Make sure you're actually booting from it (Usually F12 or DEL for boot menu) and make sure the discs are bootable.

If you've done both, the drive is faulty.

[QUOTE="Easyle"][QUOTE="urdead18"][QUOTE="Easyle"] I am using a Lenovo Y570. Is this still bad? How good framerates should I get for most games?

I don't know any specific benchmarks, all I know is that it is severely stripped down and is more of an overglorified GT 525M.

That sucks. Does anyone know benchmarks for my type of video card?

Yeah, I almost bought that laptop too until I read that... As for benchmarks, not really, it's a unique card.

[QUOTE="urdead18"]

Are you by any chance using a Lenovo Y570?

The GT555M in that laptop is severely striped down: 96 cores vs the 144 in a real GT555M.

If you're not using a Lenovo, you should be getting decent framerates.

And would this guarantee good temps?

Not if you don't have good case airflow. If your case is relatively clean and your fans are working, then yes.

What aftermarket coolers would you reccommend?dThReCoN
Coolermaster Hyper 212+. Most people here will say the same thing. They're right.

Costs $25-30 US and can get an 2500k/2600k to 4.5GHz+ with comfortable temps.

[QUOTE="Armored_"]Im afraid money is a limitation, thus ruling out a macbook pro. I could always go for a windows laptop but im more comfortable with mac anyday, not to mention the size of the air is perfect for my needs. I know the Air is not a gaming machine, but since i just about want to run those two games, is there something else that could go wrong?

I can almost guarantee you won't be satisfied with MW2/Blops frame rates even at the lowest possible settings. If you want a similiar (not quite as skinny) form factor, go for the MSI X460DX...$750 and has an i5/4GB/GT 540m which can run blops on high @ 55-60FPS.

To give you a reference my i7 2600k is OCd to 4.2Ghz w/ a Coolermaster Hyper 212+ ($25 CDN) and my idle temps are between 33 and 37 degrees.

50-55 is high for idle especially on stock. While those temps arent dangerous, the temps that you likely get when you're under load probably are.

I just got the Samsung Galaxy S2

Pros:

Awesome display
8MP Camera w/ 1080p recording
Dual Core @ 1.2GHz
1GB RAM
Very lightweight
Lots of customizability and freedom
Near-perfect multitasking

Cons:

Battery life isnt great (supposed to be fixed with Android update 2.3.4)
Screen size is a little big for some people
Texting isnt as easy as it is on an iPhone

Overall, I love it :P
