Ok.. it looks like this is a known problem for Samsung laptops on Windows 8 currently. :( Hopefully, Samsung will fix it with some updates or something. http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/8-RXiHZq5d0[1-25-false]

OMG! I think that was it.. I just disabled the cache with the settings and I don't think it happens anymore! Thanks for the solution.. it was driving me insane! Edit: Nevermind.. that didn't fix it. :( Still happens with the cache turned off.

Does anyone here have an odd issue of having to refresh web pages because they don't load everything in Windows 8? It happens on both the wireless and wifi connection and on all browsers I've tried (firefox, ie, opera). This doesn't happen on any other computer in the house. Also, I do not...

For those that have opened up this laptop to install an SSD.. how hard was it? I tried at one point to open it up, but it felt like I was breaking the case when trying to get around the edges, so I just gave up.

Pretty much this thread explains what happened: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557 And this is pretty similar too: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/607802-samsung-series-7-chronos-laptop-ubuntu-live-cd-brick/ Short version, I was trying to backup my Windows 8...

What do you do to monitor throttling? I didn't notice when I had it.. before I bricked it. :(

I'd probably recommend getting an OEM one rather than a knockoff to save the money. Power is pretty important, and I wouldn't risk a bad ac adapter on a high priced item. I have bought them for much cheaper items though.

Damn.. thanks for finding that for me. That sounds like that's exactly what happened. I selected "UEFI and CSM OS" thinking that it would support both for booting.. guess that was a bad idea. :( At least now I know it's bricked. :)

Here is a warning to those reloading the OS.. not sure which one of these things FUBAR'd my laptop, but it's in a state that I have to send it in now because I can't get it to boot anymore. I wanted to backup my whole drive with my own backup software which boots off of a regular boot CD...

Anyone know if our laptop can do 3d vision at all? I think the 650m supports it in other laptops, but not sure if our drivers have it.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed odd web caching behavior on their laptop? I notice quite a few times web pages would load without the css loaded and i would have to delete the cache and refresh it. This didnt happen in any other computers i have. I am using both chrome and firefox in...

If you add a hard drive in the dvd drive bay, can you boot from it? Are there special instructions to do that?

How do you set the processor state? Wouldnt setting it to 99% make it hotter?

I just bought this laptop and was wondering if anyone has any concerns with heat while gaming on it? Are there any tools to force the fans to run at certain speeds?

Hi Everyone.. I'm rather new to SAS and am trying to configure a LSI SAS 3801E PCI-E card connected to a SAS extender with 24 SAS disks attached. This is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux and I have all the latest drivers for the LSI card. The SAS 3801E supports 8 connections (4 connections...
