just asking, how is the performance like?

also asus fans, when the A series gonna update to haswell chips?
-if u guys might know..price for i5 3337U will drop kao kao

start>msconfig>enter

check startup programs & services

Startup
untick all updates, unwanted programs but not Anti-viruses

Services
hide all microsoft services and untick all related to
adobe/google/bluetooth etc junk

reboot computer.
shutdown
turn on computer. if still slow like 2-3 mins then u got a problem.

btw, OEM startup's are usually slower esp if u dun remove
-junks like the games, and camera tools, fancy pancy stuff.
-didnt clean registry after uninstall junk.
-or overall ur computer is full of junk/hhd close to full adi

If still under warranty

go straight to yowyat plaza top floor, asus sc, because
-going back to shop or 3rd party may take ur parts and swap them
-itz easier to track ur laptop repairs

hinge broken <1 yr should be able to claim, memory too cuz faulty.

Asus N53SN

recently i dual boot DVD caddy sata2 win8 and main hhd bay sata3 win 7
(2 separate installation, on 2 hhd; while installing, other hhd is removed)
it gave me hell, after updating win8 drivers.

after win8 is all setup with drivers for 1 week, microsoft updated my win 8.
upon reboot, my win 7 1st went corrupted, forcing for repair no matter what i tried (safe/chkdisk/recboot/etc)
then because win7 was corrupted, win 8 states that there is a disk failure and just reboots itself upon startup
managed to pull everything, reformatted both drives to all 000's and reinstalled win7

now i realised that the light switch (Intel/blue to nvidia/white) stays on white.

if anyone here happen to have the lights switching thing,
question is
1) if u are happen to run the latest nvidia (14nov2013) does ur light switches?
-HD3000 is not the cause, i just updated from old to latest no fix
2) is it related to ATK drivers? (also installed the latest from old still no fix)
-is this trustable? anyone used it be4? http://n53svwindows8.altervista.org/
3) any clues on whats broke it?
-don't want to reinstall fresh win7 factory, worse of i have to uninstall nvidia/rollback

try reducing ur touchpad sensitivity and ur touchpad palm tracking technology
and also remove/disable panning/rotating and shortcut startup.

works for me.

Look into the asus G series or a
Gigabyte AORUS X3 Plus or an
Alienware or a
Illegear
or get a desktop
laptops will never be as stable as a desktop class processor

fan old adi, wanna die/no more grease.
or vents got dusts cannot breath so spin faster.

get coretemp and get a reading.
if 50-60~ range and making alot of noise then fan dying.

this forum kinda dying.

dun bother getting i7 processors.
hardly any software uses it. (only few games and illustration/rendering software)
Excel will not utilize it and i5 is preety capable for everyday work these days.

my choice, Asus A555LJ-XX032H – 15.6 / I5-5200 / 4GB / 1TB / GT920M 2GB / W8.1 : RM2040/-
why? (based on work use/portability/battery life) (not based on gaming, rendering, no budget)
- i5 latest gen, graphics latest gen 2gb sommore.
- 15 inch is more portable. unless this will sit at home table never move.
- Full hd is not useful for 15 inch screen as the icons will become smaller.
- w 8.1 can upgrade to 10 for free (T&C applies)

all the seller all building up stock to sell with gst
all cheating the buyers, this world people cheat people, then blame govt.

Btw, the top 1 is carrying last year GPU, for the same price as the one i mentioned.
battery life will be significantly different.

matt i think only a few models have them (like the U series)
U series are very thin and only for work, main game jadi panas 1

or u can be like me and take a matt plastic and tape it on the frame
that way no dust enter and easy to clean while have some matt reflection benefits.

With most laptop aging slowly and not able to run newer games,

have anyone ever tried this product?
http://www.banggood.com/EXP-GDC-Laptop-Ext...d-p-934367.html

just curious.

interesting idea to mount a full size GPU for a laptop.

Since few of us are using i7 in laptops with 16g ram and ssd config,

the only drawback now is the GPU

anyone heard of this before?

*inb4, mod/TS if this is wrong section, u can help move.

if it comes with 8gb ram and 256 ssd, why u want to upgrade it further?

8gb ram is alot to use for a normal laptop. dun tell me u want 16gb for gaming as without a fan it will not look good.

256gb ssd not enuf im sure can change but need the ultra thin spec ssd.
which has a drive space limitation.

define alot alot of email 1st.
2500 emails per hour all opening at the same time?

i think ur colleague computer too much junk and HHD failing that's y not responding.
check his startup entries and other bloatwares?

also if you want, you could also convert ur HHD to 250GB SSD while ur comp is new, (if your not saving a lot of things)
4GB should be enough.

if u can make a bootable usb with ubuntu OS, then boot into ubuntu.
if ur keyboard works normally in ubuntu,
then it is windows update that screwed ur computer up.

or if u are totally lazy, restart, spam F8 button,
select repair ur computer, then with the sign in part test ur keyboard.
if it types ur login name or password correctly then is windows screwing up in the previous update.

i had this with another laptop be4, whole keyboard malfunction and works in other os.
something to do with asus atk drivers and windows keyboard/update.
bloody annoying to solve.

no idea, depends on ur keyboard design

put ssd in hhd place, hhd in dvd rom space better.

then perform clean os install for ur ssd with ur hhd out of laptop.

non of this will void warranty. (unless to access to access hhd/ram need remove total back cover)

when claiming warrenty, just remove ssd, put back hhd in place and dvd rom back then can adi.

1st thing 1st, start backing up your files. ASAP.
(hard disk problem being reported is very very bad for hybrid ssd/SSD, as u may not boot into the hhd ever)

then u can start the diagnostics below.

try shutting down and booting up without battery inserted.
if things are normal, then your battery failure; just replace.

if u boot up and get any error such as memdump or temp related,
and the battery removal did not work,
time to change to full SSD perhaps.
truth be told, 24GB cache is not a lot and who know if it's mlc or slc type or worse tlc type.
if TLC then i guess the error is prone to come very soon.
If you download a lot of ' 'content' ' for the last 2 years, then this is highly likely the case.
i suggest getting a 250gb ssd or at least 500gb ssd if so.

I would say the hybrid ssd is most likely the cause as when shutting down, the memory cannot dump and keeps trying hence not shutting down. moreover, u forcing it to shut could cause some corruption within the drive system files. so more and more error will prompt up.

If changing hhd/ssd did not work, then it could be bios update needed.
maybe some update u recently got can't match the current bios.
proceed with caution as flashing wrong bios will rekt ur motherboard and your whole laptop.

correct me if i'm wrong.
i did all this research long when i was choosing hybrid and ssd.
SSD sill best esp MLC/slc hardware.
newer hybrid is much better than your older hybrids.

1st is the ssd os a direct clone from the hhd (as in all ur programs are already preloaded when switched?)
if so u need reformat clean, as the junk is carried over. if not:

check processes (task manager) for spikes in usage.
check average temp (coretemp) for cpu throttle (if runs high 88'c+)
check background services (anti viruses, etc)
check if slowdown occurs while using chrome (chrome is a big hog)
check unwanted startup programs (windows key + r > msconfig > startup)

lazy to respond these days

Some questions like repeat nya and can be found in [search]

Daily workhorse still,
renders everything fine,

just no more 'high' gaming anymore since im now pushing dual setup with 1980'
keyboard is the most trashed component since now the wasd buttons have latency issues.
basic workload temps at 60-62'c, stock hhd no errors, so yeah healthy.
