  2. Laptop with broken screen How much?

    I would like suggestions and look in local stores. I dont wanna buy a laptop from someone online. Sorry. But could be a good idea if you asked him about the performance on older games. Gonna make a list ofall laptops people suggest me.

    Remove the screen for space purpose here its small desk and if the screen is opened it will hide my 22 inches lcd

    Hi there,

    Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

    1. May I know the version of Windows that you are using?
    2. What is the total hard disk space of your laptop?

    I would suggest you to take a backup of all your user data, after which you can try and perform the steps to

    . Check if that helps.

    Please get back to us if you need any further suggestions.

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
