Here are some more information for System Nvidia:

Nvidia Powermizer

As you might already know, Nvidia produces some fine PC graphic cards whether it is for gaming or just multimedia purposes. I have always been using their desktop version of graphic card until recently when I am forced to use their mobile version of graphic card on a laptop due to travel reasons.

So what is the problem here? There should be none since I am pretty satisfied with their previous card so changing to a mobile graphic card should not present any problems. I was wrong. There seems to be a little culprit hiding in the driver of my mobile version graphic card. Visit Disable Powermizer to know more about Nvidia Powermizer and how to solve the problem.

Like most things there is a good and bad side to it. Same goes to this culprit I mentioned call Nvidia Powermizer. For some user they might not even notice the effect of Nvidia Powermizer and it might even be good for them. Why? it is because Nvidia Powermizer will help you prevent your graphic card from overheating after some period of usuge. Nvidia Powermizer also helps in saving some battery life on your laptop when your graphic card does not seem to need so much performance out of it.

So what is so bad about Nvidia Powermizer? Nvidia powermizer is bad for gaming. You will experience the drop in performance all of a sudden usually after about half an hour of gaming. This is annoying when you are in the mist of battle. There is no way to make your mobile graphic card go back to the full performance again unless you restart your computer or restart the graphic card from the device manager. So that basically means you have to get out half way from your game.

I notice this effect more often when I am in a hotter country since your laptop will be in higher temperature to start with. If you are not gaming then you will not even notice this effect at all. By gaming I am talking about graphic intensive 3D games like Crysis, Far Cry 2, Warhammer 40K Dawn of War 2 and any other older games that will stress your graphic card.

Note that thie Nvidia Powermizer effect is only a problem to Windows Vista users as you can swith off Nvidia Powermizer in XP just by going into the graphic card driver. If you are a Vista user you can head over to Disable Powermizer to learn how to stop this Nvidia Powermizer.

How do i set my system to stock settings in order to run a Nvidia Card?

I read a forum and it had a guy on there with a problem like mine. I want to set my computer to stock settings so I can run my new Nvidia card. Is this in the BIOS? Please help!!!

I think you mean to disable onboard graphics in the BIOS...

Restart your PC, before you see the windows logo you should see a black screen saying press "Del" (or Esc, F2...) to enter the BIOS.
Once your in the BIOS look around you will see an option to disable onboard graphics. Save & exit.

If you get to the windows logo screen you will need to start over.
