    Hi everyone I am a new user, I hope someone is able to help me out.

    I own an Asus G53SW-A1 laptop with an aftermarket 128b SSD with the OS installed on, and am experiencing several problems:

    1. My boot time used to be well under 20 seconds, it can now take several minutes.
    2. Not long after I purchased the laptop, yellow artifacts would appear on the screen, they would disappear from time to time. I found sometimes I could enduce these when i clasp the laptop moving it around.
    3. Generally a lot slower then when I first bought it.
    4. The 3 buttons on the top left never work, I update the drivers and they work for a while but then always stop working

    I have removed all unecessary programs, and have upated the drivers numerous time to try and fix these issues.

    I am now trying to do a fresh install of Windoes 7 Home Premium OS, and will then install the drivers disk I own. I downloaded a stand alone OS and burnt it to disk.

    When i try to boot off the disk I get a screen and it has status: 0xc0000225

    Initiate an RMA with ASUS, there might be something with the GPU, and RAM.
