    Solved! Problem With Card Reader In Notebook

    Hi...And thank you. I do not believe that I have a virus, for I ran a complete updated virus scan with the paid version of AVAST and it did not find one. Also, since the computer does not recognize the card, it does not show up under "My Computer" as a removable device so that I can try what...

    How Do You Install RAM On An ASUS K50IJ?

    I want to open up my case on my ASUS K50IJ Notebook and install 2 new sticks of RAM. All I really know is that it opens from the bottom. Does anyone else have any more specific info on how and where to open it? ASUS won't help me for it is installing a third party product. Also, the manual...

    Solved! Removed External HD Without Using "Safe To Remove"

    I have a new Notebook running Windows 7 Pro x64. I had my external HD hooked into the USB, and, I took it out of the USB port but forgot to click on the "Eject Button" in the System Tray to get the "It is now safe to remove" popup. I only did this one time. Could it have done any harm to my...

    Can't Turn On ASUS Notebook With Creative Sound Card in USB

    Thanks....Let me think about whether or not I want to continue pursuing this. It's getting pretty involved. I can always just unplug the M-AUDIO Fast Track Pro when I'm going to restart the Notebook....I'll get back in two or three days with a decision (some family health issues have...

    Can't Turn On ASUS Notebook With Creative Sound Card in USB

    I'm sorry not to get back to this thread sooner, however, I was pulled away due to personal reasons. I returned the Creative card, and instead, purchased an M-AUDIO Fast Track Pro. My Notebook still does the same thing. I couldn't find the verbose boot screen you mentioned, and you cannot...

    Can't Turn On ASUS Notebook With Creative Sound Card in USB

    Got a replacement Creative sound card (same model) and still have the same issue. Creative told me to disable the onboard sound card, which I haven't tried yet, since I'm not sure what to do. They also told me to update my BIOS, however, ASUS told me that there is not need for that. ASUS...

    Can't Turn On ASUS Notebook With Creative Sound Card in USB

    I haven't tried it again, since I am concerned about having to turn it off by holding in the button again, and what it could do to the computer.....Should the right software make a difference? Or does it sound like the sound card has faulty grounding and I should exchange it? Thanks. :)

    Can't Turn On ASUS Notebook With Creative Sound Card in USB

    I have a new lower end ASUS Notebook. I purchased Creative's SoundBlaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 external sound card that hooks up to the USB. However, if the sound card is hooked up to the USB, I cannot turn on or restart the Notebook, for it only gets as far as the ASUS logo. It is not a boot issue...
