Has the Asus G71GX-RX05 GPU problem been fixed?

Has the Asus G71GX-RX05 GPU problem been fixed? And if so what do you have to do to fix it.

hi vanhelsing.
i know that asus was working on an updated BIOS to fix the GPU issue, and according to the last post in this thread on the asus support forums (http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20090627114124765&board_id=3&model=G71Gx(BestBuy)&SLanguage=e...), rev. 1201 seems to have done the trick.
i checked the asus support website (http://support.asus.com), and i found that there is an even new version of the BIOS - rev. 1302. i would recommend moving to this BIOS upon unboxing your G71GX.
i have updated the BIOS on both notebooks and desktops before, and the process is fairly painless. i found this link off the asus support site (http://support.asus.com/technicaldocuments/technicaldocuments.aspx?root=198&SLanguage=en-us), and it describes how to update the BIOS. i would recommend having a conversation with your local geek squad if you're not comfortable doing the process yourself.

  • So has the 16 bit Windows Color problem been fixed on the 27" 4850 iMacs?

    I had pretty much given up with the whole driver debacle involving trying to get 32 bit colour in Windows 7 on my 27" iMac.
    Just wondering if apple had fixed this, or if there was any more info to get round the problem.
    Cheers

    As a first workaround, install the ATI Catalyst driver package (i.e., the mobility version). However, since the ATI driver is not 100% compatible with the probably by Apple adapted firmware of the iMac ATI graphics card, this workaround will still suffer on some crashes (esp. at 3d games) and suffer on some problems on wakeup after (deep) power safe sleep, at least on my iMac. At least, this approaches solves the color banding issue..

  • Has the K8N Neo2 Platinum bios poroblem been fixed?

    I work at CanadaComputers, and well we've been having this problem w/ people purchasing the K8N Neo2 Platinum, and a 3000+ winchester, mainly because that it wont post becuase the CPU is 90NM, where as the bios that is shipped w/ the board only supports 130NM.
    I was just wondering if that was fixed or something because people that still buy the board from us, have this problem. Are we getting just the older versions of the board (the june build i think?) or has the problem just not been looked into?
    Luis

    Interesting that you work there. I bought an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and AMD64 3000+ . How are people finding the Asus A8V DX and Epox 9nda3+? Any problems? I may sell my MSI and grab one of those, and actually could easily get it from CC. I don't care if I lose on total speed etc. I want stability and less problems. I haven't even put my PC together and gotten it up and running and the list of potential problems is daunting. That and the fact that I happen to have a Matrox G400 video card which won't even allow me to start my PC! Arrghh. Either that or grab a Sapphire 9600XT even though I hardly play games.

  • What happened to the Asus G71GX-RX05 Laptop?

    I still see this item listed on the best buy website at the link below but it does not allow shipping and is not available at any of my local Best Buy stores.  I've done research on this laptop and would REALLY like to purchase.  Is it still available?
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9366​615&type=product&id=1218092150740

    Honestly no, I am not informed on incoming shipments. I would wait for the next model to be released and jump on that. You can also look at the G51 unit. It is a little less spec wise and has a 15inch screen.

  • Why has'nt the 523:523 problem been fixed.

    Why  has,nt the 523:523 problem been fixed. I am now getting the problem when I try opening info from web sites

    Please use a 32 bit browser to open any PDFs in the browser with Reader, since it doesnt support a 64 bit browser.
    The executable for IE 32-bit is located here:
      •  C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
    The executable for IE 64-bit is located here:
      •  C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
    Hope this fixes the issue.

  • My ipad has the message-This ipad hasn't been backed up in two weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi.  I press ok and nothing happens.  I have it locked, plugged into wall, and conected to wi-fi.

    Go to Settings, iCloud, and then Storage and Backup.  You will then see a button to backup your iPad.  It may be that you have much stuff (i.e. photos, apps) for it to do a full backup but you will be able to tell what the estimated backup should be and what it will consist of so that you can choose to prune down items.  If you don't want to backup and get rid of the messages you can just turn backup off from this area as well.

  • Has the solution to collapsing email folders been developed yet?

    Has the solution to collapsing email folders been developed yet?

    I have submitted feedback several times during the past few years and never received a response on this topic.
    This inability to recognize the importance of this feature to the average business smartphone user is pure practical blindness on Apple's part.  Ask any real business man or woman who has made the change to the iPhone and they will tell you that this is the one feature that makes them not love their iPhone 100 percent.  Ask any well informed business person why they have not switched over to the iPhone and the lack of this "should be standard" feature will be near if not on top of their list of reasons.
    This will lead me right back to a Windows based smartphone along with all of my employees and vendors which I influence.  All the fun stuff focus and ignoring this basic business function will continue to cost Apple a big share of the business user market.  They could dominate if they listened to some real business users.
    Very sad.  Great potential ignored and lost.

  • Has the backlight hissing problem been fix

    Hi,
    I'm about to buy a small flash memory mp3 player and am considering getting one of the creative muvos. Either one of the newer ones or I can get the TX SE GB at a very low price.
    I'd like to know if the distortion (hiss) introduced into the sound output of the players, caused by the backlight, has been fixed for any of the muvo range.
    I would like to use the player under low light conditions where the backlight would be essential to browse for a specific track. Searching the forums shows that the problem goes back quite a while.

