If you get too worried about the temperature, u can use throttle stop. reducing the speed of CPU when it's turned on. Can aso be used to disable turbo boost

Guys, I just bought the N45SF yesterday from the pc fair. I tried to flash the BIOS to ver. 219 earlier this morning.
So I downloaded the bios from the support website and went into Asus Easy Flash from the BIOS.
Upon selecting the BIOS file, a message popped up saying something like "Bios update version does not match. Force to update anyway? (Y/N)" Then I thought, "It's from the support website anyway, might as well do it." -Presses Enter key on the "Yes" option- Now, I am absolutely sure that I have downloaded the BIOS from the correct model site.
All seemed fine, it was updating well. Until the "BB" part or something finished, the screen turned black but the lights were still on. So I waited for awhile, tried pressing keys, nothing responded. About 30 minutes later I unplugged the A/C Adapter and the battery, turning it off cause I thought it hanged or something.
Then when I plugged the A/C Adapter back in and pressed the power key, it didn't turn on.
Help would be appreciated on this matter. D:

While updating the BIOS I had my battery and A/C Adapter plugged in, by the way.

can ur lappy enter os now?
i dont know whether ur bios successfully upgrade or not?
if still can enter Windows, try get the 218 version instead n flash using the "WinFlash" app from the start>> All program >> Asus utilities ... file..

how to operate/use the throttle stop~ ?? can it reset the the cpu to its standard..? can u guide me wat should i press from the start?

Thank you

Haven't had any real problems with high temp yet so can't really comment on it. Perhaps you should get a notebook cooler?

make sure u have a 'tick' on your 'disable turbo' n make sure it's turn on. den if u wanna further reduce temp, u can tick on the 'set multiplier' n reduce it to maybe 20 or less. then you will see ur speed being reduced to 1.9GHz

ok..
how to reset it to my system default setting?
tq

is there an side effects on using throttle stop app?

default ah? just close the program, will turn back to normal speed & turbo boost normal

Added on December 5, 2011, 7:59 pmerr none so far. I don't think throttle stop can overclock a processor. problem won't arise when u slow ur processor down, it will always arise when you increase the speed beyond normal like overclocking. but u need to ask the pro about this question as i might be wrong.

Haha, no. Totally cannot turn on. Button not responding.
Sent to Asus repair centre just now.

ic, probably something went wrong when u are flashing bios. So basically ur motherboard chip now are useless(coz if flashing fail, motherboard won't operate and consequently all things won't start). Did u tell asus about the flashing thing?

Yup, they said they will help me with it and will contact me tomorrow. (:

bro u clean ur CPU & GPU using alcohol swab? xD

nope xD Coz i don have alcohol swab that time. Just use tissue paper to wipe it off and clean xD. I pm-ed u the whole thing ady xD. Feel free to pm me or drop me a message if u facing any problem xD

oh i saw ur msg d paiseh ask again TQ bro at least i know roughly what to expect XD all the hardware & ports one way install only izzit? i have no way to install wrongly?

ya all of them are perfectly fit accordingly la. Only the screw u might wanna worry about lol. some are long ones some are shorts one

hahaha might take some time XD so thermal paste method pea size on the centre of chip or spread method?

depends on u actually. Personally i prefer spread method(with finger). Others prefer just put a bit at the centre and straight away fit back the heatsink ady

Quickie,

I just did a clean format, now at ASUS DVD drivers...

INF Update driver
IRST
Intel Management Engine Component
Keyboard Filter
ATK Package
Intel Turbo Boost Tech Monitor
Fancy Start
Splendid
Fast Boot
TrendMicro <-- If I use MSE, I don't need this anymore right?

Can anyone point to me from all the above, which ones do I need to install?

P/S: I'm at the current screen showing which to tick or not...

Added on December 5, 2011, 10:14 pmFrom page 1 guide made by Simon, the after reformat apps installed, are those needed by the systems is it? I mean of course there's P4G which is also recommended and all, but all that aren't in his list of installed programs, I will not need it as well right?
