Windows 10: Strange issue with asus k55vd - I suspect mainboard is broken/failing

Hello.

I need urgent help. This asus laptop was working fine and out of thin air it booted to a black screen and the user could not boot into w10 anymore.

I performed a clean installation which seemingly went fine but trying to install vga driver (intel hd 4000. Processor is i7 3rd gen. Ivy bridge) put w10 on another permanent black screen.

I have also noticed Realtek audio wasn't working either although driver seemed fine.

Everytime the system is restarted, the black screen appears (no bios post). If shutdown is forced it will start normally afterwards.

BIOS is up to date. Tried reflashing it but ASUS EZ Flash 2 isn't working either.

I also did a memory test and tried different memory sticks. No difference at all.

IDEAS?

:)

 

Asus K55VD- Windows 10 Touchpad issue

I am using Asus K55VD laptop. My touchpad suddenly stopped working. After various tries it could not start. Then finally I tried with drivers. It could not get updated or roll back. so I uninstalled. Now I want to again install the driver so that I can get
good performance with touchpad. Now touchpad is working but with lot of delay.

What kind of quad.

I suspect you are at "the edge" of the power rating for the mainboard. Perhaps Q6600 wasnt listed due to TWO versions, C3 stepping at 105W and G0 stepping at 95W. Furthermore, if you OC the G0 Q6600 then it will use more than 95W. Since Q9300 is on a 1333 buss, then perhaps the BIOS doesnt give you scope to OC it, keeping it well withing the 95W envelope.

My suggestion is, if the mainboard is important to you and you dont want to blow the power regulators or caps, to NOT OC the Q6600. Take the thing out of design spec (by OC'ing it) and you may very well rapidly reduce the half-life of your board.

Also, as erocker suggests, there are 65W quads out now. I think those are better suited to this mainboard.

Good luck.
