    It should be F2, can't remember off the top of my head. If you do not have issues with the notebook, it's probably best to leave it alone. Don't mess with it if it's not broken, yes?

    you should have download from Tester's link. The Correct Installation: #1

    If you download from his link, there is a second fold that helps with Driver Cleaner keys.

    my guess would be the video drivers. are you sure you updated to 9.4? I had this similar problem when i ran 3DMark06 and 3DMarkVantage.

    this is why i avoid using driver cleaning and why i avoided 9.4. people noticed a spike on recovery errors on 9.4 on www.rage3d.com catalyst forums. i would probably revert and install dna 9.2 or stock 9.3 (which has the yummy cpu/dependant game fps boost). Its in my humble opinion if you wipe the modified settings for your card made by msi that ATI is clueless about it is an invitation to instability. But there is no proof on this and this is just gut feeling without absolutely no evidence to back me up. (Other than i don't have vpu recovery errors)

    Hey smiter, yawp, it says 9.4. I followed the instructions but thats what happened. I couldnt even run 3dmark at all. My computer would freeZe up. So what i did i downloaded 9.2 dna. Followed instructions installed 9.2 driver and cat. Now everything is welldone. On my driver cleaner i deleted ati/atiinstallmanager/atihdmiaudio/cccc. Been great so far.

    What i dont understand, the first time i installed 9.4 i did not have any pro blems using the 3dmark and i had no errors.

    I reinstalled 9.4 just because i wasnt satisfied enough and i had something saying , something is not working. So i unimstalled then installed again the proper way. Then after that, thats when problem started.

    hey redlance, i just uninstalled 9.4 and driver cleaned ccc/atihdmiaudio/atiinstaller/ati.

    Now i installed 9.2dna. Now its perfect. I could use 3dmark06 again no recovery driver errors whatsoever.

    When i get home from work, i will test everything again. If it doesnt. Ill probably do a recovery from factory and start from there.

    Question: how do we do recovery without doing it from the dvd. Is there a recovery setup from the desktop?

    That is so true about the spike on recovery errors for 9.4. I read that somewhere also.
