    Asus 1201HAB will not power up/charge

    Notebook RAM upgrade gone wrong?

    I have an Acer Aspire 3009WLCI (essentially a rebadged 3003WLCI) that came with 512 (2 x 256) PC2700 SODIMM RAM.

    Wrong core clock speed detected by Rivatuner?

    I just installed a BFG 5600 Ultra, and Rivatuner tells me the core clock speed is 235 (instead of 400) (correctly identifies mem speed as 800). It actually shows 235 over 58.5 for the core clock speed, and 800 over 171 for the mem speed, so maybe both settings are messed up, I'm just not sure. I...
