[GSOD Fix?] Beta vBIOS update for G73JH

truth lol

I wish it wasnt like this

 

Another asusxperts user (jcontanaya)

GSOD: YES

60-NY8VG1000-C14

 

Here are the same specs: GSOD and C13

 

I have a C14 according to Ken so yeah! No GSOD .. but i don't.. i'll add mine next week

 

So Ken tested it with new drivers and it didn't GSOD? Lucky
Hope it will clear fast on British customs, so you could give it some more testing

 

ulp, my lappy froze twice in 20 minutes, not gsod, just froze.... whats up with that?

first it happened when I was browsing on firefox, next it happened when the screen savor was on.

interesting.

 

1) Do you GSOD? NO
2) What is your GPU's Part Number? C02

Running 209, been stable on 10.1-10.8. Purchased in February, never seen a GSOD in 7 months.

 

1) Do you GSOD? NO
2) What is your GPU's Part Number? C13

209 Bios, vbios 10.7a/8 no CCC is the only way I do not GSOD now. CCC causes same issue on clean install still.

edit: beta vbios

 

nahh he didn't.. i thought C14 doesn't GSOD .. but i'll test.. hopefully it doesn't.. if mine goes on a plane and is in UK by monday , should get tuesday wednesday... brb.. the waiting..

 

1.) GSOD?: Yes
2.) Part Number: 06-NY8VG1000-C14

211 bios; stock vbios; 10.8 Catalyst, Currently using the overclock method on my GPU.

 

1) GSOD: No. Well only once, normally its very stable.
2) GPU number: 60-NY8VG1000-C14

running on 209, stock vbios, catalyst 10.8

 

were can i find my part number on my gpu

 

May be Chastity should rephrase the question...
Do u GSOD on stock vbios??(because some ppl are answering no but stating beta vbios and msi vbios...so how do we get to know u gsod'ed on stock one..it might be simple to guess they might have gsod'ed but we want answers from their own mouth....
Do u GSOD without modifying anything asus gave u aside updatig ati drivers????


1)GSOD: Yes
2)60-NY8VG1000-Cxx(MY G73 @ an ASUS repair CENTRE...would be back tomorrow)

And it seems the c02 and c03's are gsod free..Are these the early g73's which came out..And somehow asus saw how people were rushing for this beast so decided to cut cost by changing some stuffs...going for cheaper components or......

 

as they said..js unscrew the under side..nothing much...

 

I think the C02 and C03s are very early. I got mine in early February, I think. It might have been really late January. They were very hard to come by at the time. The lead time on A1s and A2s was outrageous. New Egg had some X1s trickling in every few days and they were gone almost as fast as they hit the web site.

 

I have C02 and got mine in April. It was produced in march. According to Asus label on it.

 

I am the bone of my sword.....

 

Mine says "2010-01" on the bottom. Is that the Born On date? It was made in January 2010, I guess.

 

Take a look at the link in my signature win7 lockup fix. It may help you.

 

bro i have no more lockups. u are the boss.

 

wow asus is making g73 with a nvidia chip i knew it

 

g73jw and g53jw with a 460m...

 

thanks for the help. I'll take a looksy then.

 

I am now running MSI vbios, 209 BIOS and 10.8 CCC. I have been playing Crysis(1.2.1) for 8 or so hours with no problem(High +2x AA) but the game keep crashing during the last mission(on the ship). Sometimes it just shows black screen for 10 seconds and the game crashes, but mostly the notebook just resets. I have a feeling like the game was trying to restart GPU, sometimes succesfully, sometimes not. I am pretty sure it is not HW or temps related, i have 93C on load and I can run Unigine and Furmark for hours with no problems. Do you think this is drivers or so related or it is just that lousy game(i had to switch to Vista compatibility mode to execute it)

 

crysis still crashes - Vista Forums

 

Apparently the C0x parts are earlier ones that supposedly "run hotter", but also don't crash like a mofo. So they made some design changes to reduce heat, and fubar'd the stability. (If there was a :boner: I'd use that) Anyone want to guess slower settings and voltage drop tweak?

So I am curious to see what the R&D guys whipped up. Like really curious. Like email it to me already...

