As here is the K40AB own thread, therefore I wish to ask all "sifu" that same question what I posted in http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1104814, I am now really interesting to get Asus K40AB, hahaha  I saw a brochure leaflet posted online about PC Show in Singapore (June 2009). They have K40AB with AMD Turion X2 RM-74 (2.2GHz, 800MHz, 1MB L2)/2GB RRR2/320GB HDD/ATI Radeon HD4570 with 512MB dedicated/DVDRW/BT/1.3 WebCam/WIFI/8-in-1 Card Reader For detail.. http://www.bootstrike.com/itfairsg/pcshow2...ochure-leaflet/Can I can this model in M'sia as well? How much is the price? cuz what I know in M'sia only with AMD Athlon X2 QL64 2.1GHz 1MB total L2 cache.  |

Hi, I am K50AB user. I am facing a problem with the Audio driver/hardware...  Sometimes, the Audio device is not functioned when I start OS (VHP). It stated that "No Audio device is installed". I need to restart my Windows to detect it. This problem occurred quite a few time already... My question is how to fix this problem?? Is it something wrong with the driver or hardware? Is anyone of you facing the same problem? Thanks!! |

I don't want freebie, so they gave me a special price for my Edifier S2.1M. For your info, PC City is authorized Sarawak Distributor for Asus Notebook & Edifier Speaker. |

QUOTE(zax2_z @ Aug 18 2009, 02:00 PM) Thanks for the info mate. I called out PC city few hours ago and they told me K40AB price is RM2089 :/ dun worry, that must be new stock (320G HDD). Mine is 250G HDD. my suggestion is better dun take freegifts, but go for RAM upgrading, 4G RAM. u can try to negotiate with them. |

QUOTE(kucingfight @ Sep 17 2009, 02:00 PM) did u choose dGPU only? instead of powerexpress? i assumed u've installed the catalyst driver tru DNA mod ? Now I realized that after I upgraded my K50AB to BIOS 213, it did not reboot after upgrading. While, I need to press Power On button to start it. [Power express mode] It can only detected ATI 3200; it will say HD 4570 is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31) [dGPU mode] Totally insane, it can only detect Standard VGA Video Adapter... wordless I am using GPU driver download from Asus website with the link from page 1. Is there anyone can help me!!!! This post has been edited by simonsii: Sep 17 2009, 03:09 PM |
