Serious grafic problem & GFWL Update problem

[SirAnteli]

Hey!

 

I have tried to solve some GTA IV problems for 2 weeks with out solutions.

 

1st I can't update Games For Windows Live. Windows Installer is not going to install it, but I don't know why.

 

2nd After ~1min playing grafics will looks like

. I updated ATI Radeon drivers, but it didn't help me. I will be very grateful if somebody could solve these problems.

My PC:

HP Pavilion DV6 3090eo

Windows 7 HomePremium

ATI Radeon HD 5600/5700 Series

6GB RAM

 

Thanks!

For one, that's a weak laptop for GTAIV.

 

This issue you are having probably indicates overheating problems or faulty hardware, being the GPU. You should try running some GPU intensive benchmarks to test it, like rthdrible or PC mark.

try memrestirction command

and also -forcer2vb command

I tested my CPUs with OCCT and here are results

 

 

 

 

 

I chose 1h test, but software automatically stopped testing after 2mins and said "CPU too hot!". You were right! So now I know that overheating is the problem, but is there any ways to fix this? Or do I have to sell my GTA?

Sorry, but I'm noob and I don't understand what you mean

for overheating: put your notebook on some good place (like table) with lot of space around it and no dust , you can try clean your laptop because mosty overheating is because of dust and buy something like this http://www.isso.sk/uimg/belkinchladiacapodlozka1.jpg

 

for commandline see this topic: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=404147

Did you by any chance turn off the CPU speed throttle in BIOS? If yes, you will want to revert that setting to the default.

 

memrestrict or any other commandline switch will not help with this, you should fix the overheating issue first, as your hardware may become damaged.

I'm not sure, everything is possible Please, can you tell me how to check this?

Go into BIOS ( http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000192.htm ) and find some option like throttle CPU speed. It's probably under Power menu or something of the sort.
