I've been using my G53SX for about 1 month now... and I have been facing weird / random system hang with the laptop. Have any of you guys faced this?

It is totally random, can be during gaming, browsing, or simply leaving the laptop on. When it happens the HDD LED is solid / permanently on and I need to do hard reset.

I've googled and tried various fixes, including uninstalling Windows SP1, and I've also uninstalled the ASUS hybrid power thing and have the system defaulting to High Performance. I've tried chkdsk, HDtune pro and don't have any bad sectors or problems with the HDD.

What could be the other things I could try?

no idea why you're so mad... just said x51 is desktop so babycookie would know, since you didn't mention it was a desktop

i no angry at u la wei 

and i no angry babycookie also... i mean how cud u get angry at such a cute name..

Hi guy,just wanna ask
- Where I can find new ac adapter for my laptop G73Sw? ,kaput already T_T

according to a rep from gentechpc.com

only one model will use the gtx670m .... which is the g75

sadding news for potential g55 owners

i agreed.. then, do u know/can u recommend me the version that suit to my choice?
Thats mean, non 3d version can only support 3d in 3d tv..
1. But wat about the 3d version meaning..
sure that it will consumed more power/kill batterylife fast..
2. Then how does it runs on the display.. 24 hours 3d? any option/how to disable/enable it, adjust the hertz???

mm.. but with 3d.. i will get the 192 bit faster than the non 3d right??.. mm..

2) What is the benefit choosing 3D 120 HZ version?

3) If I don't choose 3D 120 Hz can I then tweak me display to 120 HZ from the 60 HZ on the G74SX?

4) I have some extra 3D glasses can I use them at all - if i get the version without 3D?

answers..

1) You'll have faster boot times.
2) 3D gaming w/o using red/cyan glasses, looks better. Also the 120Hz panels are brighter and matte, so better to use with reflective light.
3) If you don't have a 120Hz panel, you're limited to 60Hz.
4) You can do 3D on non-3DE machines, but only in red/cyan mode, and at 30Hz.

hi guy, i have a problem rcently
when i play game for about 5 mins
my screen will suddenly go black
but i can still heard the background music
then i have to close my laptop lid n open again n the screen come back
is it the same symptoms as describe by some member b4?

the weird thing is it only happen during game
when it is normal usage like web surfing, PS, video and etc in windows, it is fine
so far i only tested arkham asylum and NFS the run
but previously they worked all fine
i can even play them for all day long without any issue

previously was on 285, then when i encounter this problem i update to 295
still same

so any fix to this bug?
is update to the latest driver solve the issue?

just found the source of my problem
when my screen goes black during game, i accidentally press on the right side of the touchpad (between the touchpad and spec sticker), n the screen come back again
but when i remove the finger, the screen goes off
then i suspect is the magnetizer problem
i place  a small magnet on the right side of touch pad, the screen back again
but my question is, why does this only occur in gaming?
is there sth faulty below the touchpad there?
anyone who open the case b4 can tell me what is hidden belowe the right side of touch pad (between the touch pad and specification sticker there)
thanks

hey guys,

Hey guys, im currently using a g73 asus notebook.

Wanna ask you guys does ur hard drive activity completely goes to 0 when you dont do anything at all? or there are some C;/NTFS file going on for like 7kb/s on ur disk activity. cause mine has the NTFS thing running on disk activity eventhough im on idle.

You can check urs at task manager > performance > Resource monitor > Disk activity

But does it runs all the time? althought its not like the disk activity light keeps blinking, its blinking for a fraction every 6-8 sec..

anyway, is there an option to turn of page file/cache running?

How much does ur disk activity reads when you off everything and let it sits idle?

does G53SX-S1208V come with backlit keyboard?

the whole laptop material are rubber made? or certain part only?

anyone can upload that backlit keyboard picturE? 

cannot find in internet...

still comparing with HP DV6-6168TX, G53SX this beast win at dual HDD and real gaming card.
kinda worry about rubber base, after month of wear and tear.. dunno will melt or not.. 

any pro here can recommend some good laptop cooler for g53sx?i ady bought one and when on full load,the gpu temp is at below 80c..is it normal?

thermal paste?

i mean when it arrived Malaysia the mark up 3D model for G55VW usually will be RM4999
but it wont be so fast arrived in Malaysia.
