    Longtime Asus hardware? bios? issues

    Oh great! This is new: computer jyst crashed with the error Critical Process Died and then the machine booted straight to Bios again. Now it's running again but for how long. Guess it's time to find alternative laptops that are available. I guess the Asus ux330 with i5-6200u, 8gb ram and 256...

    Longtime Asus hardware? bios? issues

    It might be the disk, but considering all tests come back clear, heat tests don't show any problems (it's always on my lap anyway) and the original problem has been persisting without getting worse for three years I do wonder if that's the solution. A new disk would take the money off the new...

    Longtime Asus hardware? bios? issues

    My Asus ux32vd is having problems for 3 years now. It all started after the warranty expired, all problems occurred at the same time. - needs 10-15 minutes to start up - crashes whenever it goes into standby/sleep. After restarting it boots with the following blue screen error message...

    complete hardware update laptop possible?

    Thanks for confirming. I kind if expected that already. I'll look out for a custom builder though I have the feeling they might be more geared towards gaming machines and not ultrabooks. Or i finally need to let go of either the good matte screen or good keyboard.

    complete hardware update laptop possible?

    Ok, I thought about buying a new ultrabook as my Asus UX32VD has quite some issues probably related to some part of the hardware. At the same time I cannot get the ultrabook that I really want, and while the technical problems annoy me to no end I guess I'd rather keep this computer than buy one...

    New ultrabook: Zenbook 303UA vs

    Well, one thing is certain: I simply cannot get the ultrabook I want at the moment as most models have a glossy screen, and those with a matte screen all have something that I'm not happy about: the small size of the Dell XPS 13, the non-adjustable screen brightness for the matte screen model...

    New ultrabook: Zenbook 303UA vs

    Hm.. yes, if I knew it would fix the problem. When this error popped up first quite a few other owners experienced the same but never found a solution. The theory at that time was a connection problem somewhere or a defect motherboard. Anyway, been using it like this for about two years now and...

    New ultrabook: Zenbook 303UA vs

    Well.. the 'bit old' is a bit more than that, really. There's an error that results in a blue screen whenever the notebook goes into sleep mode/screen off. After than it needs a system restore as even surfing with just one tab doesn't really work anymore smoothly. It always needs 15 minutes to...

    New ultrabook: Zenbook 303UA vs

    edit: I just discovered the buying help form. 1. What is your budget? 1000 GBP max, possibly 2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering? 13.3' 3. What screen resolution do you want? don't care. Prefer smaller type and icons. 4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement...
