Asus G74 Event 41

I bought the Asus G74 almost a month ago now and I am having a few problems with it. Every so often my PC locks up but not completely (I can still move the mouse but it will freeze for about 10 seconds then I can move the mouse for a second or two then it will freeze again). I though this was first related to the audio drivers so I tried uninstalling the Realtek drivers and using the windows generic driver but it doesn't seem to help. Here is a copy of the Event:

I purchased this laptop on July 11th and since then it has happened 13 times, including the first day I bought it. Should I return this and hope I get another one that is working properly or is this a problem with the G74?

 

Could be video card for the drivers, you can try reinstall from the drivers DVD.

also try remove one stick of RAM at a time to test the system.

 

Does it have the 500 gb hybrid drives in it?

If it does i would be willing to bet it is those drives waking up.. or something. i read somewhere that there are some updates for the hybrid drives...
I took mine out because they didn;t seem any faster than a standard drive and i had a SSD ready to go in.

If you don;t have these drives athen disregard my comment.

 

I set my PC to shutdown instead of going into sleep mode when I press the power button and this seems to have fixed the problem. I ordered 8GB of RAM to see if the problem lies in the crappy Samsung RAM they put in the G74.

 

There is nothing wrong with the RAM they put in the G74.

 

the Samsung memory worked just fine here, and benched ok.

 

I have the same problem with my new G74. I do not know what is wrong. Did you find a solution?
