    Unable to cleanly shutdown/Sleep Asus G75VW

    I'll try it out when I get the chance. However, this is by no means a fix. I need the ability for a clean shutdown.

    Unable to cleanly shutdown/Sleep Asus G75VW

    I'll keep it simple. It's an Asus G75VW-BBK5 I got in November of 2012 (refurbished) running Windows 8.1 x64. It always plays coy with shutting down/sleeping. Whether I am closing the lid, shutting down/sleeping from the menu/tapping the power button, it will always log off, give me the...

    Random Reboots - Cannot reproduce issue on command

    I went to the Asus drivers website and downloaded the AI Suite and it said everything was up to date.

    Random Reboots - Cannot reproduce issue on command

    Whenever you post these drivers, how do you know they are out of date and that there are newer versions available? Some of these are pretty hard to track down. Sorry for these slow responses. Between 40-hour-a-week night shifts, Computer Science midterms, research projects, the post-graduation...

    Random Reboots - Cannot reproduce issue on command

    Ahh, think I spoke too soon. Had a random reboot while I was at work at about 12:52am last night CST. Then, just now, when I noticed my graphics drivers were updateable, I updated them and had a good old-fashioned BSOD (complaining about nvldmkm.sys). BTW, if I wanted to learn how to read dmp...

    Random Reboots - Cannot reproduce issue on command

    I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I have been running in Windows for a couple days now (after doing a fresh reinstall) and the issue hasn't come up again. I'm going to mark this as solved unless something comes up. No idea exactly what did it. I haven't reinstalled Cisco, but I may need...

    Random Reboots - Cannot reproduce issue on command

    Sorry, I hadn't seen this post until now. I have been spending the past few days booted into Linux Mint while I do some programming for a class. Booted back into Windows today and just a few minutes ago, the computer rebooted while I was across the room. When it came to, it was apparently...

    Random Reboots - Cannot reproduce issue on command

    I did some looking and AsUpIO.sys is at its latest version. It can be found by navigating to ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download Rampage IV Extreme, selecting Windows 8.1 64bit, going to Utilities, and downloading the latest AiSuite. When you extract the folder, navigate to...

    Random Reboots - Cannot reproduce issue on command

    I can't shake the horrible feeling that one of the very expensive components on this computer might be defective or damaged. Even if I did have warranties, replacing watercooled components is a massive chore.

    Random Reboots - Cannot reproduce issue on command

    I ran the Asus Update Utility that comes with the AISuite. Guess it missed that one. As for Cisco, I unfortunately need the Cisco VPN to access campus resources when off campus here at Illinois State University. I cannot do my computer science course work without it. I'll make another crash dump...

    Random Reboots - Cannot reproduce issue on command

    It did it again. About 4 hours ago. I have attached another report. I wasn't at the computer when it happened.

    Random Reboots - Cannot reproduce issue on command

    Hee hee, you have to respect an operating system that will give you detailed instructions on how to make it explode. I have added the minidump file from the manually initiated crash. Also, I realized I forgot to add the storage specs, so I did. As for the fixes provided, I'll let you know how...

    Random Reboots - Cannot reproduce issue on command

    I've been dealing with a bit of an issue with my rig for the past few weeks. The computer will randomly reboot with absolutely no warning and seemingly no trace left on the computer (no dumps, etc). At first I thought it was a bad power supply. I happen to have redundant power supplies so I...

    Wake on LAN stops working after a while of inactivity

    I am running Windows 8 x64 on an Intel DX48BT2 motherboard. The Network adapter is a built-in INtel 82566DC-2. Simply put, WOL works fine as long as I don't let the computer sit in sleep mode for too long. However, if I let it, for example, sit overnight, then it cannot be woken with a magic...

    Win 8 x64 blue screening (NDIS.sys at fault)

    Hello, I have had a couple blue screens over the past few days. I went to the trouble of running windbg to find out the cause but all I can figure out is that it is caused by ndis.sys. I don't know how to specify the symbol path for Windows 8. I would like to learn how to find the source of a...

    Adding exceptions to SmartScreen Filter

    Hmmm...that is strange. The unblock method finally seems to work. I wonder if it had something to do with unchecking read only in the properties menu...

    Adding exceptions to SmartScreen Filter

    SmartScreen Filter seems like a good idea on the face of things, but I think that a few changes are in order: 1. Allow user defined exceptions for frequently used applications.I am currently playing through Avernum: Escape from the Pit, a remake of a classic turn-based isometric adventure RPG...

    Will Windows 8 force quit resource heavy apps if GPU is too hot?

    So I have been having issues with Fallout New Vegas crashing to the desktop whenever I run it on high graphics (the default in my case). I just got done cleaning a lot of dust and hair out of my computer's radiator (it is water cooled) and out of my GPU's heat sinks. Here are my system specs...

    Release Preview still has gremlins

    I hesitate to call this a beta. Dev Preview was alpha, Consumer Preview was Beta. What we are on now is the equivalent of a Release Candidate. My understanding is that this means the engineers at MS believe that they have come up with an OS that could be released to the public. All features are...

    Windows 8 gremlins

    And you have the same Dell Studio XPS 1340 model that I have? Like I said, I wasn't able to switch to the drivers that you have on your video card because my computer keeps freezing while it is downloading. I'm back in my apartment so my faster internet connection might be enough to get it down...
