Please help, stuck at static 24Mhash/s?

-1

I'm fairly new to mining bitcoin, but I have read that using GPU can help improve performance. I currently am using GUIMiner (latest version) running on an OpenCL back-end but when I choose to use my graphics card I get less than I would without it. I also use Slush's pool, if that could have any relation?

PC Specs: Acer Aspire 5560 AMD a6-3420M APU with Radeon HD @ 1.50 GHZ 4GB Ram, is a laptop

Also can overclocking my pc improve performance?

Thank you, - bitcoin n00b

Please refer to How much Bitcoin will I mine right now with hardware X?, if it doesn't deter you, this might also be of interest How can I start mining Bitcoin?. Lastly, the short answer is, if you don't have an [tag:ASIC] these days, you will probably be converting energy cost to Bitcoin at a significant loss.

Using a graphics card to mine is completely fruitless, at this point you would not make a more than about 9 cents a month. Mining is now done on efficient, dedicated hardware that is designed just for this particular work. Mining on a laptop will absolutely kill it as they're not designed for continuous loads.
