Asus.G1S.Resource.Thread

That is a known problem with the XP driver/Wireless control program, no wireless control. you have to turn it off manually.
If anyone knows of a solution I have not seen it yet.

 

Any of you guys have the drop out typing issue with your G1S?
It is driving me crazy!!!!! you know of a fix please post it.
Yaesumofo

 

I think I might have found a solution for it. As soon as I installed ATK Hotkey and ATK OSD it started working! But instead i have freezes för a second a little all the time :/

 

Updated with new section -=11=- heat problems

 

hmmm that might be caused becouse of bad cpu managment... it just dont work on 100% and there are some fluctuations of cpu power, see the solution of this problem with rm cpu clock utility and set it to full power and that might solve your problem, btw i havent noticed that wierd behaveour on my g1s

 

Hey, i tried installing windows XP onto my G1S-A1 and it said it cannot detect any hard drives, or something like that. I used the .iso in the first post. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks

 

Try the iso from this website...

http://www.ocshoot.no/binaries/AsusG1S/

 

Thats the iso i tried

 

I created a blog about Asus G1S: http://asusg1s.blogspot.com

The blog was born out of frustration that I didn't like Vista and wanted to get back to XP. I also wanted test Linux on G1S and upgrade the memory to 4GB. In the blog you may find following stuff:

- How to Install Windows XP on G1S
- How to create slipstreamed XP installation disk
- How to update BIOS to version 300
- Some notes about 4GB RAM on G1S
- Some notes about Linux on G1S
- Some notes about G1S in general

Hopefully someone find this information useful.

 

Thanks a lot! =]

 

Nice job..
...but.. what about "Hard Drive Temps" after this mod ??

Regards,

 

Well tell me a program that shows the temp on my hard drive and i will post it.. On the first page - shows the clock and temp idle. The HD is warm as always.. I have considered modifying the cooling around the hard drive to. Il look into it later.

 

And - section 5 - updated with the G1S blogg http://asusg1s.blogspot.com/

thanks budd!

 

I use "Everest Ultimate Edition 4.20.1170". It shows me all temp in my G1S.

I also use Zalman Notebook Cooler. In idle I have temps:
CPU: 42-46'
Core1: 42-44'
Core2: 41-43'
GPU: 55-61'
HDD: 38-42'
..but I beg to say that I rip off tape which You mark at red in the photos.

Now..when I take off my lap from Zalman Cooler, my HDD temp grows to 53-57'C without this tape. Thats not good for HDD.
When I have this tape (oryginal ASUS G1S cooling system) and don't use Zalman, all my temps grows about 10'C but HDD is in range 40-46'.

Regards,

 

HDTune displays the hard drive temperature; I have it open right now


Has anyone else tried running their laptop without the RAM/WiFi or hard drive compartment covers? I've got my lappy perched on my dual 120mm cooler (sig), and the temp difference is quite substantial. Before I was getting ~52*c for a hard drive temp... now it is barely 31*c. A nice twenty degree drop causes the keyboard to stay completely cool.

In my quick test, if your laptop doesn't leave your desk, may as well take off the bottom panels and let some more air get to the innards.

 

I would say my Hard Drive is to warm at all times. Even when i havent OC'd!
Removing the lid, specially the one over the memory certainly does help lots!
When i get home, the 23rd january, i will most likely drill up some more ventilation for the memory as well. However i will not make big round holes like the one for my graphic card. I will just drill out the small "spaces" in the cover so it looks natural. My brother has done so with his laptop, it aint hard, it helps a lot! Zalman laptop cooler - i want one for my birthday!

 

Does anybody has used the new bios?


Here is the link for Vista 32: http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/G1S/G1S300AS.zip

 

Yes i use the bios 300. How come?

 

And what's your opinion about this bios?
Are the problem with downclock fixed?

 

I don't think it has, no, but using adolfotregosa's solution, it works. Thats the one im using.

 

Holy S**te - Alienware has made a 15'4" with the 8800GTX
http://www.alienware.com/product_de...ode=PC-LT-AREA51M15X-AI1&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT]

loooks a bit fat tho

just notice one thing they understood right away that ASUS neglected, - COOLING!!

'

All those openings with the netting over is why i drilled holes in my G1S - It works!!

 

Man.
The new F8Sv has a very good cooling solution as i remember.
So ASUS has understood the heat problem.

 

not with the G1S ... - first they focking underclock the graph card and make a battery "bug" from hell. _ Mainly because of HEATING problems!

Well no ****e? - it might be because the only small holes are covered with tape so no air can get into the laptop. lol, Asus didn't use engineers for this one lol.

its well fooking funney realley

 

That new Alienware system is freakin' awesome

 

if my g1s ever breaks down - thats the one im getting

 

Hell yeah lol. It's pretty expensive though

 

about the same price as the most hardcore G1S with the xtreme prosessor. So it aint that bad

 

wait till summer and that alienware will go down about 600 hundred bucks and be about the same price as the normal G1S

 

The mac air also looks sweet. http://www.tu.no/it/article131213.ece

sorry for norwegian link, but you can see the photos or visit the homepage of apple. Fook sake its a thin laptop 1.9 cm on the THICKEST!

