    i dont know wat happen. one day wen i try turning on the laptop. It when to the log in screen like normal. after i type in password it loads but i waited for so long but still no respons. it made no sound, the hard drive light never light up.

    THe mouse icon will indicate loading with Welcome beside it but t nothing happens. I have to hole the power down to off and than turn laptop on again to solve this problem. I had experience this afew times alrdy n still havin same problem.
    Another time is when the laptop was on. i press FIN+F7 to turn the LCD screen off and left it for 30 mins, when i return it wont repson at all. but the Hard drive light was light up but this time, the num lock light was off. I had to press and hold power button to switch off and turn back on.

    I had tired asking the tech ppl from asus and thy recon its the software problem n told me to reinstall. but b4 i go ahead with it i wanna ask ppl from here.

    Can you help?

    I have using Asus M50SV, vista 32bits ultimate. core 2 duo tp300, 4GB ram, 300GB HD, Geforce 9500 GS.

    Can't be sure, but it doesn't hurt to try reinstalling Windows before you go the (more time-expensive) way of the RMA.

    My question:
    How long have you been using your M50? If you have been using it for 3 months or more with no Virus cleaner and Spyware protection (or unupdated version), you may have a virus in your system causing the problem.

    So I also go with EBE's suggestion. Backup your files, and do a windows recovery with the F11 key. If you don't have any backup devices, buy one. Or if you want a cheaper and semi risky solution. The M50 normally is shipped with the hdd in two partitions. Backup your files to the second partition normally the d: drive (the drive without windows).

    Restart your PC, press the F11 key, then recover windows to the 'FIRST PARTITION' ONLY. Then you should have a working system. If not, then you must have a hardware problem.

    Are you sure it's F11? On earlier models it was F9.
