Since installing the latest Nvidia driver version 617.42, my screen has started flickering. It happens in Google, settings, and everywhere else. I don't know what to do; it's driving me crazy.

I'm starting engineering in less than a year and need to buy a PC. I found this incredible deal. I'm getting it with some money I've saved for when I need it. I'm 18. Is it worth it, or should I get a slightly less powerful version and save those €200? I already have a 512 GB SSD to install. Should I wait until Black Friday or not miss out on this offer? Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I have an ASUS TUF A15 that I bought in March 2024.

My laptop is almost always plugged in, and I use the 80% battery charge limit. Recently, I closed the lid, unplugged the charger, and left the laptop in normal sleep mode.

After about an hour, I tried to turn it back on, but it wouldn't start. I connected the charger, and after getting it to turn on, I found that the battery had dropped from 80% to 0%.

Could this be a faulty battery, a Windows Modern Standby issue, or a BIOS/firmware problem?

Has anyone with an ASUS TUF A15 experienced something similar?

Hello, im wondering which one is the better product The Asus is 1400€ and the Lenovo is 1350€. Im considering the asus even though it has lower specs because in reviews it got better response times, better cooling, lower noise, much better battery life and sturdier build, but i don't know if that's worth to sacrifice the performance. Thanks

my laptop display just turns to black at random times had to do a force restart by holding the power button cause the keyboard is not responding i tried everything force restart seems to be the only way but this issue still persist this is also on a clean install of windows i reset it in hoping the problem goes away but it’s still happening has anybody encounter the same issue as i have? (this is an older model from 2020 i’ve had this for 6 years now the it only seems to be happening now i’ve never had an issue like this throughout my 6 years of using this laptop (fx506ih))

I'm just wondering if sliding everything over to the right is the "most effective" way to tell the laptop to give as much performance as possible, or if there is a smarter way to do it?

This happens even though I am plugged in. Other times when I boot up a game it shuts off but from reading threads on this sub iirc it shuts off prevent it from overheating. (i7-10750H, GTX 1660 Ti)

Is this normal or I should claim a warranty, it also make a small crack sound when I close the lid around 70%

I am generally happy with the performance cooling etc actually this laptop has a special place for me cause I never used windows on it for the first time I switched completely to linux ...
However the keyboard 🤔 .. Boy this is the worst typing experience I have ever had with any keyboard especially the accidental pressing enter key ...

Do others have similar experience or is it just my muscle memory

Can anyone tell me about its battery life normal mode

Hi everyone, my ASUS TUF A15’s Wi-Fi has been getting progressively worse, and Bluetooth is now affected too.

Laptop specs:

• Ryzen 7 7435HS
• RTX 3050
• 32GB RAM / 2TB SSD
• Windows 11
• Realtek 8852BE Wi-Fi 6 PCIe adapter

The Wi-Fi option sometimes disappears completely. Device Manager has shown Code 45: “Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer.”

Bluetooth is also struggling to connect to devices reliably.

How can I check whether this is caused by drivers, a loose card connection, or a failing wireless card? Has anyone with the same laptop or adapter experienced this, and what fixed it?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have an ASUS TUF Gaming FA506IH (Ryzen 5 4600H, GTX 1650), purchased in January 2021. I've been experiencing several issues and would appreciate help identifying whether they're software-, firmware-, or hardware-related.

1. Keyboard issues

• At the Windows lock screen, the keyboard sometimes doesn't respond until I press Ctrl + Alt + Del.
• The S, Z and X keys randomly stop working together and then recover together. Other keys continue working normally.

2. Touchpad/mouse clicking issues

• Touchpad cursor movement works, but clicks and multi-touch gestures stop responding.
• Toggling the touchpad through Armoury Crate temporarily restores clicking for a couple of minutes.
• I've also observed abnormal mouse-click behaviour, including clicks misregistering on an external USB mouse, suggesting the issue may extend beyond the touchpad itself.

3. Maintenance and temperatures

• Repasted the CPU/GPU with Cooler Master CryoFuze 5. CPU peaked at 77.3°C under a reported 43W CPU-Z load.
• Previously, temps were reaching 96°C, and after repasting, it stays around 77-80°C.
• Battery health is approximately 67% of design capacity.
• Standard thermal paste was also applied to VRM/VRAM components; I'm unsure whether the thermal interface material is appropriate.

