Sandy Bridge recall still affecting ASUS N53SV-XV1? Has the flawed motherboard been replaced already?

Hello, Amazon never received any of the recalled Sandy Bridge N53SV-XV1, so all of their stock is the new "good" Sandy Bridge. Thank you for your interest!

Possibility, with bios update, however, this motherboard went dead on me after only two days

Rafael, I am a total Asus fan but I had to return the first laptop I ordered because the key board wasn't lit up and the keys didn't work properly (particularly the cap key). After researching this further I found that Asus is having some quality control issues on this and similar current models and and that they had numerous people complaining about any number of items. My life update wasn't working, some of the drivers weren't working so I returned mine to Amazon (within the 30 days period) and got a replacement. No issues whatsoever with the replacement laptop. If you cannot return the laptop to Amazon I urge you to get this thing fixed by Asus under the warranty ASAP. Sorry, wish I had better news.

Jake,if you can check the Gigabyte website for a listing of memory types,if the you have is supported,then I would remove all but one, restart, repeat, until bad mods are found

The motherboard I have for sale should have version 4701 dated 2014/06/23. It was just returned from ASUS support as an RMA replacement and is certified 'like new' by ASUS.

Exactly. Asus Bios managment makes it a snap. Verify before updating you may already have the lastest installed.

Yes only socket LGA2011 CPU's though. Sandy Bridge is just a code name for Intel Processors.BTW I do not recommend this board after 2x DOA's brand new.Just saiyan..

No sir. That is a socket 1155 motherboard. This is socket 1150. 1155 was the last generation socket for Sandy bridge/ Ivy Bridge.Haswell (this newest generation) and whatever comes next will be socket 1150. Look on Amazon and other sellers by socket type. Filter/ search by 1150 (and mini-itx if you so desire that small form-factor)Happy hunting.Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Most Asus Socket 1150 boards do come with bridge and support SLI. This is not my latest board. Your Best Bet is to contact ASUS Tech Support: 1-812-282-2787. Some of the best, knowledgeable, eager-to-help support ever. Monday - Friday, 5:30AM - 11:00PM PST and Saturday - Sunday, 6:00AM - 3:00PM PST. You'll definitely get your questions answered there. Good Luck!!

Just a checklist of some basic stuff: a) Drivers? Are you using the stuff your OS auto-detects and installs (Windows 7 defaulted to VGA drivers in my installation), old/new/beta AMD, or modded/custom drivers (e.g. Omega) b) stock settings or overclocked? Some cards come OC'd by default, which can cause poor performance and crashing if your system is not prepared to deal with excess heat and power drain. c) single card or running in Crossfire? Again, having two cards can cause heating and power issues. Also make sure the bridge is firmly seated on both cards. Of course there are other things which can go wrong (failing memory and such), but thought I would cover the basics and the easiest to fix. What specific error message is your BSOD giving you? Are you sure it is directly related to the card, or did it perhaps exacerbate some other underlying issue? Does it happen when trying to run certain programs? The most common hardware related causes I've had in the past were either driver related or due to failing hard-disks and faulty RAM. The first steps I would take would to be to remove and re-seat the card, preferably into a different PCI-E slot if available, check to make sure the power supply is rated sufficiently high enough to meet the card's demands, make sure the case is clean and the fans are properly circulating air. Start the PC in safe mode, uninstall the old drivers, install the new ones (maybe experimenting with different versions) and then reboot. On the off-chance it is memory related, also try swapping out your RAM sticks from the DIMM slots as to test each to make sure both they and the slots themselves are in working order. Typically if I wanted to test if it was hardware related or some quirk with Windows or its drivers, I would boot into a Linux flash disk and see if I could get everything working there all right. Take this with the caveat I'm not a professional in this subject, but just drawing from my years of personal experience.

I'm sorry, if it was purchased brand new. You can chat with Asus support on their website. Give them the serial number and they will advise you regarding the warranty and what steps to take.

I had this same problem many years ago. I had to have someone come take a look at the unit, if I recall correctly. Checked drafting and condensation lines. I know I had to have the motherboard replaced around that time and I think it was for this same reason, that I couldn't get the code to clear. That was probably 7-8 years ago and I haven't had a single issue with the unit since. Sorry I can't offer you more. Maybe I'll ask the wife, here memory serves better than mine.

I diligently filled out the requisite paperwork to get the warranty, sent it to the address on the form (44370 Nobel Drv. in Fremont CA) and just had it returned by the postoffice, saying it is not deliverable to that address. ASUS!!!! That is not a good start to our relationship. :( I am going to report them to my local newspaper in Chicago to see if they can get to the bottom of this.Be warned ASUS and those of you considering such a purchase.

I purchased mine around the same time, and had no problems. It's difficult to advise you here though (because of so little info about your problem and no back and forth). I suggest checking Asus' support site. While it's hard to navigate, it does have lots of info, including (I believe) teardown docs for replacing the hard drive and memory.

All ASUS motherboards after 1999 have a standard 3 year warranty but as I have found - good luck with that. I never could get support for the problem I was having. The MB would just start resetting before it would go into POST. There was no way to stop it and I could not find out why. I replace the power supply with a larger one (1300 watt) and replace the memory with another out of their auth. memory supply list. ASUS never gave me any help on this issue so I don't really have any confidence in a warranty.

Call ASUS at 1-888-678-3688 and have your serial number ready. You should still be in warranty. You will have to pay to ship it to them and wait for ASUS to return it.
