client of the game closes after 2min

how to solve this problem?
ps my laptop(alienware m17) makes a noise when I'm in the game. may it simply has not enough resources?

How should we know?

Do you get an error message when the viewer closes? If yes, which?

Hi transformice,

I looked up the benchmarks for the Ati Mobility Radeon HD3870 graphics processor (GPU) in that laptop and it's on the low end of what's needed to run SL. It may be that the sound you are hearing is the graphics system fan running at full speed. If the GPU can't keep up, Windows will spool up the fans to keep it cool, then eventually throttle the GPU speed to keep it safe. When that happens, SL often crashes. It's taking two minutes for your GPU to reach that point after you log-in.

If you were able to run SL in the past, and this is a recent development, it's possible the air channels are clogged with dust bugs (bunnies are too big to fit in a laptop) and need some cleaning.

Good luck!

i have gtx 780m in my laptop.

the problem was resolved when I installed the client firestorm for sl :matte-motes-wink:

Well, I guess now I know that the Alienware M17 model designation goes on for years. The M17 model that Google returned was 2009 vintage.

I'm glad you got things working!

Could you please raise an issue in the official Secondlife JIRA for this - it shouldn't happen with kit like that.

My M17 with NVidia GTX 780M runs the SL viewer at 'ultra' settings and with shadows enabled without any problems.

By which I only want to say that the OP's problems probably lie on his machine alone and are not something that can be fixed by creating a Jira issue.
