Ok, so I've had this laptop (G73JW-A1) for around a week, and I've been dealing with problems pretty much non-stop since around the second day I had it, beginning with fan problems.
I was pretty sure I didn't mess anything up myself since the problems started before I had even removed any bloatware or updated the drivers. However, I just remembered that I tried to run LiveUpdate almost straight away (I assumed it would be an easy way to download all of the latest drivers in one place)... I wasn't aware of how buggy the program was. After the downloading process had locked up twice around the third update in the list and the GUI kept bugging out, I did some research and discovered how garbage the program was. Naturally, I uninstalled it straight away.
The thing that worries me is the fact that it made it past the BIOS section of the updates. One would think it would prompt a reboot if the update was successful, but I'm not sure what else could have happened.
My questions are: is it possible that my problems are stemming from a bad BIOS update? and: If so, is there any way to roll back the BIOS?
Thanks.

if you are worried about the bios, then just flash to the current one, no need to roll back.
Screwed over by ASUS LiveUpdate?
