i think my laptop overheats alot.. it reaches 99 to 100 just now. and the whole system slows down alot..
 does reformatting the laptop change the laptop's bios to the older one? This post has been edited by RedDevils88: Feb 9 2011, 04:09 AM |

Hi guys.. anyone of you here uses Zalman NC-1000 Cooler? any comment on this if i am using Asus A42JV, since the ventilation holes do not match the processor area.
what coolers are the best for this model that you all recommend? thanks Added on March 9, 2011, 9:16 pm QUOTE(Najmods @ Mar 9 2011, 07:05 PM) Driver, after you update it you should be fine. maybe u should untick "hardware acceleration" on the youtube options. my laptop couldn't play any youtube videos until i untick this option.Also I noticed the latest Adobe Flash 10.2 hate Optimus, always crash when I use nvidia GPU instead of IGP when playing flash videos online, notably YouTube. Use the old 10.1 solve the problem This post has been edited by RedDevils88: Mar 9 2011, 09:16 PM |

QUOTE(Najmods @ Mar 9 2011, 09:57 PM) No, I don't have any issues anymore. Everything works fine after I change to older Flash 10.1. Thanks for the tip though now I could just use IGP for flash videos i tried reverting back to 10.1 but youtube said i needed version 12 to play the vid.. luckily my gf found out this solution or else no youtube for me!  And also, what cooler are u using? i'm currently looking for one |

QUOTE(Najmods @ Mar 9 2011, 11:13 PM) Sens some angry e-mail to their Technical Support. ASUS getting lazier and lazier to listen to us, and quality worsen since last few years I been using them. what is the email? i would like to send oneA42J is the last thing I would ever purchase from ASUS. Ever. Their budget line is anything but good. I used few ASUS motherboard, all their cheap models dead prematurely but the Crosshair II Formula works well and their tech support fix the problem I describe quickly, but on cheaper product they resorted argue with me |
