    So now that you vented your fustration I assume from your topic that you have a Blue Screen Of Death. Care to endulge further?

    P.s You dont need Asus update you need Chastity Driver Reference.

    Do you have the firmware/BIOS upgrades for that model and it's GPU? The Radeon GPU in it had issues at first, though they were supposedly resolved (eventually) with a firmware update.

    When does it crash? Randomly? After sleep mode? Or...?

    Doh! You're right, it's the jh that had the GPU that needs a firmware fix. jw was its successor that uses a GTX 460 which should work.

    Thanks for correcting me! :)
