Before this, everything works fine. My card auto goes into 2D mode when idle and into 3D performance when I playing games. After installed some basic program and Vista update. After boot into Vista, the clock speed is always running at 648MHZ even idle.

SATA drives >> a boot load fix

dougmcl
Thought people would catch up, but by the continued complaints, I see it ain’t so. Took me two months to learn the simple, so guess I should share it. SATA drives will many times not boot, with the error “system drivers not loaded” or similar – “cannot find…” Your bootable cd-rom must incorporate extcd.

Sony Vaio VGN-FE550G image?

danleff
Well, I violated my own policy. . . I agreed to look at this laptop for a co-worker's son. I usually only work on my family's systems. The system originally had Windows Media Center installed on it. The youngster decided that he wanted to put Windows XP on the system, so he truely wiped the hard drive clean.
