I guess I don't know what SriLanken cultural norms are about this sort of thing, but at least here in the US, it wouldn't really be insulting to go to the gift giver and say that you really like the...

You could send it in for an OOW repair. I have a little OOW estimation tool, but the number it gave me is ridiculously low, so I don't even want to give it because I'm 99.999999999999% positive it's...

You can also purchase a copy of the restore media from the Asus eStore if you're in the US/Canada.

Unless the issue is the GPU sending corrupted data, then a software generated screenshot won't show the issue to anyone else. You'll need to use a camera to take a picture of the display, and then...

There should indeed always be a red light emanating from that port when the unit is on. So if there's not, then I forget if there's an option to disable it in the BIOS/UEFI, but that would be one...

I'm actually kind of working on cleaning up some documentation in preparation for a sticky post on something like this. Not sure if I'll get to it this week, but keep an eye out.

Anyway, as I...

Could you send me your past RMA # Hartacus? PM or email would be fine if you don't want to post it here.

And just to update this a little: Someone just came by my desk to hand me one of these rubber feet. So as soon as I have a name and address to send it to, I'll try and find someone who can put it in...

I did a little checking around the back channels, and think I located a source for those rubber feet. So if you want to send me an email or PM hacksign27 with your name and address, I'll pass it...

Hard to say for sure without a lot of specialized tools, but I'd have to say that if multiple boards caught on fire in the same place with the same config, then the problem is not likely with the...

You can get copies of the restore media from the Asus estore if you like.

If the unit is under warranty, I should be able to set up an RMA for just the AC adapter. It'll have to wait until Monday, since I'm out the door in about 30 minutes and not planning on coming back...

If you're in the North America region, you can PM or email with the serial number and your previous RMA # if you have it. I can look it up. Outside of NA, then I'm afraid I can't do much to help, but...

Keeping the shop talk to a minimum here: Brandon sent out an email where it clearly listed the Vulcan AND Orion Pro for a Jan release date. So you can ask him for a copy of the email.

This gets asked a lot, and ultimately it comes down to a matter of personal choice. It really doesn't help or hurt the battery either way. For every point you can make on one side, there's an equally...

Never said it was a thrashing state, so not sure where you're trying to go with that.

I was just saying the following: I have a system with a Core i7 870, 8GB of RAM, and a 2GB GeForce 550Ti....

Had to make sure I wouldn't be violating any NDAs before saying anything, but the Vulcan Pro should be released in the US this month. So just keep checking your favorite Asus reseller(s) for when...

Well, I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one. I have actual evidence which I outlined above. A game that should be easily within the abilities of my computer couldn't even run at 720p...

The answer kind of depends on the circumstances.

It can be done to migrate boards, but it takes some work and you MUST have a retail copy of Win 8. I forget the specifics, so you'll have to do a...

Yes, and no you shouldn't. The swap/page file should NEVER be turned off, unless you have a very specific reason, or just enjoy tempting fate with a good old fashioned thrashing state.

Not sure this will necessarily apply, but I ran into something similar over the holidays, so might be worth a minute to check.

Amazon had both Darksiders games for less than $10, so I bought them....

Not sure why people seem to be under this impression still, but ODDs are probably one of the single most common components to fail in computers. I'm not sure why that is myself, but based on around 3...

Generally speaking, you send the unit in under an RMA, when they see the pins are bent they will classify it as CID (Customer Induced Damage) and then you'll get an email with a repair estimate.

Like most things, batteries tend to follow a normal distribution curve. Some will die very quickly, most will die at around 250-350 charge cycles, and some are seemingly immortal. Which one you get...

I was going to list off a few things like download "accelerators" and the like, but then you had to go and say it happens when watching YouTube videos. So now I'm left with saying you should test...