 

yeah but its too thin, frailer than a grandma. Any jolt, and there goes your 1800$ piece of machinery. I have to applaud them for getting it that thin though, pretty tough. Reminds me of how thick my nano is. lol

 

Well...it looks like I'll be trying Irathi's mod on the CPU cover. However, I will not be doing it on the original cover. I will be buying the extra piece from Asus estore.

I didn't realize that the G1 shares the same chassis as the A6. As shown in the picture below, the CPU cover is the same.

A6:


G1:



I think this is the part for the cpu cover from the asus estore:
http://estore.asus.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=2975


I'll probably be buying the hard drive cover to drill some holes as well.

 

Well it will solve any warranty issues at least. Just remember to remove the lid before you drill holes in it. And 5 days from now i get home, il be drilling more delightfull holes in my way to warm laptop.!

 

Damn, I might have to order some of those panels as well.

 

If im correct, the A6 uses one of these cards (depending on model):

NVidia™ GeForce™ Go7300 128MB
ATI Mobility™ Radeon® X1600 64/128MB/256MB

The ATI card which is normally the warmer cards of Nvidia/Ati runs at 450/470 mhz. The Nvidia 8600 GT that we have runs at 475/700 factory default. Unless the cooling of the graphic card has improved a whole lot, i would guess the 8600 GT card might be a bit to warm for the old chassis of an A6 that we have. It looks like Asus has not improved ventilation for the G1S/G1 compared to the older chassis of the A6 with lower range graphic cards.

 

thinking of buying one.. i got a question, is the G1s compatible with XP home edition?? and if i change it to XP home will the performance be stable or unstable??

the g1s that im buying has alredy a vista basic install.. i just wanna change it to XP home and i know it cost money but i have no problem in that, i just wanna know if and disadvantage in installing it to XP home edition so i can play some old school game...


i ask around the shopkeeper... but they all say positive stuff like "of course its compatible 100%", "all windows version are good with it", wanting to sell their G1s so desperately...

 

Yes, of course. You just have to remember you have to install it yourself, and Asus doesn't support XP on any of its new machines. So finding XP drivers is up to you, however if you check the Sticky at the top of this thread you can find very helpful hints in helping you install XP.

 

nahh Irathi I will not turn back to Vista - Xp has worked flawlessly for me since my last install months ago. I don't want the problems and performancedrop Vista causes since I use my computer for working and not as a "showroom" for some crappy unfinished os
XP was also crap when it first came out - so I stayed with 98SE until Microsoft had fixed the problems since I prefer my computers to run stable.
Jepp I know that a lot of persons don't have problems with Vista - but I also now a LOT that have problems.

Nice coolingmod - kudos to whoever came up with it ! Gave me a temperaturedrop around 3-4⁰C




Gonna do the last "touch-up" with the hole soon

 

kudos goes to me!

and my brother who hovered over my shoulder as we drilled holes.

I like the way you spiced it up with the grill/netting/****e i dont remember name of. I could do so to, but im to lazy

 

nice link!! really appreciate it...

 

Nice

It's actually a piece of lisle-stocking / pantyhose - I fastened it with superglue (or "superjelly")

Running 2.7GHz stable 24/7 ( http://www.ocshoot.no/priv/Asus_G1S/G1S_mod/G1S_clocked/ ) - ok overclock for a laptop....
Wish Asus could implement settings we overclockers want in the bios - it's no problem for them if they want.

 

Hi guys. I just got my G1S and have been having a few problems. My laptop have been crashing quite a few times already. Anyone has any views on this? Is this normal?

 

We need more details. How is it crashing? What are the errors it gives, if any? Did you do anything (install, uninstall something) right before it started crashing? Is it crashing when you do something in particular? etc.

 

Yes, need more details to help you. My laptop has worked good since i first unpacked it..

Tell us when it crashes, what programs are you running at the time, is there any "pattern". Like - TeamSpeakOverlay makes programs crash in Vista.

 

I'll try to put it as simple as possible. I remembered that there was one time where the notebook crashed twice while I was playing Medal of Honor:Airborne. And another time where it crashed while I was copying something from my external HDD.

About installing programs, my dad sent the notebook to his friend to install some software before handing it to me. Is there any way that I can redo everything? Like, restart the whole process, making the notebook to how its suppose to be when we unpack it?

Lastly, there are no certain pattern in the crashes. But it hasn't crashed today so thats some relief.

 

When you see the Asus Gaming Series logo with the explosion press F9 and it will run the recovery wizard. Another option is to use the recovery discs.

 

Will it help with the crashing problems? Or is it just to uninstall everything and just reinstalling back Vista?

edit: does the temperature of the notebook plays a part in the crashes?

 

It is reinstalling everything, restore to factory settings. The current software is gone, nuked, terminated.

Yes the temperature can play a role. Usually the notebook will just shutdown due to temperature though.

What are your temps? CPU/HDD/GPU.

If the crashes are random it's usually bad RAM. You can run memtest86+ for that.

 

Hi all,

I just got my G1S-B2, the 3GB ram version. I heard that XP drivers installation works fine on the 2GB ram version, but do the xp drivers posted here and on the ASUS GIS wikidot guide work on the new 3GB ram version as well? Thanks.

 

Lol, RAM doesn't affect drivers at all...it should work fine.

 

Well, that's only true to some extent. Windows has been known to have issues with large amount of RAM. Updates should've eliminated them by now, though. (3GB is pretty common nowadays)
