QUOTE(AZIM@ILLEGEAR @ Oct 31 2017, 03:04 PM) Hi Lochi since the GPU (and alse the CPU) is soldered on the motherboard, a complete motherboard replacement is needed for the GPU change later, kindly note. I see, how much would it cost anyway for a complete replacement upgrade ?

Can also try to set to Powerful under Sound Effects > Equalizer in the Realtek HD Audio Manager Thank you for the reply. I tried all of that but still the output wasn't as good as i expected. Maybe my expectation was too high. haha .I guess Z7' speakers wasn't meant to be as powerful as it look ><" Using external speaker so i guess still can live with that haha =D This post has been edited by ghliang: Nov 4 2017, 11:41 PM

At the moment, there is a bug within the BIOS that causes the touchpad backlight to turn red at random, but kindly note that it is normal and the color change does not signify any alert/special indication regarding the laptop status, kindly note. For the panel, we haven't tested the overclocking capability of the panel but I assume that you've tried this method already? http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/ps...optimus.802167/

Hello Illegear.
My Z5 version is Skylake with GTX960m.
My current SSD is ADATA SP900 M.2 Sata 128GB and 8GB DDR4 SODIMM.
I would like to check whether my Z5 is able to upgrade the SSD and RAM ?
If yes, any recommended SSD and 16GB RAM ?

Hi iFake Yes you may change your SSD to HDD to higher capacity, please note all your slots have been occupied and you need to remove your old SSD/HDD for an upgrade.

Hi Anonymous34, is it possible for you to run MemTest for the laptop? Kindly download the software here http://www.memtest.org/. You can also install " BlueScreenView" (a freeware program) to trace the BSOD errors encountered. Once listed, you can also PM us us a snapshot of the BSOD errors later for us to perform a remote inspection accordingly.

But there are a few stop codes in the picture This is one of them PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.-What failed: NTFS.sys Filesystem error? I think its ram rather than ssd This post has been edited by Anonymous34: Nov 9 2017, 09:36 PM
