UPDATE: modern warfare 2 running smooth.

trouble is that laptop heats up quite quickly. I bought cooler master u lite laptop cooler (single fan) and helped slightly. Want to know what is the optimal temperature on a laptop if I'm gaming on it? matlab the temperature at which it's safe for components to work? will buy some other casing fans and modify them to work via usb charger.

I just bought a HDMI cable recently and hooked my laptop up to my TV. The problem is the desktop which displays on the T.V screen is small, almost 21' diagonally while my T.V is 42'. I went to display settings, selected the 2nd monitor and increased the resolution but it won't go past 1280x800. I try dragging the little cursor thing to 1920x1080 but it just won't stay put. I'm guessing the laptop's shitty Intel gpu can't handle 1080p, but why won't the desktop cover the whole of the TV screen? I don't mind slight loss of quality over the screen displaying fully. Any ideas guys?

O yar just try to change the aspect ratio of your tv screen, which you can do by the "P.size" button, make it to 16:9 or to "Just Scan" ,every LCD TV have ,atleast the one i know. xD

Need recommendation for PSU

Hi guys, I have recently added Radeon HD7770 GHz Edition to my setup.
My Setup
Intel Core i3 2100
P8H61MLX MB
8GB DDR3 1333MHz
2x Sata HDD
1x Sata DVD RW
added Radeon HD7770
-------------------
now my question is that I have a cheap Dany 400 watts PSU (shameful indeed), will it hold itself with that card and specs?
I checked extreme PSU Calculator(resulted 275-307 watts)

Best Reagrds,
Humayun

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