I guess in the meantime I have a i7 950 coming via UPS today, and a brand new Venomous X-RT + a tube of ICD7 awaiting it.

 

That's what I've been assuming for a while now. I really don't know how this can be summed up as anything but a hardware issue that will have to be bandaged with software. Just hope Asus finds a solution, even if suboptimal, that resolves your guys' instability.

 

that great but is it faster then ati 5870m yes or no and should i try to return my laptop at best buy and hope i get the nvidia one i have 3yr plan on my laptop? and sorry for my grammar im still working on that XD

 

LOL. I'm laughing with you not at you.

That is a monster cooler! I'm running a big copper Zalman cooler with purdy blue lights in it, but I built mine with a i7 800 series CPU.

If it's just timings and voltage, they can fix that with vBIOS, right? I mean there wasn't a single thing wrong with their C0X series GPU except the paste was bad. I don't even think they had an application problem... it was a bad batch of TIM that wasn't a properly homogeneous mix... that's just my opinion though based on what I saw.

Also, did you ever tell us what C number your GPU was? I missed it if you did.

 

I never posted it cuz I emailed it to Gary. I have a C12.

I have that Zalman Cooler, the 990CuLED IIRC. It's quiet, but not for overclocking, since you can't get those extreme temps. Great for a HTPC.

I have a Thor's Hammer in my current rig, but I was able to get the Venomous X-RT for $52 shipped, so I said "what the hell..." Besides, I like the fact that it's more compressed in size, even tho the Hammer is gorgeous to look at.

 

Hello, iam looking for the newest vBios version. (modified)
are there still the 1000 MHz at the powerplay setting performance maximize?

 

Heh, I'm still experimenting to see what are the most stable clocks for downclocking etc.

I'm hoping Gary and his team are still planning on releasing an official final vBios that is more stable than ours. Other vBios from MSI can downclock as far as 100/150, but ours, it seems to crash.

It's not the core that is the problem. It's the memory. When memory goes below 500 it seems to get a little unstable. And I know AMD/ATi worked on making sure the memory controller can handle it, so it's on Asus to fix it.

 

ok, thank you very much for your information!
are i in the right forum, to get the news?
could i test your vBios version? that would be great! ;-)
thanks!

Probably a dumb questions but these threads are so long! Did Asus Officially release a GSOD fix or is it still do it at your own risk if your comfortable flashing? If your not comfortable flashing is it still set up for RMA?

 

Bumped an oooooold thread for an old beta bios. Look at the Sticky for GSOD Blues for the official fix.

 

Synergi can bump my thread anytime she wants to

 

I bumped it because I like bumping your threads Chastity.

 

another women in the forum..... nice

 

I do not believe that Asus will release more stable vbios ever. Lets thank God that they released this one. They cannot release a new VGA drivers even so How it is possible to prepare a new vbios?

 

AMD/ATI gives every manufacturer the base for building their vBios (AtomBios Ver. x). Its then up to them to compile it with their own HDMI/VGA code.
Asus just doesnt care enough to make a proper one. Most people are satisfied with this beta so theyre just letting it be.
Its sad, since we know it can be done, they just dont want to.

 

Sorry for bringing this thread back from the grave but I recently updated the bios and vbios from another website (Gary's update). I then tried to install 11.2 drivers and everything has gone bad! I ran sweeper and my resolution just went to crap. I tried to run 11.2 to again and nothing happened. The only way I could set it back to 1600/900 resolution was through device manager update driver feature. Tried to install 11.2 again and it's just not working.

Catalyst Control Center: Host Application has stopped working.
Debug does not work. Just get another error.
Find solution on the web does not work.
I'm just spammed with "CCC:Host application has stopped working"

When I click help from start > Programs > CCC here is what I get:

stupid question maybe, but you did install the mobility version did you ?

 

Yeah its the Mobility.

 

You could try this:

Uninstall the ATI drivers, reboot, and reinstall, but ONLY INSTALL THE DRIVERS using Custom Install, and not CCC. reboot. Once everything is OK, go ahead and install CCC by itself. (Use standalone installer, or Custom under the driver package)
