    How are you today?
    3 days ago my Asus G74S stop working(to slow when I use it & on boot)
    I try to restore by f9 but the restore always show a big red error after% at that time for some reason so
    I download a windows 7 iso legally & install it,
    But the laptop still low on boot & when I use it.. .plus I try to play the game"Archeage"
    But I can't since it's very slow!
    Is there a way to get to the f9 recovery? since after i install it the f9 don't work
    Is there a way to fix this?
    I just want my Asus back!

    Note: I don't have the recovery disc.

    Best to contact ASUS support for the stock recovery discs.
    You can't do the recovery anymore after the reinstall.

    It's unlikely to fix it if there is a hardware issue, break out the monitoring tools like GPU-Z and have a look at what is going on.

    If OS is bad then unexpected phenomena can show up too since "... the laptop still low on boot & when I use it.. .plus I try to play the game"Archeage But I can't since it's very slow ...".

    It certainly could be, but when recovory is not a simple slap a disc in operation it's worth stopping a moment and investigating if there are any underlying hardware issues such as an overheating processor causing the issue.

    Suggest to clean up the heatsink and vent since that's a high possibility.

    If it's running hot that's certainly the place to start :)
