hey guys... just bought my n53sn yesterday

i've been experiencing lagness when transferring files or browsing folders and its really annoying  doh.gif bruce.gif

i've uninstalled some useless softwares

whats up with that? any idea or suggestions need help here   icon_question.gif

would it be linked to the asus lived update software that u guy's been talking about?  hmm.gif
*
seriously,
1) go do backup dvd

2) reformat (can refer how to do backup and factory reset in asus manual book)

3) delete useless bloatwares http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus/38068...ware-guide.html

optional ( do backup registry file and clean error registry entry by using CCleaner)

4) uninstall ATK and reinstall back (dunno why some fn key will nt work after uninstall some bloatwares, after reinstall working fine again)

5) use msconfig to unable some useless startup

6) install 'Windows Performance Tool
Download WPT: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/performance/cc752957
Instructions from sarf2k4 (at the bottom): http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1606856/+1940#entry40319554

7) Use Asus Fast boot to delay some program startup

then you could enjoy around 2X ~ 4X sec boot up time

ps. thx to all sifus in this forum who share and guide to achieve fast boot up time rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

well i recover windows to first partition only and uninstall some bloatwares! Just to ask, is there any "must install bloatwares"? Like the asus live update that is really useless and slow cpu down? Do give me some suggestions and i dun think i have any fn keys probs after uninstalling the bloatwares

i nearly uninstall everything except power4gear, video magic, atk, atheros, fastboot, ETDware, realtek and intel stuff. other software are no use to me

Hey guys im just wondering if any of you experience this problem i had
Sometimes, after "waking up" from hibernation, my whole system started lagging tremendously. Although nothing much/heavy apps was running, even the background slide show is stop, Its dam laggy doh.gif 1 core(change randomly) is maximize to the fullest. The only program running using lots of resources is svchost.exe (around 100k mem) but under normal circumstances its also running around that amount of mem. Then when i restart....IT TAKES 5 MIN shakehead.gif doh.gif . Sometimes i had to hold the off button to off it manually. After doing so everything is back to normal. The problem occurred again it "wakes up" from hibernation.
Dam this is soooo frustrating!!!!!!!!!!! vmad.gif doh.gif Before and after i reformat, the problem still occurred. I really hate Asus software laugh.gif

Now, when you say you reformatted, do you mean with the restore CD that includes all the bloatware? Or like a proper stock restore CD?

The best thing is to do a complete wipe, get a copy of Windows 7 of the same version you have now, then use the CD-key you have from ASUS that way it's legal and install a complete fresh wipe. That usually fixes everything.

Note: Don't have this N53SN laptop... too poor sad.gif

When you reformat using the hidden partition or CD there will still be bloatwares

Why must I get a copy of Windows 7, its a bloody waste of money. I already have this and I just need to delete some stuff after reformat.

I can't swap cause the problem is the software and not the laptops hardware.

Anyways, you can't really find the "perfect" laptop. Every laptop sure got some problems. Lets says, HP~Heat Problems laugh.gif , Lenovo~Design problems(internal) or they just like to lie to customer, Asus~ Driver problems maybe?. Honestly the N53SN is great cause of the specs and the design. Combining both makes this laptop worth to get but like I said everthing has a flaw. For this model is the driver problems but nothing too serious. Nv drivers so far working perfectly btw, nothing wrong with Optimus even though accused by many ppl of having problems. And if your afraid that something might happen during your usage, you always remember that you still have 2 years global warranty.

I would not call my self unluncky, maybe lucky??? lol. Im still quite satisfied la cause it did not cause much prob as my previous laptop. During gaming everything works out fine. I even got the boot up time to be normal.
So why worry, nothing is perfect in this world nod.gif
