I have an Asus G73JH laptop gaming computer that I'm about at my wits ends trying to get it fixed, if anyone out there has some insight to a resolution to this problem I would be most greatful.

Asus G73JH Republic of Gamers

This is the specs and what I've done to try to remedy the problem

Fresh install of Windows 7 - 64 bit
Intel Core i7-720QM Processor (1.6 Ghz/2.8Ghz Turbo Mode, 6MB L3 Cache)
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
6GB DDR3 - 1066 RAM
Two 500 GB 7200 RPM hard drives (Seagate Momentus 7200.4/ST9500420AS) (Non RAID)
Atheros AR9285 802.11n Wireless LAN adapter
LG Blu-Ray rom/DVD RW dual layer burner

I put a fresh install of Windows 7 - 64 Bit, up to date with Windows updates, up to date AVG antivirus and Windows 7 Codec pack so it will play anything (except Blu-Ray) with WMP, you will have to download and buy the program to play Blu-Ray movies. This unit just like hundreds of thousands more of this model out there, has the same problem .... it will run programs all day long, install this and that, uninstall this and that, listen to music all day but for some reason that I can not figure out ... it locks up during video play (DVD movie, online video etc) I have taken it completely apart to make sure air ducts & fans are free from dust and debris and that both fans work properly and all was ok, I even pulled the heat sinks off the CPU and graphics processor, cleaned them to a mirror finish then put new thermal paste on them, put it all back together and it still does the same thing.

For pic of how this would run all day playing Blu Ray movies, videos off the hard drive, DVD movies, videos off the internet, http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14662318/ .

Can someone out there help ................ppppppppplease !

I copied this from a trucker buddy Luthoro
I can attest to all of the statements below are true, you see, I'm a retired trucker.

Over 75% of wrecks involving trucks are not the truck driver's fault!

Seriously guys...do me(and you) a favor: Pay attention when you're near a big truck. I know that they're supposed to be paying attention as well, but that doesn't give you the right to totally ignore safety issues around them.

I know there's a lot of animosity aimed towards big-rig drivers. Some of it is justified, but come the fuck on...We're out there trying to make our living just like you are. The last thing we want is some numbskull doing something stupid and ruining our day(or possibly career if the situation is serious enough). Yeah, truckers can do stupid shit as well and I'm not saying that they don't, however, there has to be some accountability on the non-commercial driver as well. The trucker can't be solely responsible to act safely when they're the one at the disadvantage(larger blindspots, much longer braking distance, limited maneuverability, etc...).

So in order to help you help us, I'm gonna clue you in on a few things that you, as a four-wheeler, can do to help make our jobs a lot easier. Not to mention, keep your ass alive, because lets face it...your 2500lbs sedan versus my 75,000lbs semi-truck...Not even close. So here we go:

1: We need a LOT of room to turn
So we have about 70 feet of vehicle that we have to move from one place to another. That 70 feet pivots about 15 feet from the front of the vehicle. So that leaves about 55 feet of rigid vehicle that we have to get around that turn. This means that we have to swing out pretty wide in order to avoid taking out that telephone pole right there.
The reason I bring this up is because generally we have to set this turn up beforehand in order to make the turn correctly. If it's a right hand turn, this means that there's a chance we will be sitting a little far from the side of the road. This is NOT an invitation for you to squeeze yourself in between the sidewalk and the truck. This is a GREAT way to get run over, especially since there's a large amount of blindspot on that side. That outside wheel will go right up and over the hood of your car.
This also addresses you folks who wanna pull up past the line at the light of the road we're turning onto and prevent us from completing a turn. Stop that. You're just as bad as the people trying to squeeze past us. It's annoying as hell and it's dangerous. So if the truck is about to turn, GET OUT OF ITS WAY!

2: Turn signals are not an indication to speed past the truck
On the topic of turn signals, when we turn one on, it usually means that we want to move over a lane. Since we have very large vehicles, we need a large amount of space to do this, so we tend to signal in advance(or at least I do). However, drivers seems to think that this signal means "I want over, so hurry up and speed past me". This is fine when the car is right next to us, but I've wound up missing my exit before because people blow past me out of fear of "getting stuck behind the truck". If you're behind a semi that wants to move over into your lane, stay back there. Don't try and get past them. Letting them over isn't gonna make you any later than you already are. All you're gonna do is get them cussing, or hell...they might not even see you and move over onto you. Then what? You're REALLY gonna be late.

