Random restarts and blue screens on G1S with XP

in discussion Asus G1S Wiki Forum / Windows XP on Asus G1S » Random restarts and blue screens on G1S with XP

Hi,
I have installed windows XP according to the instructions that can be found here. Everything works fine but from time to time a blue screen pops up or a random restart occurs. It starts to be very annoing especially when you lose all your work at that time.
Does anyone experienced the same problems or anyone has an idea how to deal with them?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

KaneStark

Asus g1s 3gb ram problem

in discussion Asus G1S Wiki Forum / Problems and Solutions » Asus g1s 3gb ram problem

Hey guys

Just upgraded my ram to 3gb and followed the instructions, however i went to check the dxdiag and system information but it still shows 2gb of ram…
Iv been googling for a answer but i still cant find out why it hasnt detected it yet or it has but not showing it as 3gb?
I was thinking maybe it has something to do with the bios not been configured properly? but other than that im stumped.

Would be awsome if there was a way to fix it or any suggestions.

Thanks
Glen.

I've read this topic and can say that probably I have another problem with USB.
I have 2 yellow signs in other devices category:
1 for USB device
1 for Basic system device.
Are there any drivers to re-install ? I didn't find it in the pack I useds.

And another question: do you know what to do if the image in my web-cam is rotated on 180 degrees? )
I tried to use options but it won't any success with it .

EDIT: Where are you, ASUS G1S experts ?

Hey guys!

I need to format my hdd and reinstall everything and I would like to use a display driver which is as new as possible… But it has to be stable - I had some problems with unstable drivers and do not want my laptop to crash again regularly.
Does anyone have good experiences with an up-to-date driver or knows one which is definitely running properly?

Cheers!

Edit: I want to use 32bit XP… Cheers!

Ok.

Got the Nvidia drivers working :)
Screenrate at the same settings up to 22 to 28 fps.
Nice improvement.

Hey,

I've been playing Age of Conan for a week on the Asus G1SN.
But I find the performance very bad..
When I put the game in 1024x768 res and graphics on low I get a framerate of 15fps.

Anyone else have any experience with AoC on the Asus ?

Note: I haven't downloaded the modified display drivers yet.
I'm planning on downloading the drivers tonight from: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers/vista

I also found a small posting that should allow a fps of : 25 to 40 by changing only 3 settings in the graphics configuration.
I'll update the posting asap :D

Audio Woes

I RMAd my B1 last week, (wouldn't power on) They replaced the MB, I got it back a week later and all was good with the world.

Today, my audio speakers stopped working. However:

The Headphone jack still works. I can listen via headphones or external speakers.
The POST sound effect *does* play through the laptop speakers on start up.
All "Sound" control panel and mixer settings are good. Green checkmarks on Speakers. But it doesn't seem to detect new plug-ins on the headphone port; it does detect plug-ins to the Mic and Input ports.

Since the POST sound effect works, I suspect it's an OS problem- and I've already tried to reinstall the Realtek drivers- no dice.

Any suggestions?

Re: CLICKING SOUND " HARD DRIVE" ?

BATMAH 1214900662|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
in discussion Asus G1S Wiki Forum / General Discussion » CLICKING SOUND " HARD DRIVE" ?

Clicking sound looks only a problem under Windows OSes, under Linux HDD is quite silent because system does not accessing it frequently during "office" usage.
Under windows you would want to decrease clicking sound by turning ON acoustic management for hitachi HDD.
To do so, download Hitachi Feature Tool http://softsearch.ru/articles/8-634-read.shtml
After running install you should burn created boot-able image to CD/DVD and reboot you lappy from that CD.
There would be PDF file on disk describing usage of HFT.

After reboot you should see that Acoustic management: Disable
and there are 3 option to change it to

• Disable
• Enable (Recommended value)
• Enable (User defined value. Use arrow key to select)

Theoretically using of acoustic management should decrease HDD performance, but practically its hardly noticeable.

Not a virus, simply go to AVG Resident shield->Manage Exceptions->Add Path and insert a path of asus directory, and all work properly.

Good job :)

Im having the same problem with my ASUS G1. After AVG updated, it detected MSNHOOK.DLL a trojan and now I cannot open Direct Console. It shows that the file failed to load. The time still shows but the lights on the side of my laptop are flashing and I cannot turn them off. I tried to look for a solution but have failed so far :( I hope ASUS and AVG have an explanation about this.

I remember trying the Crysis demo and had to play it at 800x600 or 1024x768 on medium to get around 30fps :x Is that because i used the demo?
