2. install a new nvidia driver like this one "http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/24003-forceware-185-85/", to clear your driver I recomend driver sweeper. search for it on google or yahoo to install

3. If neither of these steps work right click computer>manage>Disk Management*. look in the status column and check if everything there says "healthy" if not then reply telling me waht it says.

ASUS G1S
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 @ 2.00GHz
Operating System: Vista Home Premium SP1
RAM: 2GB
BIOS: 300
Video Driver: 186.81 original nvidia
Screen Resolution: 1280 x 800

I am new of this forum.

I would need some help by you guys.

I have been happy of my Asus G1S for the last two years. Actually, since a couple of weeks I am having big probles:

Windows (VISTA 32 bit) keeps shutting down my pc showing a blue screen in which it says that there is problem.

By running the diagnostic tool, Windows says I have an hardware problem.
So I tried to reinstall VISTA two times…but it happens always the same thing after some minutes.

Note that, when the machine doesn't turn off by itself, it gets really slow in downloading and installing the Vista updates.
Do you say my pc is fucked up or is there a hope to recovery it?

Please help me

Bye

IM BACK WITH A LOOOOONG STORY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. in english i cant say many of that things i live to see in this time, but i try to say a little bit…

So after 8 MONTHS!!!! i became my money back from ASUS. my seller writted all 3hours e-mails to ASUS in taiwan. and on the last day of my warranty, i become the money back…

I had send this notebook over 6 six times to germany for repairing etc…

they let me wait over many weeks without answers…

so that was the last ASUS product i ever buyed. that damn support i never have been before.

this series have problems with temps. i think all modells of this series had it. so i wish you good luck to became the money back for this bullshit. all my hardware at home are from ASUS, i hope nothing goes down of that…

for asking i will be here…

In both Windows XP and Vista, the Realtek Control Panel shows a headset plugged in even though there isn't.
Newer versions of the Realtek High Def driver in Linux, both Alsa and OSS, show the same.

I loaded an older version of linux and the speakers work fine.

Given the above, it appears that the Realtek chipset that detects insertion of a headset has shorted in the plugged-in position. Drivers that have no plug detection work correctly as the internal mechanics of the port still function correctly. The only thing to do is replace the mobo, but an RMA is not doable for me at this point. I hope that Realtek, in a future driver, returns the option to turn off autodetection. This would solve the problem from what I can tell.

I've had the same problem for months now with my Asus G1-S B1. At 96 degrees it starts to give me this pulsating lag/stutter. ASUS KNOWS this is a known flaw in their design, but I have no idea what they are doing to handle this problem!

I have tried almost every single driver and downclocked it a few times. Now I think my only option is to buy a serious cooling pad and try that out. I hear the Zalman one is good.
Please let me know what ASUS tells you after your 4th RMA and let them know that they released a flawed product.

I've choosen the iDeneb way because It seemed to be really less long and difficult than the kalyway way on the other wiki post…I just had difficulties with the audio driver because the wiki page redirect to a broken post without link to download files that is needed, but except that It's a quite good working distribution for our G1S once it's fully loaded…(except cam, battery time?,standby…)

I had a talk with a guy on another forum who have installed the kalyway 10.5.2 distribution and who told me he didn't have to do any customization during the install process just click "next" and it's working properly no audio driver installation needed just had to install nvidia drivers and that's all…And he also talked about a very fast loading compared to me…about less than 30sec to have macOS loaded !

I'm wondering about reinstalling his way, but i'm just hesitating with this older release without last apple updates (he told me he installed the 10.5.6 update but keyboard and mouse didn't work anymore…so he came back to his previous install)

Do you have same feedback as me with the iDeneb 1.3 (and maybe solution to my problem?)and what about the other way to install MacOS on G1S…
The other guy told me he tried several distributions but kalaway 10.5.2 was the only one that worked "out of the box"…
Do you have feedback with iDeneb 1.4, or other distrib than the wiki ones?