3: "Why would you stop/pull out like that?"
Seriously...this one is my biggest pet peeve...people suddenly stopping in the middle of the road to turn or pulling out in front of a truck and not getting up to speed.
I'm operating a 75,000lb ballistic missile that (in this certain set of circumstance) is probably going about 40 miles an hour. At that rate of speed, a loaded truck takes approximately 200 feet to come to a complete stop. For those playing the home game, that's a pretty long skidmark. Our trucks do not stop on a dime, and it is absurd for you to behave in a manner that indicates you think they do.
At my old job, the plant workers had a bad habit of running this stop sign connected to the main road. A road that large trucks traveled quite often. I had a pair of close calls myself on that road, people running the stop sign and trying to "beat the truck". Luckily for them, they did. Luckily for them, I was able to react fast enough and get the truck slowed/stopped in time to keep from running them over.
One driver wasn't able to. Lady pulled out in front of him and got hit. The skid marks from the truck were only 35 feet long before the site of the impact. That's how little time she had given him to react. The truck went up and over her car and killed her. The forensics guy determined his truck had been traveling at 26 miles an hour in a 35 zone when he first hit his brakes. 20 miles an hour and it killed her.
Give the truck time to react if you're gonna stop or pull out in front of it. Seriously...

4: Don't automatically assume we know you're there.
Yeah. I know. It's my job to be aware of what's going on around me at all times and to the best of my ability, I am. HOWEVER...climb up into the cab of one of those trucks and you'll see in a big hurry just how much of that rig and the surrounding area you can't immediately see. Those stickers on the back with the "No-Zone" diagrams aren't bullshit. That's how much(if not a little less) of what we cannot see. Just because you are near our vehicle, that doesn't mean we can see you. And if we can't see you, we can't make a safe and accurate decision on how to maneuver our rig and that puts you in danger. So just be safe and give the truck a wide berth.

5: Don't. Fucking. Draft.
Drafting? Sitting close behind a truck to cut down wind resistance and by proxy MPG? That's the stupidest wannabe NASCAR bullshit I've ever heard. I don't care if Mythbusters proved it's legit, it's dangerous as fuck and a great way to get hurt or killed. It ties in with number 4 up there. DON'T. FUCKING. DO IT.

In all seriousness, guys like me have a lot on their plates every day at work on top of guiding these behemoths to their destination. We really would appreciate it if you'd stop and think about how you're acting when around a semi. Don't get up underneath us or in super close. It's dangerous. So just think responsibly when driving near a truck.

TL;DR - Don't do stupid shit around trucks and you might live.

*waves paw at everyone* Just lettin everyone know I'm still alive, I might have found someone to put the fan in Bandit's head for a very reasonable price, now I just need to find out how much it will cost to ship it round trip. I read a friends journal and they had a video link in it so I thought I would share it with all of you, get a tissue, paper towel or what ever you wish to use ... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0FJvh4va78s

No big plans in the near future, I am sorry I never made it to FCN now that they are closing up shop, I've heard it was a bunch of fun. *hugs everybody* till next time, keep it between the navigational beacons with the shiny side up and the rubber side down. SB.

This year at AC I almost melted into a puddle so I'm looking around for someone that could put a fan in my head, I have the fan, switch and battery pack.... I'm not related to Donald Trump but don't live in a cardboard box either, so if anyone out there could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. *hugs*. SB.

I have a friend that could use some help, this could be a serious medical thing if it's not taken care of very soon, so if you could, she would be very appreciative;

Well, as if things still weren't rough enough, my wisdom tooth just decided to break. I have a sharp shard that's tearing up the inside of my cheek, and I don't have any sort of file to make it dull.

I'm in a new state, living with my mate. We, and his family, are barely making ends meet. I'm looking for a job, but still have yet to get any calls for interviews, which is disheartening. My mate's mom has been looking for a second job, or even a new full-time job, and has gotten nowhere.

