Hey guys

Well its coming up holidays again and yet again plans go to ruin -.-.

I have been having over the last few months quite a lot of trouble in relation to my Graphics of my laptop.
Starting off with a software issue that affected the performance of my laptop and especially in game.... Fun times...

The initially problem I did get fixed, where the problem mainly was where the Interfaces across multiple games were showing signs of graphical problems. Starting off with distortions and light coming off units and detailings across maps. Well that was okay since it was only a software issue....

But now.... I noticed just the other day whilst I was in game that the game began to become extremely laggy and I thought that was extremely weird considering that it what this laptop is built for with a decent processor and 1gb dedicated graphics.

So I decided to try to find out what the problem was and then it began again, what my initial problem was with the unit detailing. I managed to fix this problem yet again, but the lagg came back and I thought hm....

So I decided to go into graphics options and see if I could configure the graphics properties of my laptop, to see if the performance was being affected due to batter restrictions or whatever... But of course this wasn't the case. As soon as I noticed when I opened up the Graphics Properties it opened up with a Intel Configuration, which I thought was extremely weird considering that usually Catalyst Control Centre should open, because my Graphics Card is a ATI Radeon 5650 with an addition Intel (R) HD Graphics....

So I thought "WHAT THE HELL?!?!!" By then I was starting to get quite pissed off, so I head over to Device Manager and see that under Display Adaptors that there is no ATI Radeon under this header.... So im thinking that the graphics card could of burnt out? Which is considerable unusually considering the fact that I haven't actually played starcraft for couple of weeks due to this year being quite major exams for me.

Anyway guys, whats your opinion on this because I would really appreciate the advice and your thoughts on this matter. I need to get it sorted as soon as I possible can, with a lot of ToR Clan Activities coming up in the next few weeks and I'd hate to be put out of action YET AGAIN -.-


Anyway Cheers guys, appreciate the help!
