Happened to me twice also... Couldn't turn on the laptop... scared me for a bit... hmm, seems like many ppl experiencing the same problem??

Just got a BenQ 21.5" full HD monitor today hehe.. Played PES2010 on it and was wondering whether it's normal to have a bit bit of choppiness when playing 1080P resolution? I thought PES2010 is supposed to be quite low requirements game?

Is it me or the maximum temp is lower when playing games on external monitor?

haha, dun think so, I play PES using gamepad, so it eliminates that probability of heat coming from my hands...

overclocking is still not my cup of tea... having no knowledge in it at all, can't afford to spend so much time figuring it out lol...

btw lee_what, can you tell me what kind of cleaning you did to achieve that amazing boot time? Mine boots quite although I disabled a lot of startup already...

now I figured out how I got temp less than 69 when playing PES2010 lol... I think it's because I was using just the ext monitor screen instead of laptop screen, now after I extended my laptop screen as secondary screen and the temp went back to normal again... But somehow in this mode my game wouldn't play full screen and can only play in windows mode....

I think every state also got carry in?

I am from KK, there's definitely one since I took my older Asus to repair b4...

lol did u poison her? Or ur gf is a gamer @.@

Normal web browsing with lowest brightness could achieve 3 hours...

isn't that a lot better? 20fps...

Yup even my original Asus by mouse from my previous laptop doesn't work well with A42Jv.. I was thinking it was my mouse being faulty but surprising to see other people having this prob as well...

ohh! Thanks I'll try this..

I think it's something to do with the BT driver.. They should update it somehow..

any improvements after updating sound card driver?

N82Jq probably 2 hours only since it doesn't have optimus...

Even A42Jv can only get 3hours+ MAX only..

I updated to the new one.. Doesn't seem to have any problems yet.. Not sure about boot time coz mine wasn't fast to start with..

sometimes my usb port does that as well, but maybe it's just me or i suspect my usb port being overly sensitive and detects/not-detect stuffs very easily....

I have personally used Cooler Master U2 and X-lite before... Being a cheaper option, X-lite does better than U2 in general because of the 1 large fan underneath and it gave me slightly lower idle temp, but the size is just slightly narrower than the laptop... Bought a U2 for my bro and he exchanged it to me for my X-lite because it cooled his XPS 15 better... So I am using U2 now... I guess if I manage to find a suitable position for both fans, it might do better compared to the X-lite.. Tried almost all positions but can't seem to find an optimum one...

Wow u actually asked shops by shops? I can't imagine how many shops are there...

Got a question here regarding startup programs...

Gotta confirm with you guys if I could disable the following startup programs...

1) ATKOSD2.exe

2) HControlUser.exe

3) DMedia.exe

Wondering if they affect my hotkeys or anything else or not if I disable it?

Oh... I need that to know how much volume, brightness, power mode I am choosing right?

just wondering what's the best smooth setting for NFS Shift and Fifa 2011 on 1080P resolutions in A42Jv? Anyone can tell me?

unwanted stuffs running in background or spywares? Do some cleaning lol
