Hey everyone ! A bit problem with my G55VW here..

Every time I fire up my laptop then after several hours (sometimes not even 1 hour) my WiFi suddenly lost connection . I didn't do anything ! Here's a couple of screenshot :

The system tray shows a normal icon that I'm not connected to any network , when choosing which network to connect suddenly there's no network to choose AT ALL . I've updated my drivers . Any advice ?

Thanks in advance !

did this happen after you have updated your driver? which version is the driver now? intel or atheros?

I use the default Intel Centrino Wireless N2230 . Seems that the driver is updated to the latest version before and after I encounter this problem . As I mentioned before , I didn't do anything !

hey everyone noob question here !

1) if I send my g55 to asus centre lowyat can they remove all the virus inside my laptop without formatting ?

2) my g55vw was initially win7 until i digital download win8 earlier this year . if I factory reset , will it move back to win7 or the earliest version of win8 ?

thanks in advance !

using Realtemp , my average cpu temp during normal browsing is 48-58C (Balanced power mode, 5-10% CPU utilisation) but when gaming with Battlefield 4 it spikes at 88-95C (High performance power mode) . both are room temp , placed on hard surface . is this normal for other g55 out there ? btw i never knew the normal temp of my g55 when first I bought it cry.gif

it's quite normal since u never re-paste thermal before. check out our first page before and after repaste by tonberry_ax . i think he shows the GPU and CPU before and after which is quite impressive smile.gif mine are sort of abit higher coz haven't re-paste again after quite sometime (busy and lazy) hahaha
*
now thats a relief laugh.gif and yes never did thermal repaste before probably gonna do that a month before warranty expires lol quite lazy too . btw my laptop is quite dirty . habuk or not i keep sumbat into the tiny rog backpack whenever i go home and back to my college

yeah smile.gif good decision. u should repaste before warranty expires. smile.gif just buy a good thermal paste and ask them to repaste.

haha same la.. my laptop also very dusty.. had to clean the vents every now and then. so lazy ripping apart the laptop =.="
*

just received my g55vw after sending for warranty in lowyat . my review :

1. it took them 5 working days to get my requests done . pretty ok
2. they cant reset my windows 8.1 as i requested , so back to windows 7
3. if u like trend micro they install them again , free trial for 1 year ! but they also install some stupid bloatwares
4. the backlit on the keyboard now NEVER works .
5. they claim they replace (not fix) the hdd and cd tray but my transfer speed (WD my passport usb 3 to internal hdd) still hovers around 30MB/s
6. i told them to repaste (the said they replaced the vent or heatsink or something) but the cpu temperature literally doesnt seem to drop (reached 83C before gaming ! is that even possible !?)
7. sometimes (periodically and constantly) even when im not gaming the fan suddenly starts to make noise , cpu temp increase but the clock speed doesnt get affected as i use Balanced power mode . this NEVER happened before sending to warranty .
8. i encountered several (ok, alot) heavy lags but maybe its because im installing apps and stuffs again but the lags are totally ridiculous

bottom end : dont send for warranty . my next laptop will be lenovo

4. have you installed atk package, then reenable the keyboard backlit using fn+f3/f4 combos?
5. it's not about the hdd i think. it's either the usb 3 daughter board, or the wd my passport. have you updated the firmware for your wd my passport (if there is any)?
6. you should run the laptop at the service center and show them what happen;
7. this is normal. the one i think weird is there was no fan noise when you play games (mine is also turned on and off like yours)
8. the lag part might be due to a lot of things. one of them is the antivirus.
*
my main concern backlit keyboard . the atk package is installed v1.0.0016 , all the hotkey works except turn on/of wifi , increase/decrease keyboard backlit , and disable touchpad . a video in youtube (alot of ppl say it works) says you should run HControl.exe when when I run it nothing happens . help !!

5. Run those disk benchmark with ur usb 3.0 devices attached.
6. We're not sure if they actually did repasting.
7. Most likely this is related to 6
8. Lags as in? May i know if the hdd is 5400rpm or 7200 rpm? Bad sector/refurbish hard disk replaced in 5?
*
lag as in it took a solid 5-10 second (normally 0-2 sec) to launch an app that requires a user account control verification . and what does "Bad sector/refurbish hard disk replaced in 5" means ? 1tb i checked and definitely 5400rpm as per stated in asus website . they said they replaced the heatsink set which means it was pre-pasted in the factory . do u have the solution to my hotkey problem above ? thanks !

if you refer 'all windows and system apps' to windows-only installation, plus the drivers (boot drive), it should be fine. it might also be ok to install ms.office into it, too.

technically ssd's are not hdd's. you need to take into accounts several things in terms of space:

1. over-provisioning: this means leave certain amount of unallocated space for ssd use. (normally 10 to 20% of the total capacity) this is a good practice.

2. pagefile, virtual memory: these things take up space. if you have enough ram (16gb or more), you can safely disable pagefile or virtual mem (set it to none). this helps in recovering more space from the boot drive for other more useful purposes. of course, it depends on your computing usage, or the type of apps that you're running. if you require it, it's better to let the system manage it.

i suggest you get 250gb range (240gb to 256gb). with that you can put the most common played games into the ssd also. game load time is much much better.
*
money is definitely the factor here sad.gif . my ONLY 2 reason to install SSD : playing BF4 and faster boot time . is 120GB seriously enough ? i mean , I can transfer all of my apps into different drive , right ? is it possible to have 2 Program Files in separate drives ? googling doesnt seems to help rclxub.gif . thanks in advance !

p/s : since installing ssd yourself voids the warranty (and im pretty afraid to do it lol) , I plan to install SSD at asus service centre 2 weeks before my warranty ends
