G51JX-X3/G60JX HELP Please

Hey, my parents bought me this laptop here for christmas

http://www.amazon.ca/ASUS-Republic-G...3491737&sr=8-1


Before I say the problem I will say that I have updated drivers, uninstalled drivers and even restored the laptop itself, but please, no matter what you think the problem is, please tell, I really don't want to send it in

There are few other people who are having the EXACT same problem as me, but there are many similar.

Whenever I play more demanding games like GTA 4, even on low - medium graphics, it glitches out, I'm not talking low fps, I mean when I play it, I'll start off as Niko just walking out of the house, everything will be fine for less than a minute, then after a bit the game will start freezing every few seconds, the freezing could be half a second to 20 seconds, it's really making me mad.

Here's what I did about it:

Called Asus, though I had already downloaded the graphics driver for the G60JX (Other name for this laptop) He still directed me to install it. After I shut my laptop off and started it again, the game actually ran a bit better but still terrible, it still froze up every few seconds, so the graphics driver barely helped. I also tried fooling around with different sound drivers, I went to Uninstall Programs, and uninstalled the RealTek Audio program/driver, I did this because people said on the internet it worked for them as well as updating the BIOS to 206.

Today, I finally upgraded the BIOS to 206 because that was the version everyone said to upgrade to, because it fixed similar freezing problems to mine.


THEN, *drumroll* nothing changed with GTA 4! I started off and it seemed fine like it always seems at first, THEN as soon as I went outside it seemed fine too, so I started pushing people (inside the game) and BAM it started freezing up again.


I really don't want to send it in like a girl from Asus told me on the phone, I just want to play my games for PC.

I know theres a solution to this because many people have fixed this problem as well.

ANY suggestions on how to fix? I'm tired of this BS, for the amount of money my parents had to spend on this, it should be updated with all drivers.

PS. One person who never heard of these laptop problems said that it may be a broken graphics card problem? I highly doubt that right now though.




ANY suggestions on how to fix? Any help would be appreciated




GTA 4 video (made by me) showing how it performs, see how it doesn't have low FPS, it just glitches and freezes

I had this problem with my g51jx - something about GTA4. Can you reproduce it outside the game?

 

Well before I restored it, I tried playing Crysis and it had the same glitch, but maybe I should try again?

Could you explain more about your problem?
Thanks

 

It's probably easier to just head to the G51j owners forum, or dig up the long threads about the g51j/jx BSOD problem - there are a TONNE of other problems that got solved in that thread.

 

Thanks! I'm gonna go find that thread now

I Fixed It! :d