The wiki doesn't seem to be really up to date, and especially with really usefull and basic tips such as keyboard layout…

thanks for your answers

thanks in advance

Sry for my english, i learn just school english and i'm from switzerland…

to my problem.

my g1s goes to 96°(GPU) and then, afer 15min i think, it goes laggy. the FPS is over 50, but its just lagging.

so i called the asus support since 4 months. the first RMA, they cleaned it, but the gpu is after this on 96°. so i made another RMA, at this, they had change the hardware(MB, GPU, and all cooling stuff), but the gpu is on 96° again and goes down with fps.

so made another RMA, the 3rd one(!), they looked for the g1s and say, the problem is the application "Tune UP" but this was installed after the second RMA.

so i made the 4th RMA. At this one, they changed the hardware again, a new "generation" MB and the GPU 9500gs with 512mb. now i'm here, and the GPU is again 96°, but it doesn't go down with the fps at 96°, it's going to laggy after 15min. and the procesor(CPU) is on 80°.

so i want ask you, whats your temperatures of GPU and CPU with furmark??

after that, i took the phone and call ASUS in germany. they made me a solution. i should make a RMA, than they take the notebook, it goes to SwissIT Repair, they send it to ASUS nederlands, and they will look for this problem, is it there, they will give me the money back, BUT i'm just at the RMA, because ASUS doesnt answer me. i'm waiting for another 6 weeks now. on the phone they just say, "yeah we make it now".

i dont know what i should do? pls help me.

ASUS G1S-B2
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 @ 2.40GHz
Operating System: Windows XP Pro 32bit SP3
RAM: 3GB
BIOS: 300
Video Driver: 181.20 dox from laptopvideo2go
Screen Resolution: 1280 x 1024

I'm interested in installing OS X on my G1S. I currently have XP SP3 x86. For anyone that has installed Mac OS X, or has attempted what I want to do, can you still boot into the XP portion of the hdd? Is there some kind of bootloader?

Also, in the future, I want to quad boot when I buy a new harddrive for the laptop. I'm planning on using using XP SP3 x86, Vista Business x64, a linux distro and OS X.
If anyone has any experience with quad booting, could you please tell me in what order I should install the OS's? I read online that XP & Vista should be installed first, followed by OSX and linux last.

Thanks for any help

Any question give me a call :P

Although the NVidia drivers under Windows Vista (32 and 64 bit) work perfectly.
Using Linux seems to be a problem.
When I install the Nvidia drivers under Ubuntu the system goes into stanby mode.
After browsing the internet I found that this problem can be fixed by upgrading the Bios to the latest version.
Haven't tried it yet.

Do the default drivers work ?
The work for me, in the higest resolution (1280x1050).

Unfortunately G1S and G1Sn BIOS's are *not* compatible. Worse, it seems that there is no updated BIOS available for G1Sn. See Bios for G1Sn and G1S in Asus Forum.

So, it seems that you need to operate your G1Sn with 2GB or 3GB of RAM. Having 3GB is not that bad after all, when using a 32-bit operating system. Yes, I know, it bugs anyway not being able to use full 4GB of RAM.

THAAANNNKKKKSSS…..

This might be related to BIOS problem. Please see Upgrading G1S BIOS for how to upgrade the BIOS to version 300.

Before you upgrade, you may want to test if the problem disappears when you use just 2GB/3GB RAM. If the problem disappears using less then 4GB RAM, the you need to upgrade the BIOS.

Any suggestions as to what is wrong or how to fix it?!?!

(my g1s is replaced by g1sn mobo with NV 9500gs 512mb, memory 4gig, bios 202, enhanced sata)

I hope it works for u guys…

I've got T9300, 4GB ram and nVidia GeForce 9500M GS 512MB

Obove is the URL for the Asus G1S parts list that they have avialable. If anyone knows were to find the motherboard please post a link. Thanks

I've got Asus G1SN-AK022G with Vista Ultimate 32bit EN and PL

How to interpret the results:
The SM2 + HDR scores show the most reliable performance results in 3DMark06. Real world game results may differ from 3D Mark 06 results so you can also base your opinion of which driver is best off of the real-world game results. If you are unsure or picky about drivers then I suggest you install the driver with the highest version number; they have higher version numbers for a reason - even if performance is similar they tend to have more compatibility/ stability/ performance fixes. If the latest drivers give you problems then explore for yourself which ones you think are best, or ask someone!

No overclocking used. System tested on is to the left. Benched using 1280x800 no AA

I'd really appreciate it if somebody give us a hint to fix it.

Thanks
