Figured I'd start this since I hadn't gotten around to it yet. Will start a FAQ in the coming days.

I would like to be the first to reply to your owners thread. I am/was a proud owner of an Asus Maximus V Extreme (I know not a formula but very similar) and it died yesterday. It is in a continuous bootloop where it updates the iROG chip, the same chip that is in the formula. The update takes 6+ hours and can not be avoided nor the bios entered

After four very long frustrating calls (~1hour a piece) the advanced RMA hell has started. 48 Hours for them to check there warehouse inventory to see if they can do an advanced RMA, 48 hours to process my paperwork, 48 hours to process and ship it, and another 3-5 days to receive it.

Anyone want to take any bets when I get my board back?

I love this board and Asus products but when they fail, it SUCKS to deal with them.

      Alienware M17x R3 BSOD after Ram Memory Upgrade
      By yoshomiamoto
      Hello Fellow Tech Gurus!

      I am having a huge headache after upgrading the ram memory of my m17x r3. 

      First let me start by saying I have been experiencing issues with my current ram setup recently, and so i decided to replace the ram inside of my computer, thinking they had gone out on me. It originally came with x4 2gb memory sticks, and as I started to experience issue, I started to removed them, and I was down to 1 2gb stick. It seems to me ram slots 1 & 2 are not working properly as when I put ram memory into them I would get BSOD in 5-10 mins of computer usage after boot. So I am thinking the slots have gone out. I also tested each slot individually and still same effect.

      So I went on the try out slots 3 & 4 under the keyboard, which seems to work just fine when I use only 1 ram chip in one or the other. But the problem occurs when I try and fill both ram slots in slots 3 & 4 under the keyboard with crucial 2x 8 gb of ram sticks, which total to 16gb total ram memory.

      BSOD and freezing occurs like crazy. But if I use just one of the ram sticks in either slot, no problem.

      I dunno if this is hardware or software. I am think that my motherboard is on its way out the door, but any suggestions you all have would be great. I have already clean installed win 7, and is currently running bios A10 (unlocked, I believe)

      I would also like to note that my motherboards internal vga is not detected, and just noticed this a few days ago upon trying to figure out the ram situation.

      other issues is my laptop battery is pretty much dead, and the only for my computer to cut on is if the AC adapter is connected

      I would also like to know can 1x 16gb 1600 ram stick run in my computer? or is it not supported by my motherboard? 

      thanks!

      Asus ROG White Lists
      By hapticfish
      Hi Guys,
       
      Im looking to possibly get a new laptop, but was wondering what laptops you guys would suggest for gaming and that doesn't have hardware whitelisting so I can update my wifi card and other hardware in the future. I heard that Asus doesn't lock down there hardware with a white list. My current laptop, Lenovo Y500 Ideapad, has a white list and im not able to swap out the wifi card because of it. Let me know what you guys think.
