Just re ran it again .. and the PC just hang, had to shutdown ... I'm wondering if im having hardware issues with my video card. I was getting allot of BSOD hence why i reloaded and decided to give 64bit version a try

Shut down the lappy for 1hr ... ran test again. now getting 4.7 .. heat ??

You can check to see if heat is the issue by installing CPUID HWMonitor or something similar. I would not be surprised if you end up seeing CPU core temps around 78C or higher. That particular model tends to run a bit warm. Maybe a good idea to take it apart and clean the dust out of it or have it done.

I have a lappy, not so easy to get inside and dust off, think i may just re-install 32bit version

A 3.5 score seems about average for laptops. I wouldnt hope for much higher unless its a gaming grade laptop.

Not really, mine received 4.3 although why Aero is more than a full point lower than gaming graphics is a mystery. As to the OP, have you installed the newest drivers for your GPU? Preferably WDDM 1.1 7 certified?

@awjm, since you recently installed x64, you may be missing the correct drivers or your BIOS may need to be updated. Check on the HP and NVIDIA sites if there are new upgrades for your computer and graphic cards. NVIDIA especially, since there are frequent and recent x64 updates.

I had all the latest x64 bios and drivers .. problem seems to be heat related to me, if i run the WEI right after a cold bootup it works and give me the correct score. I elevated my lappy and put a small fan to blow on it, and the score went up by 1 .. so definitely heat i would think.
