I don't think you will fry it, as usually, it is the gpu which fries the laptop... and to be honest I am quite curious to know the perf of the intel 4400  Grin

About 50KH/s... doing it right now on X11 with WafflePool. Did the same with BitCoin before I bought an ASIC rig. Will certainly be upgrading to a dedicated GPU rig eventually for X11, but the Intel 4400 in my Dell laptop is always my starting spot to test the waters.

(I keep my laptop upside down to vent it, with a fan blowing across the vent ports. Stays fairly cool.)

Step 1: Download PiMP from htttp://www.getpimp.org
Step 2: Burn image to a usb stick
Step 3: Insert usb to mining rig, boot up system
Step 4: Wait while it boots (could take a few minutes)
Step 5: Change your pool information, tweak configs
Step 6: Happy mining

PM me if you need more help (with PiMP)

EDIT: If you are thinking about mining with laptop GPU, Don't. You will burn out your laptop before you even make $1. Buy some cheap gpus, build a little rig.
Thanks so much my friend I got lots of USB sticks lying around and does it matter what size USB stick? and I have an old desktop I can use to mine with btw now too Smiley

Can anyone recommend a easy to set up good miner for mining x11 coins? I'm such a computer illiterate Noob and haven't been able to figure out how to set one up and which .bat files to make and which .conf files to make? If anyone could assist me with this problem that would be greatly appreciated Smiley

I'm pretty sure you won't be making enough to even pay for the electricity used.
Not concerned with the electricity because all my bills are paid in one lump sum including electricity I just wanna know how to set one up for the x algos so when I get my actual mining rig set up I will know how to set it all up in advance ya know

anyone can tell you if you had provided info about which hardware, OS and drivers versions...
It's a Toshiba Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210 CPU @ 1.70ghz 2.40GHZ and has intel 4400 graphics card

To mine with this notebook isn't the best idea you have had.
You think it will fry it then with x11 algo? Probably best off renting mining rigs for coins I want in on then right?
