Portal 2 [SPOILER FREE]

Just uninstall all the HP crap... Or you can install Teamviewer and have me optimize your computer for gaming...

HP computers should be banned.

I removed as much HP crap from my parent's laptop as I could find at the time, and it still pops up an optimization dialog in the middle of playing movies on it.

Either way, I have beaten Portal 2 maybe 3 times now and I think it's a pretty solid game. I can't wait to see user created maps and advanced maps and so on.

If it was a software issue I would have fixed it long ago. But it isn't, so.

If it's hardware, then it isn't HP's fault. If it's HP's fault, then it's a software problem.

I mean fuck HP because my laptop went to repair and they returned it with the same problem. Fuck HP.

What problem? (I still think fucking HP is a rather off-putting idea)

The CPU drops to 0% every once in a while (many onces in a while) and that makes games barely playable and other aplications really annoying to use, because the whole system stops for a second. I think it is a motherboard problem, that is quite common in this and other HP laptop models. But I don't wanna open up the laptop and void the warranty.

That part isn't HP. It's probly the processor overheating... Do you use a chilling pad for your laptop? (if not, that would be the first thing to try)

 

Excellent chilling pad: Thermaltake Massive23 LX Notebook Cooler

(I use one myself, drops temps by 20C at load)
