Try again... Yes, 64bit AMD, the only affordable 64bit laptop on the market at the time.... To be honest i have given up on it for the moment. I hope to do something with it in the new year. The issue for me is actually installing Ubuntu or similar so that i have the tools to analyze the problem before the machine throws an overheating exception. Thats is the real problem with getting this fixed, it takes too much fekking around with kernel drivers before you can start to look into the issue. I will trawl this thread a bit for tips, but i do not have the time right now.
