[Sh0cK69]

Hi everyone! I need help.

When i run Nexuiz on my laptop, it run well... With nice graphics and it has very good performance... but after like 1minute (sometimes not even), the pc shuts down! i dont know why.

This happens even if i just enter the game and dont play.
Please help me. ty

And yes... i have the graphics card drivers all installed and updated

Ive got:
-Linux Mint Felicia.
-1.7GHz Intel Centrino
-1GB ram DDR2
-60GB HDD Sata
-Ati Mobility Radeon X700 (wich should have 512mb Hypermemory, and in linux i only have 128mb)

Get better power supply.

Get better power supply.

What do you mean by power supply? :s

[philbert]

could be that something goes to warm..
perhaps the cpu or graphic card .. cause of that the pc makes a shutdown..

or your graphic card needs to much power, so you need a better power supply..

Wierd...

How do i change that??
I start hearing the pcs fan making noise, like "vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvfffffff" and then is turns off (maybe to prevent to burn):

The same thing happens with the fire efects. If i put the whole desktop filled with the fire effect, it also shuts down...

How can i change? With windows it never happened.

Thx for the responses, and pls help me more .....

PS: dont forget its a laptop, so i cant change the power supply..

if you have an external monitor and the laptop is closed
so it can be that fan doesnt get enough air
because most laptops get their air through the keyboard...

and what you can try too, is to remove dust out of the laptop
by using a hoover or something

i use laptop monitor. and like a month or so, i cleaned the whole laptop. Literally. I took every hardware device and cleaned them all. :S

[philbert]

so I dont know,
perhaps you look for errors with linux and your graphic card on
several forums

If this happens with the fire effect too, then I'd randomly guess that this is not a Nexuiz specific problem. In case you have no problems with that when running windows on that machine, then maybe the system configuration is corrupt in some way. Do you use a proprietary driver for your X700 or do you use the open source one?

If a windows install would show the same behaviour, I would assume that there is a hardware defect (not that windows doesn't blow things up every now and then but two different operating systems showing this weird behaviour would count as an indication towards a hardware defect, imho).

i got it from the synaptics package manager thing... so i suppose its open source driver, right?
