    My Power4Gear is playing up after a recovery which I did last night, it seems to be just randomly exiting it's self because sometimes when I try to turn up the volume, I can't! or change the power mode, etc.

    Also when on battery mode it the screen turns off after like 3 minutes, and thats even after I changed the settings on battery mode to "Never"

    Could it be hardware damage?

    Also, is there anything I should be aware of after a recovery? Ive installed all the drivers and done windows update, but not asus live update yet.

    Sites are loading extremly slow.

    Sounds more like your ATK0100 is acting up and not Power4Gear...since ATK controls your volume control and etc.

    Try reinstalling the latest ATK0100 driver.

    Oh dear god my whole machine is f**ed. Web sites run slow, it's always jamming and being REALLY slow like when I've got a few apps running it will suddenly stop responding, I click to minmise and it doesn't do anything, then it DOES move but then goes white, and then the mouse cursor turns to the sand timer and its all jammed, it feels like spyware but I've got Norton 2005 on really high controls. Also when I use it on battery it will just sometimes TURN the screen off, and I can't do ANYTHING to turn it back on.

    I think I'll recover again...but what should I do this time?
    I recovered and it did not ask me to put any discs in but I did anyway, I loaded/installed all the drivers on that disc.
