nope doesnt happen in safe mode, i've tried the catalyst 6.9 drivers that came with the notebook alone with the latest ones on asus' website and nothing changes

no it boots normally until after the windows logo, but instead of a welcome screen I just get a blank screen it seems to happen at random though, and never happens when im using an external monitor, which makes me think its a video card...

Hi, I recently ordered a z96j from gentech and have a weird problem which i haven't been able to solve. It seems that about 50% of the time I boot into windows the screen just goes blank after the initial windows startup logo. There...

Hi, i recently purchased a z96j from gentech. Hasn't arrived yet, but i planned on installed 2 gigs of 533 mhz ram from my i9300 instead of buying some new 667 stuff. Will this work? I seem to be reading conflicting answers regarding...

if your a smart consumer i seriously doubt you can beat dells prices, though i agree the guys in their marketing department are on crack
