Thanks guys for all the info here,never know that this particular laptop got it own fan.... =)

I myself had already use K40AB for almost 4 months right now,from XP to Vista and now i'm using Win7 Ultimate 32x.

And for the 1st time i got this gpu driver for HD 4570 problem,i already try the driver given from Asus and also AMD but STILL when i check in device manager its say "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".

Please if anybody could help me for this small matter but very frustrating...

TQ in advanced..

try removing the driver or using driver cleaner in the safe mode..
use the mod driver or manually install driver from cd?

guys, a question, at the moment, theres no support for Virtual machines for win7 yeah?

Got. You need to download it separate as it is not included together with windows 7.

yup.... downloading VirtualBox 3.1.0 for Windows....will update u guys if its running fine

Is this laptop having a True Life LCD screen??

googled and the result i found is NO!

You mean anti glare ? Its glare type. Dell calls it True Life, Sony XBRITE, Compaq BrightView.

Same stuff different name.

whut do u guys think if we put anti glare film or matte file on our k40ab?

Maybe that would be better, but I dont mind the reflective screen

About the ASUS latest driver, it works well for me, both in dGPU and PowerXpress.

I've seen worse reflection in HP compaq series. (imagine mirror with 20% transparency)

The Asus reflection is still at acceptable rate.

i cant reach the number ler....zzz seems like invalid

i had bad experience on mine. the latest driver froze up on the 1st boot. rebooted was ok, then suddenly BSOD, and my OS gone haywire. took 5mins to load, and wifi got screwed. try repairing the OS to no vail..no choice but to reformat

i had some kinda rough time with that too..

when it didnt work.. i had it rolled back.. but still didnt work.. uninstalled.. but windows automatically install back again.. duh..

and ended up deleting the file and installing back the older driver in some rather way...

but urs is far worst experience..

I had to revert back to version 8.631 which is released before the latest buggy version.

OS total screw up - Thats the worse that can happen.

Wow, is it really that bad? Hmm, what BIOS did you use? I just flashed to 213 BIOS last week, previously I use the 'older' 216 BIOS. Both works well though, maybe I should try the ancient 203 BIOS just for fun

well.. the ancient bios.. i'll be trying soon.. for the fan bug thingy.. it works..

somehow my fan speed doesnt increase when the GPU heats up (80C) but the fan is ok when the CPU gets hot. How to make the fan spin faster? (besides opening the casing and put some wires) anyway to fix this using softwares?

You can try the fan bug if you want. Read it in the earlier posts.

Hi all.

I would like to know if it was possible to remove a key of the K40AB Keyboard without breaking it of course.

I did a bad move while eating an yoghurt...

Thx
