I bought Asus X750LB, i7 4500u, 17.3 FHD display, 16 days ago. At first installation of windows 7 pro 64bit, after nvidia drivers, BSOD occured with monitor.sys error. Upon restart, it resolved and entered windows. I have updated windows, drivers, bios, but while playing mp3 music in media player - the sound keeps crackling. I changed drivers, realtek, microsoft, still the same. Enabled sound in BIOS boto - crackling is present even on boot.
In event viewer there is a constant warning in event viewer Kernel-Processor-Power Event ID 37:
The speed of processor 0 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report. And after 3 days of usage - it began to reproduce a high pitch noise. Similar to this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSKqlttAp-4I have manually set the processor idle state do disabled, it removes the high pitch sound, but the cpu is extremely warm then and the fans run at 100%. Impossible to work.
My question is, should this be considered for RMA?
