Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
And some random stuff...
Drop panel mount for a projector, downside was that the wind outside would bounce the image up and down
Had to find a way to mount some speakers in my Saquoia's factory mount... Bought some adaptors, decided that I didn't want to lose my mids so I glued/screwed this...
Network equipment is never designed to last long enough, I get all my equipment from goodwill so it usually ends up there due to overheating.
Cable modem
Wasn't happy with the way it looked...
ah that's better
After doing that didn't take any crap from my router, same procedure
Been awhile thought I'd post some stuff, first headphones
Phillips citiscape downtowns ownership 7 years
Replaced flat flex cable and internal left to right bridge wire
Eventually the pads desintigrated and my replacement wire went bad as well so...

Honestly, 48c isn't enough to damage the cpu, what I'd be concerned with is the load temp. Anything below 60c is most likely ok. But before spending money, I'd clean the cooler and reapply the thermal paste. If that doesn't help try disabling smart fan control, because that particular arctic...
As long as there was a config of the laptop that originally sold with a 35w TDP cpu you should be fine, as long as the bios supports the new cpu.
If it didn't, then its unknown as to whether or not the circuitry will supply the cpu with enough power to post, or if the cooler can handle the...
1.When the screen is working, go to bios and leave it sit. I want to see if it crashes or shuts off doing nothing.
2.Does the laptop have a physical switch to turn the screen off when closed? Play with it if it does. If its broken remove/replace it.
3.When the screen goes blank, can you use a...
Disable keyboard error check. If there is a stuck key, it may refuse to boot.
Try booting into a live CD of some kind. Anything will do really, this will tell you if the pc will still function. If it boots, either your boot settings are messed up, or your HDD is dead. You say it's good, but I...
It was for the alc889a, but I think it's a driver multipack.. it wont hurt to try it.

It was 135mb, 7zip dropped it to 24mb :)
Oh well, back to jan 09 drivers, honestly some of these driver/software devs are incompetent, reducing the functionality of your hardware as they roll out the "updates". I wish I found my MB CD sooner, now I feel like I wasted your time. sorry
I first updated to the realtek 2.57 drivers, only after having the problem did I switch to the gigabyte 2.54 drivers. Checking the release dates these things are only days apart.
I was running drivers from january 2009, although the reference pic (left) I used wasn't mine, it just had what...
Realtek driver updated, no more Dolby digital live buttons. Whats the point in digital output now, do i need to get a new home theater box and switch totally to analog for proper control? I'm stuck on prologic II and I hate it.
What genius decided to remove it?
Anyway can someone point...
You should check to make sure that the heatsink is making good contact with the gpu and chipset. Most laptops are designed with the use of heatpads in mind, and heatpads are typically thicker than a good layer of thermal compound.
I wouldn't think that the keyboard would be the issue, but to...
