Every day the ROG forum grows with new members, and they got either issues with their new notebook, or questions about how to get the best performance off their new beast!
In this thread I will give you some advice about where to start with your notebook.
[Optional]
If you got a new notebook or have an old one that doesn't work properly as you want it to do, the best thing is to make a factory restore.
For that you don't need a recovery cd to do it since there is a hidden partition (as long you haven't deleted that partition) in your notebook with the recovery settings on.
When your booting up your notebook, hit F9 when you see the Asus logo, then you should be able to access the hidden partition and then you can choose between different "modes" how you want to reinstall your notebook.
Choose the option that you prefer your notebook to be installed like then follow the steps from there.Or you can download the Win 7 file and do a clean install from there:JRd1st wrote:
Windows 7 Home Premium w/SP1 Integrated ISO
(burn to DVD with Windows Disk Image Burner for install disk, use activation code on label under notebook)
After a clean install you may want to install some drivers back on your system:

This is the basic driver set:
Chipset driver
Intel RST
Intel MEI
Fresco USB 3.0
nVidia Graphics
Realtek LAN
Realtek cardreader
WLAN (Atheros or Intel, depending on your machine)
Asus ATK Package
Touchpoad (not absolutely essential, since the generic MS drivers is quite functional)
Bluetooth (if present and needed)
Realtek audio (not absolutely essential, depending on your usage)

Applications that you don't need (
bloatware) is good described in this other
FORUM.
So if you want to get rid of programs that you don't know what is, or not sure if you need it, that site is a good site to start on
🙂(It's recommended to have P4G utility, but you don't have to use that program. If you want the features of the FN keys (and backlight in KB if you got) the ATK package is the only program you need then).
Then you should do some update on your notebook to get the latest drivers, and the Windows Update utility is a good place to start.
Begin the updates from Microsoft Update utility and let it go on by it self in the background, when you're waiting for the updates to finish, you could start download other software for your graphic card, chipset, processor, WIFI card, touchpad drivers and so on.
Graphics: Chipset/processor: Other programs/applications: If you need AV/security programs I recommend: I hope this gives you an idea of where you can start with your notebook if you got issues
