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.
Mine died again after my last posts of heavy testing. It would work momentarily with a little pressure on GPU/NB area. I didn't want to bother do another reflow in place, and went out of my way to find stencils for both the Northbridge and GPU, but unfortunately, getting the chips off the board...
GPU UNDERVOLT MOD for XT5000T/XTB70 Nvidia Geforce Go 7600 (G73M)
Thought I could make temperatures go down further by under-volt-modding the 2D/3D VIDs (Voltage IDs), especially since my previous success in (soft)modding the vBios module in the main BIOS to make 3D performance state use the...

Everex users may be interested to keep an eye on my bios-mods thread for updates to the ACPI DSDT table of BIOS 11D. This first update concerns all users who have problems with Video / Wireless, especially due to the IRQ resource mess..

3. Enter 006E and 006A for the EC_SC and EC_DATA values
4. Change bit E9 (E0 + 09 in the...
I'm working on a hotkey driver replacement for the function keys, at least for ones that don't work out-of-the-box on Win7, like display brightness, (and throw in on/off display features), the touchpad on/off (with the updated dell touchpad driver i posted prior), and the media keys atop the...
By far the best Nvidia Geforce Go 7600 driver I can find for Win7 x64 yet, simply because the latest from Nvidia (179.xx), as well as the one from MS Update, suck frog legs.. Think frequent IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL & nvlddmkm.sys stop error BSOD's, recurring "driver stopped responding and...

Circular scrolling, like vertical/horizontal scrolling, allows you to scroll vertically & horizontally, but only without having to take your finger off the touch pad to keep scrolling up/down or right/left.
