Something wrong with my Laptop?

[Craigsup]

I've just run the 3DMark 11 and my score looks a lot lower than it should. I've compared it with some listed in the thread on Show Off Your Laptop and mine is a lot lower.

Is there any reason why this could be?
When running it, the fans didn't seem to increase their intensity if this contributes to the potential problem?

Thanks

Sorry if it sounds like a silly question but was it plug in? or using battery? If it was plug in and your scores seem lower than expected I could only suggest doing a clean installation of the drivers for your GPU.

It's plugged in. According to the 3dMark website they say my system should score over 4000 more than my current results of 1000.
Also according to the website, my VGA driver version: 8.951.6.0, whereas the newest is 8.961.0.0. Although i can't find any download for the new drivers.

on the netbookreview forum one guy changed the drivers and it worked fine since that

The issue is sorted!
I reinstalled windows and everything and now it seems to work!
