    I got this Asus A53T laptop about 4-5 months ago. I was using it late one night, then a little black window appeared with white text appearing in it and my computer went and shut itself down. It was plugged in to power too.

    I turned it back on and the resolution was huge and the task bar seemed to have lost its transparency thing. There is no longer a sleep option either.

    I cant fix the resolution via control panel because there are only two options and neither are right.

    I discovered it seems to be Asus live update that does this around 12:06AM every night after trying again nights after to have it shut down each time.

    Someone help me please!

    P.S. I'm not great with computers, so I apologize for un-technical descriptions

    Thank you for replying :) How do I reinstall them? I have tried troubleshooting through the control panel but it wouldn't work
