Asus G73Jw - Why do you freeze like this....

[squats]

Iv had this computer for just over two months now. But Lately iv been having issues with it freezing.

It only freezes while im browsing the internet or watching a movie. never during a game. And when it does freeze, i have to do a hard restart of the computer. The whole computer just stops working (video playback is unaffected only.. for whatever reason.) Its not just the program stalling.

My drivers are all up to date also..

Does anyone else have this problem?
And has anyone here been able to solve the issue. Iv been looking at several forums but every "fix" that iv tried doesnt work.

Every time an apple product logs onto my network it happens. how bout that crap..

hrm, i'll send this over to my friend who works over at Asus, maybe she knows something

Its a common problem.. i dont know why it hasnt been officially addressed by Asus. and the same thing doesnt always cause it. My guess is its a hardware conflict. And the apple products triggering it is just a fluke.

I've linked her the thread here, if you can provide as much info as possible she might be able to push it to her IT department.

ill try and provide a crash log of some sort.. the only problem is.. idk that its generating them because of the way the crash is.. it never blue screens.. it just kind of.. stops working.

Hi, what BIOS version are you using? Updating to version 203 may solve your problem (download here: http://support.asus.com/download/dow...f_type=3&os=30)

Also, to generate a crash report, you can use the event viewer: go to Start -> run -> "event viewer"


ps. optimize for chrome plx.
