No need to worry to much. Just try and use it few more times. You will get use to it very soon. I also faced this problem before, but now is okay for me

If you're not playing BF4 then this problem won't occur right ? I think it is your BF4 file which cause this issue. Original game shouldn't have this problem though

You get to ILLEGEAR on Friday or Today ? You said afternoon but now is still 10.30am. haha
So your problem been solved already ?? Update us

So did they replace anything besides RAM and screen ? Your laptop is still with them right ?

I see. No choice since you need your laptop. If not you should leave it to them and let them have a test on it.
Well I didn't use any SSHD cause I feel it won't make much different, especially once you had an SSD. I used 7200rpm HDD. I think you should install your OS in SSD and just treat the SSHD as a normal HDD instead.
Try fresh install the OS to SSD and see whether the problem occur or not. Wish you luck

I see. That is nice to know he manage to change his screen FOC. Did you guy change his ram FOC also ? If I remembered correctly he also encountered a BSOD which is most likely caused by the RAM.

Perfect condition except the outer part got a bit of dust.
How you use it ? So fast torn.. Mine is older that yours but still working fine

Well maybe some sharp thing cut it.
Mine is just fine though. Maybe you can sew it back again. Nothing serious I think.

Alienware Orion or Vindicator. Those are very solid and can stock up quite an amount of stuff inside.
I had an Orion, my dad is using. The space is larger and IMO better than ILLEGEAR backpack. But quite big and heavy if fully loaded.
But ILLEGEAR backpack is just good in its size. Quite fashionable also, looks better than others

You need to "hard" reset it. When you charged you laptop to 90 or above, switch off the power adapter and then unplug it. Wait for about 30 seconds or more then plug it in back and switch on the power adapter.
Now it will show not charging when it is 90% or above. The reason why it charge till 100% is most probably you're charging it from 90% or below, so it will straight away charge it to full.

First try to reset your speaker settings to default. If the problem still persist then you need to send it back to ILLEGEAR to have them check on it.

You can change it. At your system tray, right click TouchPad > go to TouchPad tab > change touch pad settings > Scrolling

If you're not hardcore gamer and DOES NOT play much high demanding games, then gtx960m is sufficient for you. High demanding games include : COD, BF, AC, Watch Dogs, Witcher, Wolfenstein, Far Cry, Crysis etc etc.
You're able to play most of the previous year game on mid/high settings 1080p, depending how demanding the games is. Eg : You can play Dota 2 at ultra settings, COD AW at high settings, both on 1080p. You CAN'T play Far Cry 4 in high settings 1080p.
Note : Anything less than 60fps is considered not smooth and not playable for me.

Yes Z5 do have it. But don't expect MacBook like touchpad experience from it because both are using different architecture. Different ecosystem also

Z5 with gtx970m is tempting, but I would wait for review first. The main reason I bought my Z5 is because of its cooling. There is benchmark conducted by ILLEGEAR that show Z5 with 860m has great cooling. Try ask them about the cooling with gtx970m first.
I would not rush to get a product which cost about 5k and in the end get something which doesn't meet my expectation. (Yes I know a lot is rushing to make an order because of GST )

Since you already paid for the product, what for to worry about it now
Quite unlikely they will give you a full refund. So just hope it is not so bad. I think it will be around 70 - 85 degree C when under full load. If it goes beyond that, it is really bad IMO.

I think even s5 has 3 fan, it is still using the normal 5 heatpipe pattern. So it won't make much different with 2 or 3 fan I guess.
The only down side for getting Z5 970m variant for me is the lack of PCIE SSD slot, 1 less HDD storage and maximum ram supported. Otherwise it is the cheapest 970m laptop in the market.
Z5 comes with IPS display by default so it is cheaper also.
If you configure your S5 with IPS, it will cost about 5.4k though

Do tell me about the price for changing my Z5 to gtx970m and gtx960m also

Hey bro, how is your Z5 now ? Still got any BSOD issue ?

I guess you got a lemon unit ? So far, me and Arvinaaa didn't encounter any of these before. I think maybe we bought it without any promo / during "peak period" like before gst. I think they can't test the unit thoroughly one by one as the demand is too high for them. I feel sorry to you on receiving a laptop which is not what you expected.

Just contact them, they will fix it for you ASAP. I'm also from Melaka, I even carry in my laptop to their showroom at Damansara to have a screen upgrade. They did it in < 2 hours.

Actually we did inform you all before purchase that every brand has lemon unit. And also you need to consider the warranty service type and area coverage (if you choose onsite/pick up). ILLEGEAR is good in term of price spec ratio, but don't exclude the warranty service coverage area to be like other big brand as they are not as big as those brand like Dell.

Hope your problem will be solved soon. FYI, Prince J just replied that Z5 with gtx970m so far is the coolest among all ILLEGEAR laptop. 71 degree C after 1 hours of furmark test.

P/S: To others who is yet to purchase, DO NOT RUSH IT. Z5 is good, but it support up to 16gb ram only. There are only 1 HDD + 2 mSata SSD slot. Display is AHVA.
Edit: Corrected ram support error

Good to know then. So no more BSOD. haha

Sorry about that, want to type 16 but my mind haven't wake up yet
Thanks for the correction.

Yea I know your feel. But it is okay as long as they are willing to solve the problem for you. Prince J already asked about more details on this matter. So just get back to him and he will try his best to help you. If it is hardware defect they will most probably replace it for you.
I suggest if you have a replacement, have them do some testing on your unit also before asking them to send it back to you.
Built quality wise, mine is still working flawlessly.
