The GPU usage was for GPU2 I guess the Intel chip. Here they are again.

I send my laptop back to PCS last summer, they replaced the heatsink assembly and fan. My laptop is still reaching over 90 degs within a minutes of playing GRiD Autosport or Dirt 4. It was like this when it was returned from them. They seem to think this is normal. I know this is an old...

Is there a model based on the Clevo P751TM chassis?

It's almost 3 years since I got my Optimus V and now it's time for an upgrade. I was waiting for a machine with the GTX1060 as the V has an GTX860m but I assume the GTX1050Ti will be more than adequate. I can't find a real review of the 1050Ti vs 1060 anywhere. I tried to find the manual on...

I'm back in India so back gaming on my laptop instead of my gaming desktop. I installed the latest version of Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. Here is a screenshot of the opening menu screen of Dirt Rally a couple of minutes after starting the game in Window mode. You can see the CPU temp at the...

I have this card in my machine and my Microsoft Sculpt Touch Bluetooth mouse keeps disconnecting. I have 3 of these mice and have also used them on different machines and so I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the card. I've posted on the Intel forums and I'm not the only one to have problems...

My 15.6 Optimus V has been overheating for some time and it's in its 3rd year of warranty. I don't play that many different games on it, I have a desktop for that but the two main ones I play are Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 and Dirt Rally. If I start Dirt Rally, even during the loading...

I use my Optimus V connected to my TV to play games but whenever I plug in the HDMI cable more often than not the sound is still output to the laptop's speakers. Sometimes in the sound panel my TV shows up but even then whether it is selected already or if I switch the default to the laptop and...

I have an Optimus V and I've had a lot of problems with my Microsoft Sculpt Touch mouse disconnecting and then not reconnecting unless I reboot and then not always. I have similar problems with a Logitech BT mouse so I don't think it's the mouse. Both devices work flawlessly with a generic BT...

Hi I just installed Android Development Studio and it can use Intel® Virtualization Technology to run the Android emulator. I downloaded the latest software from Intel but it turns out I need to enable this option in the BIOS. I don't see this option. Has anybody managed to do this or is it...

I've been in India and Nepal for the past 2 months and both countries suffer regular power cuts. Whenever I'm playing a game, mainly PES2015, as soon as the power cuts the game slows as if it's switching to the Intel GPU. I can't find where to force the game to use the Nvidia GPU whether on...

I've just completed the install of my new 15.6" Optimus V with the exception of the SBCinema software. In the download from PCS there are two versions, 3501 and 3508. Anybody know what the difference is or why the older version is included?

I ordered this last night to replace my almost 3 year old Optimus II (GT555m). I will put a Samsung 840EVO 250GB SSD in it as the boot drive and use my old Seagate Momentus XT 750GB drive as the data drive. I will also swap the 8GB of Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9S3K2/8GX out of the Optimus II...

hi I just dropped a spare hard disk into my old Optimus II and installed Windows 8.1 Pro from an ISO without product key for testing purposes. All drivers installed except the sd card reader but I used the Windows 7 driver and that seemed to work ok. After I got .Net 3.51 installed from...

hi My old Optimus II is coming to the end of it's 3 year tenure so it's time to start looking for my next resident. Over on Notebookreview forums someone suggested that Clevo is phasing out the W355STQ chassis. If so does this mean that the Optimus V will be replaced by a Optimus VI? cheers...

Hi I've used my laptop many times with my external monitor via the HDMI but today I just tried it and nothing appears on the monitor and the Intel graphics control panel doesn't show any other display device to output to. I tried 3 different HDMI cables with the same result. Does this mean my...

Hi I just clean installed Windows 7 after upgrading my hard disk to a Segate Momentus XT from the old WD black drive. The audio worked without having to install any drivers so then I tried installing the THX which didn't work, it complained that there was no supported audio device so then...

Does PCS have the latest 109 BIOS for the Optimus II ? I found one on NBR but I'd like to know for sure it's the one for my machine. cheers damole

I contacted PCS about the 95% screen a few days ago via the messaging system and received a reply the next day, I responded to that email within a few hours but it's now 48hrs since then and I haven't received a reply.

I know it's probably been answered already but I can't seem to find which key changes the boot order sequence at start up. F12 seems the most likely candidate so far but It hasn't worked yet.
