  • I'm unable to play games in fullscreen. As soon as the game is activated, the display is only in the center of the screen.

    I'm unable to play games in fullscreen. As soon as the game is activated, the display is only in the center of the screen. It happens with every game.

    Have you tried to change the GPU scaling option in the control center of AMD?

    You could try re-installing the latest drivers (and therefore, the control center) and see if that fixes the freeze in order to change the option.

    Otherwise, you can try a system restore to a point before the option has been modified or when it was not gel.

  • Re: Unable to play games because of the graphics card

    Hi all...
    I'm on Toshiba Satellite L40-18W-PSL4CE model 00H0000GAR...

    I'm not able to play games... If games start it says unsupported graphics card...
    I use 1 GB of RAM... In my view, that there is no available external graphics card...

    Please help me

    Hello sow

    Satellite L40 is certainly no game machine. In my view, that it runs with minimum of RAM for Vista and you must not surprise that you can't play games.
    I don't know what games you want to play, but try it with an older one like FarCry or Maxpayne1. Maybe it will work.

    For newer games, this laptop has certainly no enough power.

    Hello Mary,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    I recommend you try to play the same games on Internet Explorer. There could be a problem with the browser you are using.

    If everything works correctly on Internet Explorer, you can try to fix Google Chrome by reinstalling. To uninstall the browser, you can view:

    Uninstall, change or repair a program

    To download and install Google chrome, you can consult:

  • Unable to play games because of random fps drops

    So I just got my new laptop HP Envy 17 3070nr A9P78UA #ABA about a month ago. And since I've played all the games installed above (in offline mode) or online, I randomly get huge lag, fps drops below 1 and sound feedback is slow and distorted. This may take from 10 seconds to 2 minutes. Occurred are examples of games where it emits: half-life 2, Countersrike GO and League of Legends. I updated my drivers and BIOS for later and I reinstalled the games.

    Data sheet:

    OS - Win 7 (64-bit)

    Processor - Intel COre i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20 GHz, 2201 Mhz, 4 cores, 8 logical processors

    RAM - 8 GB

    Graphics - Radeon HD 7690 M XT

    Free space - 450 GB

    IIRC, it's a hard disk protection feature that is the cause. Disable it solves the problem. I forgot what the function is called, though.

    Hello

    You have 2 choices: slow rate or a lower resolution. The video card on your computer can only do so much. You need more money to buy a gaming machine.

    Not a lot of details in your message, but if you live in some parts of the world there may be no active server.

    EG - Australia has no active server. (no games don't last long here, due to the relatively small population)

  • Qosmio X 870 - GTX 670 M - unable to play all games

    Hello

    I got this new laptop about 3 weeks ago and since I am unable to play all the games using the GTX 670 M GPU. I am able to access the game menu but not less than 30 seconds to play any game, I get a black screen and it brings back me to the desktop.

    I updated the driver, and it shows in Device Manager it does not work properly. I reinstalled the computer to factory setting but still the same problem. The strange thing is that I am able to play all the games using the basic GPU Intel HD 4000 but not the GTX 670 M. Please if anyone can help me I would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    > I updated the driver, and it shows in Device Manager it does not work properly.

    Maybe you should use another driver from nVidia page.
    There are also a few 3rd party pages provide updated drivers the.
    I m thinking www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com pages.