I have no insurance currently, and what insurance I DID have back home, no one took for dental coverage, which left me in trouble no matter what I did. I have attempted to file for Welfare/Medicaid here, but even so, that could take upwards of two-three weeks minimum to POSSIBLY be accepted just for the fact that I have to apply in person, I have to have a whole bunch of documentation (one of which my parents have to send to me), etc.

I've tried looking for free dental clinics, and the ONLY one that looked like it was even slightly promising told me "We only take non-insurance/new patients the first Monday of every month, and you have to call back 8am that morning and hope we have an appointment." Which means, even if I call in, there's a chance I may not get an appointment, and another chance I may have to wait any entire month to have anything done because they only do non-insurance work on the first Monday of every month.

Then there's the fact that I haven't quite gotten my new state ID yet, a process that takes about a week in and of itself, and most free places won't take me without that ID anyway.

Then there's the possibility of going to an oral surgeon to have the tooth removed and just pay money. Major problem here? The only place around here that will see me won't take payment plans. They also won't do any work without taking x-rays.

X-rays = $118
Dental work = $149-300+ (more if the tooth is impacted)

I'm looking at around $300+ already, even if my tooth isn't impacted. Obviously I don't have that kind of money.

I have asked for help once before, and the community helped me as much as they could, keeping me from becoming homeless. I know this isn't as dire a possibility as becoming homeless, but the pain is already there, and it's been less than a day since the tooth has been broken. If anyone could please help...I don't really have anything to offer, but if there's something you think I can do for you in return, I would be more than happy =\

TL;DR: Wisdom tooth broke, I don't have insurance, tried calling everything from free dental clinics to Welfare for insurance, got nowhere. Need approx $300 to have the tooth removed before it completely cuts up the inside of my mouth and puts me in incapacitating pain...

That's all folks !

ROOM AT THE WESTIN FOR AC 13

---

So of course, things are not going the way they were planned -____- If anyone is going to Anthrocon, or knows of anyone else that is going, and needs a room, please direct them here ! This is all the information that is posted on the AC forums.

Any questions, feel free to post here or note me ;w; My friends don't want to not be stressed ASAP D:

My friends mate and him, along with me, have a spot opened up in our Westin Hotel room.



This is a sleeping, resting and changing room for clothes/fursuits. We do not wish to have any parties, smokers or alcoholics, thanks!



Dates: July 3rd-7th

Price: $173.30 (14% tax is already included in this price) - We want to pay the room off early, so please be able to pay up front after confirming you would like to stay with us.



Current roommates are, as I stated before, my friends mate and her, as well as myself. Last year, I was completely kicked out of the bed, so I have laid claim to it this year due to his back and health problems. There is plenty of room for a smaller air mattress in the room if you wish you have a bed to yourself, just in case! We can try to request a cot when we get there, but of course that's never a guarantee as they tend to go very quickly with as many people are attending Anthrocon. We can also try to scrounge up an air mattress if absolutely necessary, anything to make you feel more comfortable, but if you have one of your own, all the better! ^^



All three of us are fur suiters, and will be in and out of the room to change in and out of our suits.



If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me either through this thread, or sending me a PM =) We hope to be rooming with someone soon, and hopefully to make a new friend too!

Check out this guy, he is making free AC badges, but it's limited to those that are going to AC 13 and it's limited to 20 total badges, go commish him for your very own here http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/...../#cid:33198821 ... SB.

I stole this from Doomwulf and I added the last paragraph myself.


Dear bullies,

The boy you punched in the hall today. Committed suicide a few min ago. That girl you called a slut in class today. Shes a virgin. The boy you called lame. He has to work every night to support his family. That girl you pushed down the other day is already being abused at home. You think you know them. Guess what, you don't! Re-post if you are against bullying. I bet 99% of you won't , Repost this if your that 1% with a heart

I can honestly say how sorry I feel for someone that is being bullied because you see, I am that kid that you pushed my books out of my hands, spit on me, punched me in the back so hard I fell to the ground, called me names and made me despise school so much that I almost dropped out.

I'm a happy dawg today... when I went to my mailbox I found a package in there that contained my Room 366 collar and tag... I can't wait to wear it and show it off at AC this summer. *runs in happy circles*.
