cheers for the help and tips guys !! greatly appreciated . the fan noise is hard to describe . its very random and only under heavy load . it sounds like the fan blades slightly hit something everyonce in a while . if you have ever heard a horribly creaking bearing its pretty much a quieter version of that .i might try catch it on video sometime to properly show the problem.. @my display driver mostly only crashes running eclipse also . that makes two of us then . i guess you also experience the horribly scaled ui in eclipse . maybe thats the root of the problem
