You can use this tool to monitor your temps: HWiNFO32 Download
Check your Idle temps first especially MemIO.
Also, which ati driver do you use?

You should be able to play L4D2 maxed out all day long without overheating. Your thermal paste is very bad. If you are getting GSODs too, I'd just get that replaced. You've got nothing to lose since you already have both GPU problems. I'm pretty sure the GSODs are not related to heat. Mine was overheating without GSOD. I think you have two problems. Definitely time for RMA. -

The keyboard lights cannot be fixed with a BIOS update.
The keyboard lights cannot be fixed with buying a new keyboard.
The keyboard lights CAN be fixed by updating the firmware for the KEYBOARD LIGHT CONTROLLER on the motherboard using a proprietary application that ONLY THE ASUS TECHS HAVE ACCESS TO. You need to RMA.
End of Mantra. -
still good news for some people...

The only good msi bios that seem to work correctly for the G73 is the one they release before v23. so here it is. I currently use it.
We loose HDMI tho. dont know for VGA.
but there is 0 GSOD with it.

And I recommend flashing it from True dos (with a usb bootdisk or a boot cd) ati dos flash tool are in the .rar
Edit: fixed link -
Didn't this MSI/Clevo vBIOS method became obsolete when ziddy v3 vBIOS came out?
-
No ziddy v3 is not 100% working. I still gsod with it. but not with this one.
Ziddy v3 only seem to help a little for me. But the problem is still there. -
Comming back to the official topic:
New BIOS 211 at FTP Server
Not officially released yet but is already there. -

wimax? -
-
-
soooo whats wimax
-
MSI/Clevo vBios are entirely different vBios. -
-
But loosing HDMI and VGA is just too much. Asus needs to release their own fixed vBios. This isnt a joke to us... -
I just updated to 211 and i guess it doesn't contain vbios? As mine is still the same. Also most of the change-list looks useless.
-
I already posted that. Its a useless update that makes the laptop run louder without any real benefit.

Said that in a PM to Gary also. BIOS 211 fan profile is a joke.

Interestingly enough Bios 211 which can be downloaded here: ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/G73Jh/ is only 1291 KB and according to this site the last time it was "modified" (uploaded to the site probably) is today 08\11\2010.
-
Thats becouse the bios is compressed in a .zip file. Its 2048kb when you unzip it.

The voltage on high performance clocks (700/1000) from 1.15v to 1.05v and he changed the battery clocks (before 300/1000 and 400/1000) and UVD clocks (before 500/1000) to 200/500 all and set the voltage on these lower clocks to 0.9v instead of the previous 0.95v. Nothing you cant do with AMD GPU Clock Tool.
Just open both the stock and this edited vBios with RBE and youll see yourself its the same vBios with just a little clock and voltage changes. Its certainly not a fully working solution unlike the MSI/Clevo vBioses, but those are no good either becouse you loose HDMI and VGA (at least useless to me since i use HDMI to watch movies on my Bravia occasionally). -
I have no idea how you worded your PM and it's not my business. I just wanted to throw that out there before we throw out the baby with the bath water.
I was a little harsh on the first reply I made to a message that was posted.That was before I realized the guy was legit and was seriously working on fixes for us. Not only that, but they are researching in this forum and using our findings as data points for the fixes. I think that's pretty cool.
One of the techs posted about the 211 BIOS today. The main purpose of this update has to do with WiMax and Bluetooth. It also has some fan speed changes but doesn't appear to be the main fix in it. There are like 5 Bluetooth/WiMax changes and one fan speed adjustment. We know that fan speed won't help bad paste but they may not have even realized they had a TIM problem until they got into these forums and the fan speed modification may have already been in the works.
Again, the comment about cutting the guy a little slack is not directed at you. It's just my opinion. I'd hate to see the guy get ticked off and leave us hanging. -
-
So the bios on their FTP server is probably the official one as well.
-
-
Double post. Please delete.
-
I also...Totally agree.
-
I just got a reply from ASUS support with a link to the official 211 BIOS ( ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-. It's the same file size as the 209 version too.

To Confirm, With the 211 Bios Update and ATi 10.7a Beta Drivers. The problems involving the Graphics Cards have disappeared at least for me.
