I was wondering what I can do to my system to optimize its ability to run Diablo III. I am able to play starcraft II on low setting but I would like to be able to play on higher settings, at the LOWEST price possible. I would really appreciate any feedback anyone has.
Here are my system specs:

I recently got a radeon hd 5570 and whenever I change the screen resolution from 1440x900, it says input not detected but then it changes back after 15 secs. However one time I tried changing screen resolution from the notification area and this did not allow for the 15s safety readjust so I was stuck with input not detected. I tried rebooting many times, no luck.
Then I went in safe mode but it won't allow me to go up to 1440x900 because safe mode doesn't load my gpu drivers needed so it defaults to trash onboard graphics. now this is all on my windows 7 64 bit
I have windows xp installed on the same hd different partition and the only resolution that works is 1440 x 900. I tried changing to all the other resolutions i could but it didn't work.
So the question is how can I change the settings on my windows 7 system files so screen resolution becomes 1440 x 900 while I'm booted onto windows xp? or is there anything else I can do from safe mode?

If you can dimly remember the concept of refraction from high school, you're doing better than most. Perhaps if you'd been taught using this video as an example, you'd have paid more attention.

I've looked up other people having this issue being related to AVG, and I have tried disabling it before starting up the game, but I end with the same results. Any ideas?

Pretty much what I'm asking is, is it at all possible to get a replacement for my laptops dying hard drive? I'd really like to upgrade or get the exact same. Yes, I like to play demanding games on this critter. No I do not have an issue with lagged fps, don't make statements that my computer is crap, I want help and I'm stating what I use it for. I want a relevant answer to replacing the hard-drive. I don't have the money to get the desktop that I want yet so this laptop has to last me awhile longer, so please give hard drive suggestions according to my laptop specs because to tell you the truth I SUCK at hardware. That's why I'm in the uncomfortable position of gaming with a laptop and not a desktop -sigh-. So I need some help here, and again please be kind to this PC it's outdated, and this is the only problem I've had from it. I love it to bits like a favorite blanket. It's like a pet!
Okay so system specs:

No, the Super Bowl is not going to be in 3D this year. Again. But that doesn't mean you don't want a 3D set. Here's the thing: The best 2D TV is a 3D TV. The burlier image processors required to render the third dimension make everything look better.
