1Gb is fine for running this game, as it is double the minimum specs required. Your RAM is fine, especially because it is OCZ, when it comes to RAM, the label really DOES mean something, unlike with many other components.
I hope I've been helpful, and as I've said before, i'm not much of an expert on laptop graphics, so feel free to discount what I've said and seek advice elsewhere.Īugat 6:26 Well, it appears you have an ok-ish HDD, although could be quite a bit better and as HDD are as cheap as mud, you might consider buying a nice beefy 250GB HDD, i would suggest Seagate. If you happen to be thinking about buying a new laptop, i could advise you on buying one that could handle this game, but as gaming laptops are fairly pricey, i should think that buying a possibly cheap, but well considered and well put together Desktop, would be more in order. Time to eat my lunch….Īugat 1:40 Well, from what I've read about Dell Inspiron 1150's they're fairly unreliable, prone to overheating, and some have problems with their WiFi systems, and with only 64Mb's of Graphics memory, i don't think it will have a plug type SLI socket, more likely an integrated card/chip that cannot be replaced, so unfortunately, despite its fairly good CPU speeds and ranges it doesn't appear to be able to handle CoD4, i should think it'd even struggle with CoD2, but i'm not sure about that, because my old computer could handle that, and that only had a 1.66 GHz CPU. Let's see if the 67c drops lower….ġ1:47, the 67c dropped to 61c with FAN SPEED set to 100 and the side panel removed for better air flow. I will now remove the side panel for better air flow. Should be 64c again.ġ1:42, temps are now reading 67c with GX2 fan speed set back to 100. AUTO fan speed is reading 58.įAN set back to 100, let's see what it reads in 5 minutes. Time now is 11:32.ġ1:37, temps are now reading 76c with the AUTO fan speed. Lets see how high it climbs in just 5 minutes…. I just put GX2 fan back to AUTO and it dropped from 100 to 45. Right now, internet surfing, Side Panel is ON, and I am idling at 64c with GX2 Fan set at 100. But I don't know what I am trying to make certain of. I pushed it IN and seated it to the rear, it seems ok….
What could make the video card overheat? How do I ensure the proper seating? But elsewhere, I am reading that users are having temps in the 70c range. So I am thinking that, the heated air inside can not escape or keep the video card cool enough. Side Panel Off it held steady between 84c and 87c under load while playing CoD4.įPS fluctuated from 70 to 150 but my computer froze up at
I did another test, CoD4, GX2 Fan at 100, and learned how to set the EVGA Precision Utility on my screen while I played so I can monitor what the temps were. This is my 3rd computer from them, so I don't think it is junk. The last resort is to ship the computer back to the point of origin for relook.
I am sure what we discover will help others isolate the problem as well. I appreciate your time and interest to help me out.
