 4 modules of ram located in the DIMM slots.

If their is only 3, well they must have forgotton to put a stick in (in this case, never buy from them again)

If their is the complete set, one of the sticks must be malfunctioning.

Either way, i would take back the PC where you got it from and get it fixed.

How can you call a computer using intergrated graphics a gaming rig?

That will probably have trouble running games on low.

So, whats your reason for getting a laptop? i really don't see the advantage of getting an 18' laptop (heavy as ****) then getting a cheaper, more powerful desktop.

I just don't want to see somebody buying a gaming laptop for the wrong reasons (First-hand experiance.)
