Sniff...Oh Why did this have to happen to such a good laptop? Why!!! :wipes away tears.
I'm sorry... Don't look at me....

Compressed gas in a can from Walmart will do the trick...

Get the shovel...

... or sell it on eBay for parts.

The internal clip in the Audio jack may be broken or bent. See http://forum.notebookreview.com/5879478-post337.html for more information.

As I understand it, a poorly-seated GPU or RAM chip in slot 1 will prevent the laptop POST (but I thought you'd still get a light or two). I think it's still worth a check before you bury it in the...

Your overheating GPU is downclocking, reducing your FPS.

1) Blow out fan intakes and exhausts with compressed gas. Open the bottom and blast the fans. If this fails to return temperatures to...

Eye Strain?!?!! I don't know what you're talkin' about....

I think your system is leaking Pool Nonpaged memory due to what you've installed on it or from Windows 8 components. The only way to recover the leaked memory is to reboot your laptop. When you put...

Yep - You're SOL (as they say in the biz) for any type of software solution.

1) Win 7 or 8?

2) Can you access the BIOS at all by pressing F2 at startup?

3) Did you continue to hold down CTRL+HOME on the startup attempt to initiate the Crisis BIOS Recovery?

1) What version of NVIDIA driver are you currently running?

2) Have you upgraded the NVIDIA driver since you got the laptop?

3) What applications have you installed to this laptop?

4) Has...

And have you tried the following since Crisis BIOS Recovery:

1) Restore default settings, then Save & Exit?

2) Disable Secure Boot and Enable Launch CSM in the current BIOS?

Do these allow...

What was the result of your attempt at a Crisis BIOS Recovery?

In that case, I'd try holding the CTRL+HOME keys down on startup to initiate a Crisis BIOS Recovery. The hidden BIOS file must exist (as it does in the ASUS Factory Windows installation) in the root...

If you disable Secure Boot and enable CSM in the BIOS, does your laptop boot?

OR at least recognize one of your drives?

1) What Power4Gear power profile are you currently running? Confirm it is set to "High Performance".

2) What is the temperature of your CPU at idle (no other applications running)?

3) What...

Were you tinkering in the "Boot" tab of MSCONFIG? If so, return it to the default settings. See http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?24400-G74SX-Not-boosting-above-2.0-GHZ-after-reinstall.

I believe if the GPU is poorly seated or defective, the laptop will not POST. Otherwise, you may need to tap it again with your witches broom!

If some or all of your RAM is accessible as in the other G Series laptops, remove and reseat it. The laptop will not POST if the RAM chip in slot 1 is poorly seated. While you're at it, reseat the...

My G74SX also shipped with a clear protective film over the webcam lens. Be sure to remove that or your videoconferencing images will be blurry.

It sounds like your laptop audio jack has a bent internal clip, similar to that reported in...

If you look in the Windows System Event Log at the Errors or Warnings prior to disconnection, do you see an "IP Address Conflict" error? This could indicate a defective Router that is incorrectly...

You can use Windows "Backup and Restore" to backup your drives and the Windows System Image.

You can then download a Windows 7 SP1 ISO file that is the same version (Home Premium 64-bit is...

Several users in the same boat report their experiences in http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?15327-Asus-G75VW-Black-screen-on-boot-up. It's most likely a hardware problem, so you did the right...

Over time, the Windows registry can become bloated and corrupted from multiple installations and uninstallations of software. This can lead to multiple problems.

If it's been more than 2 years...
