    Hi all,

    Had this for about 3 weeks and loving it. Now that i've had more time to play with it long periods i've noticed an oddity.

    Seems every 1-2 hours or so, sometimes more sometimes less the external i'm using goes black for 5-10 seconds then comes back fine like nothing ever happened. Like my external had a seizure but feels better now :eek:

    Is this normal? Could it be a driver issue? System is stock, running the Vista 64-bit it came with (and latest security patches applied).

    It's a refurb so I only have 3 month with ASUS, though I don't think it's ever even been used as not a scratch, not even a fingerprint on the shell!

    Hopefully this is something simple and I can rest my mind at ease. :)

    Edit: Now that i've timed it...close to about every 40min or so
