installed 920xm

any thoughts on the settings for the bios.......

for some reason i have to redo the whole os...i dont know why but here we go i hope its ok......

 

i keep getting a bsod i think it may be the seating of the ram or the hard drive ....... C0000218 is the code i get...now i am super frustrated

 

Try resetting your BIOS to default settings.

Also, what laptop are you using?

Edit: if you are using the G73JH, then remove the ram module from underneath the keyboard.

 

i am using the g73---a1....

ok i did the bio reset and i reseated the ram and the hard drives...both ssd's and i am trying to install the os again and hopefully it will be ok

 

yeah, it's a common problem on the G73Jh series. The ram slot under the keyboard must be empty when you first boot or else it will give you a BSOD. Once it boots properly, you can replace the ram back to the slot.

 

if you are using the G73JH, then remove the ram module from underneath the keyboard.

the only way to do that is to take it all apart again

 

but i cant take it out unless i take the whole computer apart again .....

 

Just take the palm rest off. No need to disassemble the entire laptop.

 

ok is there a easy way of doing this

take out the keyboard then what ?

 

The process shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. Once the keyboard/palm rest is off, you should see your ram. Remove it and boot your laptop. Once it boots sucessfully, replace the ram back to the slot.

 

ok trying it now thx for the help by the way

 

No problem

 

but i have to take the screen off too

 

You don't have to remove it entirely. You'll need to remove the screws holding the hinges down but keep the cables connected.

I guess I should have mentioned this earlier, but here's the disassembly guide if you haven't seen it yet:

ok i just took it out and booted it into windows and shut it down...now put it back in and i should be ok

 

Good to hear

 

dude i hope this works .......it just seems like a crazy fix

 

dident work still crashes

 

It should. The issue has been long known.
See below post for more info:

Edit: weird that it didn't work. Check the thread I posted above. The first post lists the exact instructions and see if you have missed anything.

 

it booted into windows and everything and then i put it back in and when i go into windows and do a windows index score test it shuts down

 

ok so here is something weird i went into bios and changed the asus overclock to turbo and its working now....

 

Glad to know it's working now

 

but why is it working with just the bios change....dosent make sence

 

I had the opposite problem. Asus easy over clock set to turbo with everything else default made my system completely unstable. Once I started changing the multipliers I could get it stable. Post a screen shot of cpu-z when you have a chance.

 

yes sir all mighty mandrake....
