Thanks, I found out that the model is the JW.
In the sticker on the front, it only shows a J.
So, all drivers and BIOS from the JW work right?
Thanks!
hemoglobina, actually Asus has a tradition of not continuing to update driver downloads for models that have been out for a while.
The JW/JX/JH predate the JS/JM/JZ, an dnow the G751 series is coming out - all with the same basic hardware - CPU, motherboard, disk controllers, audio, ethernet, wireless, and so you can download the newer versions of drivers from the newest models.
Also, Asus keeps central locations for types of drivers, and then seem to update those whenever a new model and new drivers are posted.
Here is the list of places I look for updates for my G750JH; the best way to get a stable fully functioning G750/G751 is to update all the drivers / apps to the latest Windows 8.1 release.
The G750JW/JX/JH/JM/JS/JZ download areas haven't had new updates for a while, BIOS updates still happen in your model's support area, so check there from time to time.
The G750/G751/551/500/etc share the same basic hardware components; check support download areas for new hardware for newer drivers.
Asus maintains central support areas for hardware component features common to all products, those areas usually have the latest drivers after new hardware releases, sometimes there is a lag before the newer drivers show up there, so still to new product releases support downloads for the latest drivers.
Asus G751 Support / Download areas - Asus hasn't updated all the versions of these support areas, this link discusses the 3 locations were started independantly and not sync'd/updated through to the latest driver releases - check them all to be sure.

Then you will have a bootable USB 3.0 16GB flash drive to recreate the out of the box OS / disk configuration.
Make sure to remove all other USB storage before creating the recovery flash drive with Asus Backtracker, it has been known to erase other devices connected.
When restoring, like to a new SSD or to recover from a disk loss, be sure and again remove the USB storage devices other than the recovery flash drive, and also pull the 2nd Bay drive as it will get reformatted/partitioned if it is left in during the restore.
Let us know how it works out
