Sori 2 interrupt. But 'm wondering if i made a wise choice buying A43SV (i7-2630QM, 8 Gb ram, 640gb HDD, Nvidia GT 540M, DVD sup. MTI ODD & 24months warranty) @ rm2999 ?

p/s: 'm an engineering student n a gamer(btw, 'm @ chapter 6, DEAD SPACE 2)

but i prefer 14" coz it lighter n easier to carry around...
BTW, how much is MSI GE620DX ?
p/s: wondering how far gt 540m can b O.C-ed or does it have modded driver?

Dear sifu Lee_what2004,
I found this
"Overclocking result on A42JV using SetFSB with setting = ICS9LPRS365BGLF by lee_what2004" on the 1st page.
So, 'm wondering if I could overclock my A43SV with SetFSB ?

Thanks in advance...

BTW:
Reporting IN
Asus A43SV

Cooling pad?
I just bought myself a rm19.90 cooling pad (unknown brand but pretty sure it's from china ).
Then, I smashed my old coolin pad n add the fan(still workin) into the new one.
btw sori 4 low quity pic, crappy cam phone.

p/s: 'm a cheapskate. Dun like it? BITE ME.



Attached image(s)

Used CPUID hardware monitor version 1.18, 2 took MAX temps @ idle(untouched for 15min or so) during night without A.C or fan n closed window:

Condition Temps
Without cooling pad : 61 c (Avg of 61,63,59)
With modd cooling pad : 55.3 c (Avg of 54,58,54)

Note:
-Dun know whether the software is accurate or not.
-Testing starts as soon as Sifu lee_what2004 posted the question.
-Temps were taken taken @ same night/morning(look @ my edited time) without restart or shut down but didn't took room temp.
-Used A43SV: i7 -2630QM, Nvidia Gt 540M with working optimus ( GPU-Z 0.5.4 proved it by indicating drop in clock ).
-Using cheap cooling pad. So, i dun xpect much temp drops.

Btw, still a NOOB n please DON'T b ANGRY WITH ME if the result is INVALID, 'm always nervous around a Sifu .

-updated again

Dear sifu lee_what2004,
I want to speed up my boot time.
Could u suggest me what should be enable or disable in System config (msconfig) ?

I managed to fix those crashes n BSOD by loading win7 in safe mode n select normal startup in system config.(later, restart)

dun know how to run BlueScreenView from ur sig.what is a sig? noob alert here.
btw, just forget that I asked, coz my boot time( without tweaking msconfig) already around 1 minute or so.

Need confirmation/Help ASAP.
Does using notebook without the battery(while plugged to wall) will currupt the OS(Win7)?
I met a ASUS dealer (not the penang royal club) in perlis, n he told me that using notebook without the battery(while plugged to wall) currupted the OS(Win7) while pointing the ASUS Power Hybrid logo on my NB( dun know y).

I didn't believe him n give my A43SV 2 some1 else 4 formatting.
btw, he said RM30 for data backup n reformatting.

me.
make sure u format it n re-install all the drivers(latest) 1st bcoz it tends to BSOD a lot.

maybe la.
After a clean format(I lost all DATA ) n re-installed all latest drivers. My A43sv is finally working well without BSOD (xcept when tweakin la ).

BTW, the ASUS windows7 recovery partition is unavailable(unable to access it, although I pressed F9 ).
Do any1 know how 2 fix this?
Please dun say I've 2 sent it to ASUS hospital .

p/s: a friend of mine said that i've 2 use the recovery DVD(burned by ASUS AI Recovery) if formatting is needed.

the Recovery partition is STILL there.
After reformat, it was recognized as e: , but i already remove the latter(not delete the partition) n it's hidden now.
However, 'm still unable 2 access it during booting(pressed F9 like crazy la ).

if u got receipt proving u upgraded when u buy it(same store n same time, same receipt), then it's okay.

if upgraded it after buying it, remove it.

@ sifu lee_what2004,

got any software to determine wat the source of BSOD or auto fix?
sometimes got bsod: memory management n sometimes PFN_LIST_currupt
aledy run win memory diagnostic- shows no problems.
RAM DDR3 a- 4gb samsung 133 mhz - fine
b- 4gb crossair 133 mhz - fine
aledy run "fan speed" software (under tab S.M.A.R.T)
hdd - fine 93% fitness n performance

apologies if I offended u by askin u too much Qs since u r NOT a BOT.

BlueScreenviewer.exe used.
NOW tell ME WTFishball is wrong with my A43SV?



T.Q in advance
