A question about USB soundcards. I saw creative's usb soundcard. And it's about RM1xx? Is it better than A42JA's sound quality or the same?
*
asus a42ja user here.. the on board speakers suck. but there's no point getting a usb soundcard la. Just use headphones or external speakers

I cannot play bf3 beta because i keep getting this error. Looking at the details i think it has something to with Microsoft visual C++ redistributable. I tried uninstalling and downloading all the vcredist from the microsoft download center. Tried googling for this, its quite common. But reinstalling the game didnt work. Cleaning my registry didnt work.

Any fixes for this?

guys, nowadays my laptop goes up to crazy temps when playing games, even for a short while (15mins). according to hw monitor its about 90+ deg..

last time when playing bfbc2 for hours my temp only reached 85 max..

so is it dust buildup? perhaps its time for a reformat hmm.gif

hi there,
is there anyone here try to clean the dust for A42JA before?

coz i seems like couldnt get the access to the fan.
only able to take out the cover for ram and hard disk.

QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Nov 7 2011, 11:07 AM)
You would need to totally disassemble the notebook to reach the fan..

will it void my warranty if i do that?
Lol .. good luck man, hope u can fix it and take some useful pics =D
coz mine is running like 60 ~ 70 idle, when play games it will shoot up to 80~90
*
err.. i think your temp looks normal to me. for me normal idle temp is around 60deg. playing games after long hours- temp is usually <90deg. so looks like your laptop is functioning normally biggrin.gif

By right, the warranty is void.

Laptop seems to be doing badly with the new nvidia drivers and updates of windows. Plus, it seems to have a fan problem. Which probably leads to the bios thing.

I've heard that winflash is a dangerous way of flashing bios, and the last time I tried it, Windows flashed a BSOD stopping winflash from updating the bios.

EDIT: Also, my computer's CPU tends to range between 70-95 percent, when there's nothing on. Occaisionally I get the Driver Power State Failure BSOD.
*
cpu usage you mean? see task manager if there's any suspicious programs running. maybe do a complete scan for virus

Hey guys,

I own an Asus A42Jv, and realize that the bottom corner where the fan is at becomes extremely hot even when I raise the laptop from the table (Laptop fan but fan not working) when I play games.
Anyone else experience this? Any way I can improve the temperature?

Also, I heard if you upgrade your laptop's HDD to.. some hybrid thing.. it will improve the overall performance?
Can it be done for this laptop?
*
quick way is to blow into the vent on the left hand side. you should see a cloud of dust come out from the bottom.

Can Asus A42Jv upgrade to 4GB 2GB ram?
*
you mean 1x 4gb and 1x 2gb? yes it should have capacity for 2 ram slots.

why not go for 2x4gb instead biggrin.gif If your OS is 64 bit la. if its 32bit then 3gb is the maximum..

it said 5730 got hot issue then 6730 might got. 5650 they said will make the fan noise. hmm.gif maybe cos i'm 5650 user.
*
lol dont worry so much about temp. im using the 5730. sure its hot after gaming (80+C) and yes the area below the keyboard (handrest) gets hot. but it's only normal for this kind of laptop level. But after 15mins or so the temp drops back to 50C hehe biggrin.gif


QUOTE(jorakman @ Nov 24 2011, 12:23 PM)
There is one asus salesperson he told me to go for GT540m

He used previous asus model with 5730m to play games Call of Duty. He can feel the heat start at the keyboard.

Then he play the same game on the asus model with GT540m. There are fan noise and can feel the heat coming out from heat sink. But the laptop will not feel as hot as the one with 5730m.

Conversely, there is a sifu say that in consensus most pro will say ati 6xxxm series is cooler than gt5xx series. In fact most sifu on forum say 6730m is better.

......confuse........

Hi. You are using asus laptop as well? A/N/U series?

So how does 5650 perform? so far so good? Will it get too hot easily?
*
5650/5730 is old.. last years models have this. yes its get hot. but see above

QUOTE(markypcs @ Nov 24 2011, 01:44 PM)
How much is one 4GB?
On a tight budget bro, and I'm just using it for gaming and normal laptop use.
I read 4GB is enough for normal gaming.
*
yes 4gb is already sufficient imo.

hai. just bought u46sv on saturday. it seems that some of my function key(eg voulume n wifi) doesnt work. but brightness function can function. is this related to software or hardware? can i fix it myself?
and everytime i restart the laptop, the icons appear on the desktop. but i have unchecked the show desktop icons. what's wrong ah?
really worried coz a few days use already got problem:(
*
you mean the blue FN keys? just go to the asus website and download and install the ATK package for your laptop model. should work after that.

for the icons.. can give a screenshot? you're talking about desktop shortcuts or the icons on the side taskbar?

To get rid of the desktop icons- just delete the shortcuts la lol. the programs itself will still be there laugh.gif

Increase boot speed: start> type msconfig in the search box> click and go to startup tab> disable unnecessary programs start up like skype/msn/utorrent etc. so when you boot up your PC these programs wont launch by itself

already done that. installed soluto too. but still doesnt make any big change to boot time. what's the key for BIOS during start up? i want to enable quick boot in bios

to enter BIOS is either DEL or F2 key.. check your laptop manual or ASUS e-manual

Bro, i just bought Asus k43u last sunday, but i bought the FreeDos version... Can anyone lead me to someone who provide windows installing service on this laptop... Thanks in advance all
*
installing is easy bro.. you can buy the win 7 dvd yourself. then during startup press F12 to access boot priority menu. Change boot order 1 to your dvd drive. Then save and restart. When your com restart it will begin the win 7 installation. after its done change back your boot order to your hard drive where your installed win7.

done.
