If cnt find in Fancy Start, then no idea o...

But i never used FancyStart b4.. Let me explore it first.

Yay yay yay, thx very much.....

Clean format using Windows 7 came with the laptop or unmodified Windows 7?
Is the screen like this after you used the laptop for some time, or happened right after you boot your computer?
Did any specific action only, like playing music trigger this?

PS: try update your nvidia and intel graphic driver to the latest.

Wondered the same thing before, but I think cannot. Unless you can modify the ATKMedia software.

Me?

Currently not yet, only the WEI assess Intel GPU instead of nVidia, so the score is low.

Added on February 27, 2012, 8:58 pmIf it happens:
Check if the computer is hot (abnormally).
Try to tilt the screen back and forth.

Oh ya, can restart solve the problem? And the Realtek Driver is from Asus website or from Realtek?

Try downgrade the Realtek Driver to the original version (from factory) and play music, c if still happens.

PS: It sounded like 'Warranty Time' for me...

Agree.. Seems like the laptop already have problem when you buy it. Jz bring back to the shop, show them the video.

Mm, actually is all the N43SL Special Edition one.. 3 wallpapers (Google), 1 BIOS boot sound, 1 BIOS boot animation (extract from N43SL BIOS downloaded from Asus web)

No la, jz extract the thing from N43SL bios. One .wav file and one .gif file.

Sure.
Download the N43SL BIOS from Asus, and then open using 7zip or any archiver.
Find the .wav and .gif file inside those folder. (All random names)
And extract.

That's only if you want the boot sound and animation files for N43SL.

Here's my computer now.. A lot more to do for this

Haha, thanks

Did you got 7zip? or any archiver? WinZip, WinRAR......
If got, then right click the BIOS, and find 7zip or 'which one you got', then open archive.
Got a lot of weird naming files in it. Jz go search folder by folder, anything with extension .wav and .gif, and extract them.
Try what you extracted oso, coz they all random named.

(This GIF file cannot be used by FancyStart to make my BIOS boot animation, so I used it for Windows boot animation instead)
If want to make like mine, grab all the 3 N43SL wallpapers oso from Google.

1. Start with BIOS boot sound. (Using FancyStart and a video/sound/wav converter)

The .wav file is incompatible with FancyStart, so have to convert using this setting-->PCM,Mono,Bitrate 512 kbps,Sample Rate 32000 Hz,Sample Rate 16 bit
(This settings I found on Youtube. Check out his amazing boot oso )

Then after convert add into FancyStart using 'Single' option, and drag the time to 3 seconds.

2. BIOS boot screen (Using FancyStart, Photoshop or any image editing)

I use the pink J image, then change the 'pink' to 'golden' using Photoshop to suit my 'Golden' theme. (optional)
Also added an Intel logo found inside N55SF BIOS (also optional)
Then convert to 1024x768 resolution (may seems stretched, but will look fine later)

And then add using FancyStart, single option

3. Windows Boot Animation, the 'incredible J' animation (Grab the Windows 7 Boot Updater, google it)

The conversion from .gif file to the boot animation file takes a very long process, too long to write here.
Will upload my savefile later, and jz open using the software and Apply.

4. The logon screen (Can use any logon screen changer, or this TweakLogon but I used TuneUp Utilities)

I used the image with Jay Chou's face. I think using this software is easy, though I never used it before.

5. Wallpaper. Jz the same J as BIOS boot screen.

I can upload all the modified image and sound later and PM you, so no need to do the photoshop or conversion and no need the BIOS oso.

Sorry for the long step bro.. Hope this helps. Anything jz PM me

Update: Here's the fileincredible J.zip
Got 3 ori wallpaper, 1 modded wallpaper, boot sound, 2 boot images, 2 Windows boot animation

Actually there's no need for faster fan speed, the original BIOS manages it well. And laptop can withstand higher temperature oso.
If you wan, you can modify the BIOS yourself, but I strongly not recommend it. You will tamper the warranty and may get a bricked motherboard.

Haha welcome

I think his laptop model is written there... N45SF

Added on February 28, 2012, 7:01 pmI nearly bought a 15" sleeve, but looks small to me. Cnt find 17" here.. Your 14" one is flexible? Any brand?

I used Speedfan, but no manual fan control for me, only the automatic fan control option.

I think is Intel chipset. Try install all the intel driver in e-Driver.

Ntg special for 1 and 6, like the up and down

fn+C = change Asus Splendid mode
fn+V = run Asus LifeFrame
fn+Space/MusicNow key at top left = change Asus Power4Gear mode in Windows.

*only if you have them installed

Welcome

Actually Power4Gear Hybrid is recommended, it can save some battery life

The left media keys are actually harder to press, if you observe closely.
At first the keys will felt bigger than normal. After some usage it worked very smooth, makes my PC keyboard felt smaller..

ASR, Dirt and MW3 sure no problem on this lappy, maybe not maximum graphics la

OCed a bit before, but performance increase really not noticeable.. Good thing is the temp din increase at all after OCed.

Added on March 1, 2012, 8:53 amDell seems to be using their own firmware for their HDD, so I think this will not apply to ours.

I think it is not BIOS driver, is Atheros Wireless Driver, update 2012.2.21. This is recommended
