Random Graphics Degradation on t510

#1 Post by puma » Mon Mar 28, 2011 8:48 pm

Hello, I have a weird issue going on with a t510 thinkpad with a quadro nvs 3100m graphics adapter. Randomly while on battery (pretty sure always happening when on battery) the graphics will degrade and it will look like i have it in 15 bit or something. Yet nothing on the system acknoledges this, nothing i can find in the event log. I went into the bios and set everything i could find to max performance..

is there something i may be not thinking of checking? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks
