Hey everyone. I've realized through some searching that this problem is pretty common among users of the Asus ROG laptops, but I have yet to find a straight answer on how to fix it. Basically, in most games I've played on this computer (TF2, Fallout NV, L4D2, and CoD4 are the ones I've noticed it in, with Fallout and CoD4 having it the worst), the game will be running as it's supposed to, but will occasionally freeze for 1-3 seconds. Sometimes the sound loops, sometimes it doesn't. The time between these freezes is quite sporadic; sometimes it's only a couple of minutes, sometimes it's 10-15 minutes, and sometimes it doesn't happen at all. With the exception of the freezes, all of these games run at 60+ FPS on maximum settings, so in general I could not be happier with this machine. I would, however, really like to be able to fix this problem (hopefully without having to send the laptop in for repairs). Thanks for your help!
