This happened to me once when i pulled the memory and placed it back in(no processor changes or other system changes).
I re-seated the memory and it booted. ?
The issue on this laptop with respect to overclocking is power, not thermal. That is, how much power the VRM can supply the CPU. When a puter just "turns off", thats the VRM failing.
So... if you increase thermal capacity, you're still gonna be limited by power capacity.
I did not read anyone doing what I do...
Environment:
Battery fully charged
TL-52 processor
Notebook power provided by battery power(Not plugged in)
Turn on PC.
Boot to Windoze desktop, immediately reduce multiplier and voltage
you're welcome. :-)
I see... The TL-52 makes the lil guy a nice lil notebook. We were watch'n Star Trek last night on my gf's notebook and had to play it on my notebbook cuz hers wasnt PHAT enough. haha.
Its too bad we couldnt upgrade the video like the CPU.
I ran it as high as 7 x...
yeah, create Crystal CPUID shortcut with those flags at the end. you could test it w your existing hardware to make sure it executes correctly. if anything, its just gonna lock ur rig.
btw, steam is eating up between 8-17% of proc @ 1.8MB download. thus, the HD video is about 60%.
Here's the big fat data DUMP... This was taken during and after a while of matroska 720p playback... also downloading in steam. The processor stays below 60c. I think the fan kicks into "HI" at 62C, but im not 100% sure. It doesnt kick into 'HI" at 60c, so...
Yeah, I thought, "hmm... double the cache"? I'll take that. ;-)
I got it through ebay from 'Bestpotdeals'(I have no idea what that's about heh.)
I paid a whole... wait for it.... seven dollars and ninety nine cents for it. Add two dollars for shipping and it set me back a whopping ten bucks...
Well it was plug and play, its just the notebook would boot to the desktop, then lock up after a minute or so. So the trick is getting it de-clocked before that happens. Thus, you set up a shortcut to Crystal CPU with the appropriate flags(in my previous post) in the startup folder.
I just upgraded my LT3103u to a TL-52.
The TL 52 is definitely push'n the limits of this notebook. You kinda have to bootstrap the notebook to get it to boot - unplugging the power cable during boot did this for me, once its running and booted to the desktop, the proc speed and voltage is...