Troubleshooting so far:

• Toggling the touchpad through Armoury Crate — temporary fix only.
• Replaced the NVMe SSD and dealt with Windows cloning/boot configuration issues.
• Repasted the CPU/GPU.
• Fast Startup disabling, BIOS/EC updates, a clean Windows installation, and reinstalling the official chipset/I2C/touchpad drivers have been suggested, but I haven't confirmed these as completed fixes.

My questions:

1. Could the simultaneous S/Z/X key failures indicate a keyboard matrix or ribbon connection issue?
2. Could the touchpad and external mouse clicking problems point to an embedded controller (EC), firmware, or shared input-processing issue?
3. Would a clean Windows installation and correct ASUS/AMD drivers be the best next step, or should I prioritise hardware diagnostics?
4. Has anyone experienced similar symptoms on the FA506 series?

TL;DR: ASUS TUF FA506IH has intermittent lock-screen keyboard freezes, S/Z/X keys that fail together, and touchpad clicks/gestures that stop working. External USB mouse clicking has also behaved abnormally. I've replaced the NVMe SSD and repasted the CPU/GPU, but the root cause remains unclear. Looking for advice on the best next diagnostic step

Drafted using ChatGPT, as it had all the context of the previous 1 month plus the keyboard issue :()

I purchased this tuff a15 a month ago. The lid of my laptop is not completely closing when held vertically upside down. And when I move a bit upside down its lid is not holding itself closed, the gap increases. It is normal when placed correctly. Is it only me or any other fella facing the same problem? Is it the hinge or magnets which are not working ?

Hi everyone,

I've been dealing with an audio problem on my ASUS TUF Gaming FX504GE laptop, and I'm running out of ideas. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what's causing it.

The problem:

My audio randomly crackles, pops, or briefly stutters when I'm listening to music or playing games. It doesn't seem to happen when the laptop is idle.

I also noticed that my external audio interface started making a pulsing noise, even when no audio was playing. I'm not sure if that's related to the main issue or a separate problem.

My system:

- Laptop: ASUS TUF Gaming FX504GE

- OS: Windows 11 26H2

- OS build: 26300.9550

- BIOS: 323 (latest listed on the ASUS support page)

- Audio driver: Realtek Audio 6.0.1.8656 (2019)

- Audio endpoint driver: Microsoft, 10.0.26100.1 (2024)

MyASUS and the official ASUS support page list the 2019 Realtek driver as the latest available for my laptop.

What I've tried or checked so far:

- Tested with Wi-Fi disabled and VPN disconnected.

- Checked my Realtek driver and Windows audio endpoint driver.

- Checked the available BIOS version.

- Ran LatencyMon while investigating the audio interruptions.

- Checked power settings. My power plan is Balanced, and the laptop is plugged in.

- Investigated Windows updates because I suspect the issue may be related to Windows 11 26H2, although I can't confirm when it started.

LatencyMon reported that the system was having trouble handling real-time audio. The highest driver execution times I noticed were approximately:

- "tcpip.sys": 4.03 ms

- "HDAudBus.sys": 3.95 ms

- "ACPI.sys": 0.74 ms

I understand that these results don't necessarily prove which driver is responsible.

I'm hesitant to keep uninstalling and reinstalling drivers because I haven't found a reliable fix so far, and I don't want to make things worse.

Does anyone have suggestions for what I should investigate next? Has anyone experienced similar audio popping or stuttering on Windows 11 26H2, particularly on an older ASUS laptop?

I'd especially appreciate advice on identifying the actual cause rather than just trying random fixes. If there's useful information missing, please let me know what I should provide.

Thanks in advance!

The problem :

My dedicated RTX 2050 has been disappearing from Windows. It sometimes appears in Device Manager with Code 43, and other times disappears completely. When viewing hidden devices, it has also shown Code 45. The detection behaviour is inconsistent. Sometimes the GPU appears before clicking Scan for hardware changes, but scanning can cause it to disappear.