    I suppose no reply means the problem still exists and has been swept under the carpet by creative.
    I'll get an iPod nano or a Samsung YP-Z5 instead.

  • Has the re-rendering problem been fixed?

    Does anyone know if the issue of when you close FCPX, and then reopen it later, needing to re-render parts of a project that had already been renedered, has been fixed?
    I'm using 10.0.4 and still seem to be dealing with this annoying issue all fo the time.

    Yes, this is happening to me also, but did not attach much importance to it. Wonder if I am doing something wrong or whether the FCPX is at fault!
    Hope we will be enlightened in this matter soon.
    BTW, I have been also facing this issue of the render process going on and on. Have been asked earlier to trash preferences but am yet to do it because I do not understand how to do it and am afraid that by doing something wrong I may lose all of my work.
    Hope Mr. Andy Nick will bring about a video in this matter and upload the same. If he or someone else were to do this video and teach how to go about this job step by step, such a person will be doing newcomers like me to know exactly what I should do.

  • Has the lastest security update caused problems for anyone else?

    Since the latest security update things have been a little weird with my MBP. Within 5 hours of udating the computer there were two kernal panics. At least I think the second one was a kernal panic. I had closed the lid and it wouldnt sleep or turn back on and it had no response to the power button or any keys so I eventually pulled the battery. Then on restart it acted as if recovering from a panic.
    Since then I have had other problems such as long waking time from sleep, dim screen after restarts, and itunes opening for no reason at all. After the latest restart things seem more 'normal.'
    Has anyone else had this problem? If it continues, what should I do?

    And here was I thinking it was my own imagination! After installing that annoying update, my MBP has not been the same.
    I also had two kernal panics exactly as you have described.
    My MBP seems to me to be extremely sluggish compared to what it was, and I am seriously condsidering reinstalling OS x and not installing that update.
    At one point I decided to run disk check and it said I needed to repair my hard drive, something about the actual size and recorded size being different, so I repaired that last night so I will have to see how that goes.
    I am very careful with my comp so i know that it is nothing I did that could cause thes problems.
    And of course to add another problem to the list, My battery life is nothing like it used to be. I am a college student and up until i installed that update i could easily go 4 hours in lecs using the laptop to take notes, but now after about half an hour the battery indicator says i have an hour left. It is very annoying!

  • In the latest Lion update, has the dropping WiFi issue really truly been totally fixed?

    Anyone still seeing the wifi dropping off, out of the blue, for no reason, issue as was the haunting problem in previous Lion releases?
    For those that had the dropping off issue (and there were many).
    Did this last Lion release/update really really absolutely totally fix the issue for everyone?
    Totally? Completely? Honestly?

    I have updated two machines directly to 10.7.2 and have had no issues with either machine.
    Are you sure these problems are not as a result of the wireless router used rather than a Lion problem?
    I have seen many wireless faults in the past caused by the routers which have been fixed by updating the router firmware.
    Maybe those who are posting wireless problems need to also state the make and model of router they are using to see if a pattern emerges?

  • HT4847 My iPad has the message, "iCloud backup - hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks.  Back ups happen when the iPad is plugged in and connected to WiFi. The device will not let me click "ok" it is frozen and will not turn off allow access to other functions

    My iPad is locked up, the message "iCloud backup hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks, needs to be plugged in, locked and connected to WiFi." It is unresponsive to the "ok" command to move forward with the backup.  It is stuck.  

    Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • Have the drop-down menus in Muse been fixed?

    I recently had a problem with Adobe Muse (Case #0183888983). I was emailed the information that the problem, malfunctioning drop-down menus in my site, had now been fixed. In the meantime I decided on my own to access an earlier version of Muse through Time Machine and then re-save and publish the Muse site with this earlier version. I'm afraid I don't dare open up the Muse site in this fixed version in case it doesn't work as described, and then I have to go through the tedious process again. So there's no way I can tell if my site would function with the new fixed Muse. The next time I create a new site, I'll be able to determine whether the bug has been fixed.

    Muse 3.1 did fix a couple of issues with menu bars.

    If you could be more specific about the problem you were seeing, someone could probably confirm if 3.1 fixes it.

  • My other computer is on Version 29 but this one is stuck on 28 and says it has the latest version. How do I fix this?

    Hi, I have one computer that just updated to Version 29. My other computer is on Version 28, but says it has "the latest version of Firefox". How do I fix? I would like to take advantage of the sync features.

    Firefox 29 (beta) has the new 1.5 version of Sync, where Firefox 28 (earlier) uses the previous version of Sync. Once a Sync account has been upgraded to the new 1.5 version of Sync it won't connect with a pre-29 version of Firefox. So you are looking at a 6 week period of incompatibility, until your release version is updated to Firefox 29.
    On a positive note, the new version has a greatly simplified ''(for the user)'' method of adding new devices to an existing Sync account and for re-connecting a device that was "un-linked" from the Sync server. The 3rd authentication "key" - using the Sync Key - has been eliminated. The data encryption "key" will be created (and "compared" at time of login) using the account / user name and the account password; the 3rd key won't be needed by the user.
