@tecochooo It's A Trap!

Just another comment about playing games on this laptop. I recently installed Call Of Duty 4 on this, and its handling it like a champ at 1024x768 res. Quality is on par or better than xbox 360 (only other frame of reference I have personally) I only play Multiplayer though.

are you using the 1.3m webcam to record this? because the MSI Wind im getting has a 1.3m webcam on it

[dmglouis]

yea, the webcam is a 1.3 megapixel webcam. However, the software and drivers provided with it are not that great (in terms of real-time video effects, like distorting, mirrors, avatars, etc.). In terms of picture quality, for my particular webcam, lowlight situations are not good, but with adequate lighting, the quality is very good.

@dmglouis maybe, i decide to check it out for myself and no it wasnt the mother board , its a problem with the start up,
