Hi guys got a question to ask. Is the dual hdd on the Asus G53sx support raid 0 config?

nope

wat is raid 0 config?

hello guys. im having this kind of problem with my laptop. when left idle for a while > 2-3 hours, the display will start to flickering and showing grey line. in the end, i have to restart the laptop. this happens when on intel graphic instead of nvidia. any ideas what is happening? i believe the temp is still within the limit 45-48C most of the time so i dont think it is overheat problem.


I suspected it is not the bad GPU since my laptop has 2 graphics and both were affected. but recently i upgraded the ram and the new ram i purchased have slightly lower clock speed than the original. is this can cause the problem too? because i test using memtest, the test failed.

hmm in a dilemma now don't know should I wait for the new model or buy it now, coz really love the zenbook like mad

what laptop are you using? as far as im aware Asus G-Series doesnt have Optimus/dual graphic switching
btw, u cant try removing the new ram and see how it goes. that could be the culprit

if u need a new laptop now u might as well buy it, no need to wait. the ivy bridge launch date have been delayed to June
Ivy Bridge Delayed
and there's also rumours that the new Nvidia 6xxM Series is just a rebadge of the old 5xxM series

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?

does it happen to all games or some game only?
The other members issues are from booting up the laptop not in the mid of gaming.

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

which version of nvidia driver are you on?

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

then I could assume it could be that famous 285 driver stopped and recovered issue causes ur blackout. Mine doesn't black out on game but it will stop and recover on desktop.

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

check NVIDIA forum for the registry fix. Or I-duno-how-many pages back had posted the solution.

still cant find the fix
i system restore to my previous restore point
the problem still persist
when i press alt+esc to windows
the screen show up
may i ask u, when ur black out happen in windows
does it show any error?
mine does not show any error

just bought g53sx recently, and i would like modify my backlit... the problem is, i can't find the right paper or plastic that been used in youtube.. for those who has tried it, where did u buy the paper?

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

I'll upload the picture 2moro.

do u have any bling bling on ur right hand/wrist? haha

This is what lying beneath the trackpad cover.
