Same as yours.. haha
I will stick to mine also. I think I won't get laptop from now on. Will build rig when I have the money. More budget friendly. haha

You need to give us the details of the BSOD. What error code is that ?

If you have friend which got similar output power adapter, try using it. Or try to use other version of Windows, make a small partition for Windows 7 (no need for genuine as you just want to test it out).
Also, if you can get your hand on a voltage regulator, try using it to monitor the voltage and current which goes into your laptop.

Erm.. If Windows 8.1 is a must for you, then try a clean installation first. Make a system restore point before you update it. Then update your windows and drivers and create a new restore point. Try and see for about a few weeks or months. If there is still BSOD, revert to the restore point which doesn't have any windows update.

If you want to do it the hardcore way, test it for every software you're using.
I suspect it may be software driver issue. May I know did you install any pirated stuff ? If I remember correctly, last time I tried to use a pirated P2POver on win8.1, in the end my system file is corrupted and poof BSOD

Oh ya, try removing all USB plugged device, be it mouse or hdd or any other thing before you shut down your laptop.

P/S: If your data is not really important to you and you don't mind your data is gone, you already can download the Tech Preview of Windows 10. It is quite stable as of now, but no full features yet. It seldom crash or BSOD, but incase sh*ts happen, I would want you to know beforehand.

From the website, it is still IPS/AHVA screen. So either the website is outdated, or they are using a different brand screen.

You pre-ordered it ? Steam file just 60gb >.<

Well I guess I'm lucky that my Z5 is v1. No screen bleeding or dead pixel problem.

The article is talking about desktop gpu, gtx760 not gtx760m. Take note about the M postfix.
GTX 760 > GTX 860M

I think there is no screen which has no bleeding issue. Almost all screen I had seem have slight bleeding. My v1 Z5 IPS panel also have slight bleeding, but it is unnotice-able though, even in low light. I need to switch off all light and be in a completely dark room I just can notice the bleeding. If your bleeding is too serious, try ask whether there is a replacement possible. Like what other said, I hardly see any manufacturer exchange a new screen for bleeding case.

Good to know then. But I seldom see manufacturer replace a screen even though it has serious bleeding issue. Well at least that is my case. lol

Good to know. But I suggest to have a check on those laptop which are going to be delivered for this issue. Since you all are doing stress test and other testing on the laptop before delivering it to customer, I think it is better to add in this test also. At least it can make sure the bleeding is not as serious as the case for freeze.

Yea, I hope you guys can check a little bit more to ensure it is in perfect condition since there are 2 people involved already. Don't make people think the QC of ILLEGEAR is bad
I think if you want to capture the image in low light condition, phone camera is not good enough. You need DSLR or Lumia 1020. DSLR and Lumia 1020 have better ISO value compared to others.

It is almost like my screen. I find it okay. But didn't you just said you can realize the different and bleeding even when under normal usage ? If that is the case then you should opt for a replacement since ILLEGEAR accepted your case.
Mine is quite similar to yours, but slightly better. Mine is working fine tho.

Well mine is almost like yours. I find it okay tho. So yours should be fine.

Just google IPS screen bleeding. It got a lot of cases like this. Well for me, as long as when under normal usage it doesn't affect the display and sharpness, it is fine for me
If Prince J allow you to exchange for a new screen then you can decide to have a replacement or not. If not no point to go any further

It is good to know ILLEGEAR agreed to have a replacement for you guys, but do note the new screen MAY BE BETTER or MAY NOT BE BETTER. So if you agree to have a replacement, please don't complain later on okay ?
Just be considerate to ILLEGEAR team also, since they're bearing the cost for you. You can try out other IPS screen, like monitor or laptop. You can more or less see the same thing. (Ignore those 1.2k++ quality monitor)

Welcome to Z5 family

To install OS on your Z5, whether it is genuine or un-genuine, the procedure is the same. (mostly)
Download the OS installer, burn it into an ISO format into your pendrive. Plug your pendrive in and go to BIOS and load your pendrive.

Asus G751JT is a good option, but only if you can ignore Asus bad after sales service.
If your budget can go up to 5.5k, I recommend S5. If not Z5 with gtx970m should do fine. AW is too OP IMO. Z5 gtx970m is the cheapest currently, RM4999
I'm not sure AFTERSHOCK is still in Malaysia or not. Their Malaysia website had been taken down. Try contact storm88 to ask whether they still provides service and warranty claiming for AFTERSHOCK or not.

Few correction,
- Most of aftershock laptop is cheaper than ILLEGEAR. They provide lifetime free thermal repaste also.
- Both Z5 and S5 does not have Optical Drive
- Z5 have 3 storage slot: one 2.5'' bay + 2 mSata SSD. S5 have 4 storage slot: 1 m2 PCIE SSD + 1 m2 SATA SSD + two 2.5'' bay
- Z5 max ram supported is 16gb while S5 is 32gb
- S5 have more display option
- S5 is using triple heatsink + fan (Z5 cooling is better tho)

What you mean by "checker" tile ? Can show me a picture ? Cause mine is like what the picture displayed
