Reply to Laptop shutting down while playing games in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

100 Celsius is critical even for modern hardware while a GPU can withstand temps of over 150 C i think gainward is 170 C max and then the card dies ( note that these cards would never fit into a laptop. A GFX card it should stay at around 70- 90 on graphic intensive games ( Battlefield 3 ) while in normal use around 40 and idle below 30 to read out the temperatures i recommend AIDA 64- (its the new everest) you can also check your ram with it and other hardware compo

Sorry [e digicons]:D[/e] i just took a look at the picture thought you mean the buttons...didnt even notice that the places list isnt alligningas Xiandi said check the width and height values [e digicons]:blush:[/e] Also take a look at your painting margins set them all to 0 if that doesnt work it can be that you have cutted places out and missed some pixels to complete the image ( wrong cutting ) i do that a lot therefore i alway check twice

open skinstudio - edit startmenu and taskbar - edit startmenu - program list - on the bottom you will have the riders image glyph painting text animation code editor - click on text and set the margins for the left higher until it fits =) You can also trick this by changing the item mouseover botton to a shorter transpoarent button ( a button that has space of transperancy on the left side )

Edit: The most "Fair" acchievable is to probably have Win 7 as the only Os to skin. Mhh most skinners still have vista or XP and / is still not cheap...that everyone can afford it just make it easy : 3 sections XP Vista and W7 skins that pop out in each section will be hold against the top skins of the other 2 OS sections while the uploader decieds/defines clearly what OS shou

Did you try to remove the one card? If the second card isnt working why do you still have it in there :D ( card connected via SLI connector ?) with both cards in the correct PCI-express slots ? Graphic drivers should be up to date...also You said you bought the new subscription did you remove the old Windowblind and registrty files ? ( Support can provide you a nice reg file to clean the old registry keys out ) after that y

update your drivers you cant play games these days without having up to date drivers get the latest redist directX and netframework installed... check your GPU temperatures... Start the game and pick the lowest resolution and work your way up... Having a Laptop for games is one thing using it for games with highest resolutions on max settings or even ultra mostly causing BSOD If its still able to show it :D Laptops are not for gaming...Even if they have the brand

Reply to Themes causing toggle boxes to be invisible in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Sorry i hope i do understand this the correct way... you have problems with almost every skin on your computer that you apply with the problem that check boxes or radial boxes wont show or wont add the selected button state ? Windows 7 (sometimes) acts strange and the skin has to be unloaded and the normal aero skin in windowblinds has to be selected and applied before any other skin will work. Open windowblinds unload the skin

Reply to Matrix GTX580 Platinum or GTX590? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

this might help... i would also say the 590GTX but make sure not to get a reference model ( why ?) because they are loud - really loud ! This is just a compare about the 2 cards reference models i assume http://www.hwcompare.com/9825/geforce-gtx-580-vs-geforce-gtx-590/ keep in mind that that there is already a big brother of the 590 out the "GTX595" im unsure but i know about two models AS