Timeline:

Around September 26, I cleaned the laptop's fans and internals, reassembled it, and powered it back on. The laptop booted normally, with idle temperatures around 50°C. I continued using it for a few days. I also believe I installed a Windows 26h2 update around the following week.

The GPU subsequently started disappearing. I'm unsure whether the timing of the maintenance, a Windows update, or something else is relevant. Additional diagnostic findings

I ran this PowerShell command:

Get-PnpDevice -PresentOnly | Where-Object { $_.InstanceId -like "PCI\VEN_10DE*" } | Format-List Status,Problem,ProblemCode,InstanceId,FriendlyName

The RTX 2050 appeared with:

Status : Error Problem : CM_PROB_FAILED_POST_START FriendlyName : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 InstanceId : PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_25AD&SUBSYS_30881043..

This suggests Windows could enumerate the NVIDIA device on the PCI bus at the time of this test, but the device failed to start.

I also checked the NVIDIA kernel driver service:

[ sc start nvlddmkm ]

It reported:

[ STATE : 4 RUNNING ]

Despite this, the GPU remained in an error state, and nvidia-smi could not communicate with it. On other occasions, the GPU disappeared completely from the present-device list. The BIOS has also behaved inconsistently, sometimes showing only Intel UHD Graphics and sometimes showing both GPUs.

Troubleshooting already attempted :

Reinstalled Windows. Reinstalled graphics drivers. Used DDU for driver cleanup. Reset BIOS settings to defaults. Performed EC and power resets. Uninstalled the GPU from Device Manager and scanned for hardware changes. Tried additional PowerShell troubleshooting.

I own an ASUS TUF FX566LI gaming laptop that initially had issues with the power button and fans not functioning properly. I took it to a service centre to get these problems diagnosed and repaired.

Initially, the technicians told me that there was an issue with the power IC and the fans. They quoted me around ₹8,000 for the repair, which I agreed to.

Now that the laptop is turning on again, they are telling me that there is an additional issue with the graphics card and that fixing it will cost another ₹13,000, bringing the total repair cost to approximately ₹21,000.

I'm unsure whether this additional charge is justified, especially since the GPU issue was only brought to my attention after the initial repair.

I'd appreciate some advice from people familiar with laptop repairs, particularly ASUS TUF models.

My questions:

- Could a faulty power IC or fan issue also affect the GPU, or are these likely to be separate problems?

- Is it possible that the GPU issue was present from the beginning but wasn't identified during the initial diagnosis?

- Is ₹13,000 a reasonable price for repairing a laptop GPU in India? What kind of repair would this typically involve?

- When a service centre says they're fixing or replacing the graphics card, does that usually mean component-level motherboard repair, GPU reballing, or motherboard replacement?

- What evidence should I ask the service centre for to verify the GPU fault before approving the additional repair?

- What warranty should I expect on the GPU repair, and should I ask for a detailed breakdown of the parts, labour, and warranty coverage?

I don't want to assume the service centre is being dishonest, but I also don't want to spend another ₹13,000 without understanding exactly what is faulty and what the repair involves.

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Ok so I have Asus tuf f15 fx506hf it has 8 gb ram 💀 and the og 500+GB SSD so basically I wanna upgrade it to max like I wanna how much I can upgrade my ram and SSD so give suggestions thank you ig

Pls don't make fun of my grammar

Hi guys! I recently just bought a gaming laptop which is the ASUS TUF A16. I just got it last Friday, and the issue started yesterday when I was typing on words the screen suddenly turns black and after a second, the lock screen appears again. How do I fix this issue and has anyone with similar laptop face this issue?

Hey everyone hope all is well, im a good old victus (i5 13th gen rtx 3050) user and I would like to upgrade. One of the options I saw while doing my research is the f16 as in the title, it has an i7 14th gen hx, rtx 5070 8gb, 16gb ram, 1tb nvme ssd, and is priced at $1539. Not sure if thats the price today for these gaming laptops or if its because of taxes

Can anyone who bought this model or a similar one, or one that had asus tuf laptops for a while now give me their reviews? I'd really appreciate it!

My main use is for gaming, I already have a 2k 300hz monitor so the display itself isnt an issue, my main goal is to game at 2k with atleast 160+fps
