Re: Complaining thread

It sounds like your solution here would be to get a new video card? Potentially expensive but if it's busted, that's the solution.

I don't think a system reset will do much of anything. Unless the card is working for other things? but from what your saying my impression it's not working entirely. That might be a hardware problem, which won't have a software fix. You said it's new, this thing still under warranty?

Thanks, yeah. The problem is my Nvidia graphics driver (which is the one I think the games are supposed to be using, instead of the normal Intel one) is getting a Code 43 that nothing seems to be resolving, so Windows has disabled it. Over the past week and a half I've been shooting e-mails back and forth with the Asus people, and they just seem confused. Since I reset the whole computer and the problem is still there, what little I know of computers suggests to me that maybe the hardware is broken, not the software. Googling tells me they are very difficult to replace in laptops. It's still under warranty, but unfortunately I'm living abroad for the year and the warranty is only local... but I might just have to bite the bullet and mail it overseas, but that takes a lot of time and money itself and I'm not sure would be worth it unless I know replacing the laptop is the only fix.

I'll admit I still get desktops for this very reason. Swapping's a lot easier.

Oh damn yeah, being abroad makes everything harder. But it does sound like it's the hardware, and while I'm no expert if it's code 43'ing no matter what you do maybe that's windows working RIGHT, and something's wrong with that fucker. Which means no easy fix, in your case. :( Sorry anon.

Thanks, though. To be honest, it's been such a headache, it's just a relief to finally have a good idea of what the actual problem is. I wish the Asus people could've been that direct! Even after nothing they suggested was working (updating everything, resetting, etc) they still wouldn't give me a clear idea of anything that could possibly be the problem, just told me to send it in.

I honestly would much prefer a desktop, for reasons not limited to gaming. But considering I travel and go abroad so often, it just wasn't feasible. One day I will settle down and have the fattest, heaviest, most hardcore desktop of all time and I don't care if it takes a truck to move it, it will be an improvement over all the dumb laptop problems.
