    Tried latest version, reinstalled multiple times (uninstalled w/ revo).

    Does anybody know what's wrong? It takes a really long time to open the main window just to get this popup that blocks access with the main window (which if I click, closes the XTU process)


    Laptop is a N43SM on v209 ASUS official BIOS, HM65 chipset

    HM65 chipset doesn't support XTU, but HM67/HM76/HM77 do.

    Edit: I just checked K43SM's BIOS downloaded from ASUS site, the "Performance Tuning" module inside the BIOS is missing and you need that to activate XTU as well.

    Hmm, so if I flash a modded BIOS w/ the performance tuning module inserted. Will XTU work?

    No, because HM65 doesn't support XTU. Unless you remove HM65 chip and solder an HM67 chip onto it.
