Hi folks,
A couple weeks ago I bought the G752VS and after 2 days the notebook started to give me the infamous black screen on boot. I installed every update that was considered "critical" by ASUS after I turned it on for the first time - Windows, Nvidia drivers, BIOS (306). At this point I have no idea what might be causing the issue, I've scoured many forums including this one but is seems that the issue is unique to each machine - in my case, after I hit the power button to turn on the machine or to wake it up from hibernation, the screen flashes with 18 small distorted ROG logos (with the red part purple instead of red) and what follows is the a backlit black screen. To make it work I have to forcefully turn it off and turn it back on again. It's as if it wasn't getting enough juice the first time.
No one ever mentions seeing multiple ROG logos on boot and it sounds GPU related, but I have no issues with the card while playing games..
I've already tried turning off hibernation and fast startup, disconnecting all peripherals before boot (this worked 2 times in a row but sadly the issue returned). Weird thing is if I turn the notebook off and turn it on again within a couple hours, there is no issue. It only appears after a prolonged period of being powered down.
What I have not tried (mainly because I do not trust myself and fear "bricking" the nb for good) is resetting the Windows or flashing the BIOS to a previous version.
Any advice on how to get rid of this annoying issue on an otherwise great machine would be much appreciated!

Im sure ASUS knows. Keep in mind you bought a machine where this is ASUS' first go at installing desktop graphics into a laptop which IMO is a huge mistake. If you want a desktop, build a desktop. Much easier to take care of problems when they arise and the problem everyone is seeing here would not be replicated on a desktop unless you unplugged the fan header.
Below is a picture of a Strix 1080 AG8 heat pipe and fan assembly, the heat sink assy is about 10x3 inches. When this is at full load all 3 fans spin up to pump 3 times the volume I get out of my G752VY machine and at least twice the heat. Im pretty sure its the same heatsink on the 1060 and 1070 as well. Just to give you an idea of what is being attempted in a laptop where this monster could never fit and you are cooling a 1070 GPU and a CPU with less than half the heat sink that comes on just the GPU. I know it doesnt fix your problems but should quite accurately convey as to why you are having them in the first place. Compare it to putting a 572 Chevy big block into a Camaro with a 6:72 blower and using the heater core for the car for cooling.......not going to work very well.....
