    i have 2 software questions

    i did try, but i can't find a solution or something :'(

    1 - after i did the Graphics Card Drivers updates(even with Windows Update), why, on videos frames, i get, by some seconds, 90% black color(like the image)... like i said after update. i don't know why these happens.. maybe someone can explain more about it.

    (after update the Sound Card Drivers, i lose the sound.... so i use the previous drivers)


    2 - comparing between the batery and cable... the CPU perfomance can be less if i use the batery?

    1 = You probably need to adjust the Gamma. There may be an in-game setting or in your graphics configuration in windows.

    2 = Yes, unless you override the default power settings. It's possible to run in power-saving all the time, or not run it at all in unplugged.

    "1 = You probably need to adjust the Gamma. There may be an in-game setting or in your graphics configuration in windows."
    i found that configuration, it's +1.00. i don't know for what i need to change

    "2 = Yes, unless you override the default power settings. It's possible to run in power-saving all the time, or not run it at all in unplugged."
    thank you so much for that information.

    there may be "BOTH" one in game and one in windows. I don't know about intel, but AMD and Nvidia both have "override" buttons in their settings that can render the in-game slider useless. Is it just one game doing this?

    If you are talking about things like videos played in a browser that are very dark or black for a few seconds before finally brightening properly... you may need to select software video rendering in your browser options. I'm not sure how many browsers besides IE have such a setting though.

    This happens on my home computer when playing youtube or fb videos. It starts out black and comes to life over the course of a few seconds. Maybe not the same thing but I attribute it to my low processing power/memory on that system.

    Re: i have 2 software questions

    According to dilettantes post use software rendering. In chrome its under settings > advanced > "Use hardware acceleration when available". Uncheck that setting.

    Re: i have 2 software questions

    I'm surprised you're just noticing it now. I think its been doing (somewhat random) double posts since July. It seems to be much more consistent now, than it was originally.
    They are supposedly working on it. It has been discussed fairly in depth in a couple of threads.
    I you see that message, you can scroll down and verify your post is at the top of the list of posts in the thread, and just ignore it and move on.

    It is a known problem, so no reason for another example of it.
    I am wondering if you select "go advance" in the quick reply window, and do your reply whether it still happens, as it seems to take you to the "advanced" version of the reply when it malfunctions. If you're already replying from the advanced version, it may not double post, but I haven't experimented with it yet.

    Re: i have 2 software questions

    seems that the video problems are resolved
    thank you very much.
    now lets speak about the audio drivers(in these case can be on same topic, like i speaked on 1st post between parentheses).
    i can do the update of audio drivers, but why i lose the audio just after update it?

    So what was the final verdict on a fix?

    Ps, yes a forum bug for double posting when certain formatting tags are used. Hopefully will be fixed soon
