I might have found a solution, ASUS Smart Gesture being the culprit. Smart Gesture (from http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/lower-zenbook-power-consumption-due-to-asus-smart-gesture.741039): Solution (from...

What info about the machine would you need, like specs? I actually went ahead and ran the dump file through WhoCrashed, some analyzing software, and it's telling me this: *** On Mon 4/16/2018 2:36:26 AM your computer crashed or a problem was reported crash dump file...

I probably don't have the latest BIOS since I've never updated it. Should I, in this case? Anyways, thanks for the dump tip - here's an automatic memory dump that Windows created after a BSOD some time ago, not a minidump, but maybe that'll work as well: https://goo.gl/fSy4R6.

Yes USB Charger+ is for quick charging although I'm not sure if it works too well That doesn't make sense though, if Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework adjusts the power/temperature/fan limits, why would it make the CPU work on 100% all the time?

Hi all, I've experienced quite a few BSODs on my laptop during the last weeks, all of them with the same error message: "faulty hardware corrupted page." I did not know why that was happening but supposedly it can be due to unstable overclocking and/or overheating of components. Anyway, I...

Thanks for the solutions, everybody. As pointed out, those "USB 3.0 ports" I thought my PC had, were in fact only USB 2.0, only the PC case had it labeled like SuperSpeed ports.

Thanks for the tips. How do I update my USB 3.0 drivers, though? I used the Live Update utility from MSI (my MB manufacturer) and also the Intel Update Utility, but neither of those said that USB drivers needed updating. I could do it manually, if I knew where to download from. Here's what...

Even if those burst speeds are common, I'd expect the speed not to drop below, say, 40-60 MB/s. After all, it's not USB 2.0. Anyway, I have Windows set to automatically defragment my drive (currently says 0 % fragmented). Ran a scan with Avira, all clean. I tried copying the same file from a...

Hi all! When copying large files from my Win 8 computer to an external hard drive, the transfer speed is initially very high (>100 MB/s), but after a short while drops to 20-30 MB/s. Note that the external drive is connected to the PC's USB 3.0 port using a USB 3.0 cable. I do have write...

Hi all, I recently bought an Asus laptop, which (unsurprisingly) came with some bloatware pre-installed. One of those programs is Asus Screen Saver, which I have been unable to uninstall, as it required a password to do so. Is there a way to uninstall the program without the password, or should...

Hi, I'd like to upgrade my RAM to 8 GB. My current memory is Kingston ValueRAM 4 GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz. My question is, should I just add another 2x2GB kit with the same specs (1333Mhz, CL9 etc) so that I have 4x2GB or would I be better off replacing my current kit with a 2x4GB kit? The...
