right click the installer and choose administrator?

It doesn't work. Almost 2 hours searching the net to fix this. All this security is annoying.
I miss window xp that just keep quite no matter what u do to it.

I just notice BTO Tech is offering G73JH Refurbished with 3 months US warranty only. However, they allow customization and pricing wise not bad. Still the value batch among all is A2.

Congratulations mate. I'm using comgateway now for my Intel 6200 card and IC Diamond TIM They are a Singapore based company, that's ironic for you

It does work. I'm using Eset "Ahem" version on my G73JH without any problems

@Jeffrey > You updated your bios yet?

Nope . . . I'm still in the middle of war . . . Besides that, I'm kinda afraid to do it . . . How about yours? Any significant changes besides of the fan speed?

damn....cannot run Farcry2....huhuhu why? why?...hmmmm

It ran for about 1 minute into the game, then blank screen...huhuhuhu

Dude . . . I'm kinda choke up when I heard some of the users who said that they can't play a particular game as I have never tried any high end games before on my notebook. . . . played only Devil May Cry 4 before . . .

Are you running stock or updated ATI drivers?

I only update to ATI Catalyst 10.7...current bios OEM already 206....

Do i need to change my Vbios??

So far all high end games runs on my rig without any problems except when I update to the latest catalyst 10.7. I've just installed catalyst 10.7a but I haven't tested it yet. I only had 3 GSOD on 10.7 but that was running stock clocks at 700/1000. If I use AMDGPU tool to overclock to 705/1100 the GSOD will not happen. Please do note 10.7/10.7a increases idle temps by about 5~10 degrees. I used to idle at 55~60c now I'm idling at 60~66c

Added on August 13, 2010, 5:50 pmNo don't change vbios as it's not worth the hassle. Also it's official now at NBR and confirmed by an Asus rep that updating a non-Asus vbios voids your warranty. Also there is a risk you could brick your laptop. It's not a big deal flashing the vbios but if you are not sure how to do it you might end up with a 10K doorstop

I've given you another solution, use AMD GPU Clock Tool and set you clocks to 705/1100 and you should be able to run all games. Only problem is you need to set the clock speeds manually everytime you restart your laptop. If you are confident and want to have it automatically done then update to the vbios in NBR. I will advice to use ziddy's vbios or smilegerard. Other vbios out there will disable HDMI & VGA

I'm really a noob on this BIOS or VBIOS thing . . . have to google it up after my exam and learn something from it . . .

I'm an experienced IT technician and have 14 years under my belt and I've got to warn you to be extremely cautious. It might not be a big deal for those who updated without issues but I have seen cases when people follow instruction exactly they still manage to brick whatever they were updating. My advice is to do a little research, find the most trustworthy source for a successful update and follow the instruction posted exactly. Oh and of course don't forget to pray with all your might

so speaking about Vbios update, which one did you used? how(step by step)?care to share?

I'm still on the stock vbios mate. If you want a modded vbios the best bet is to check the link below and follow the instructions EXACTLY!

Ziddy's Vbios v3

Added on August 13, 2010, 6:30 pm@evern > Just noticed your question here

If you get a failed message whenever flashing from windows, DO NOT REBOOT your unit or you WILL BRICK IT!

If you get a failed message, keep using the Winflash program and try flashing back the original stock bios until you get a flashed successful result. It's always advisable to flash in DOS mode than windows because the windows environment is not stable and sometimes causes errors during flashing. Sorry for the late reply

Downloaded the AMD GPU tool..and used it.... sucessfully run Farcry 2....yeay...hehehe

Good to hear Thanks for the information too, this just confirms that most G73JH has the GSOD problem. Going to re-paste my GPU once my TIM arrives & hopefully it will resolve some of the problems
