I've read this Crucial model intermittenly loses connection with ASUS UEFI motherboards and requires a cold reboot. Has this problem been fixed?

I have an ASUS UEFI motherboard and I have never experienced a problem. However, there are no firmware updates available for the M550 as of today. I suggest you contact Crucial directly to ask about compatibility.

Do you have the ASUS Eee 1015PED?I have used it for hours on end and it still doen't get hot enough to cause any issues.

I had issues with at least two major PC brands whereas depending on the USB port I use USB flash drives, the unit is not recognized by the BIOS/UEFI, or it detects but later can't be open by the install application/boot loader. Sounds silly, but try to use a different USB port and see if that works for you.

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

Unfortunately I don't know. This particular mobo came DOA and I ended up going with an ASUS.

I dont see how the bios is relevant, if it is not posting something is dead. Start with memory, switch slots eventually try stick individually if there is more than one. If u are using a kaveri it should post with no bios update since the chipset is for kaveri, if using richland or trinity also

I own this model and I'm having the WiFi issue Asus is no help their website is useless and the customer service is poor. I will reply when I figure it out, updating the driver did nothing and upgrading to WinDos 10 same.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, no problems whatsoever. Had a lot of runtime errors with an Asus itx motherboard. Would only work with Windows XP. I think it has do with the BIOS being UEFI. After the initial boot sequence, the computer would run for 2-5 minutes and suddenly lock up and display all sorts of runtime errors. Finally gave up and used Windows XP. Otherwise, this is a much better motherboard. Highly recommended.

not sure of the version still on the box, it has a UEFI dual BIOS and i think you can download some BIOS updates if that's your concern.

I've had mine about a month and have had no such issue. I would try a different video cable and power cord, then call Asus support.

No, me personally I've owned this laptop for about a year now, and haven't had any problems. If you do, you can send it back to Asus and they have amazing customer service imo.

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.

The fix has been issued for the Sandy Bridge issue - just a bios update.. I am really waiting for this laptop to come out - but Apple is said to release Sandy Bridge laptops in March... if Asus doesn't release this computer by then or one with the second generation processors and USB 3.0 - then they will loose a potential costumer!

I just bought this laptop and I'm having the same problem. It runs fine and suddenly freezes and nothing works. The only way out is a cold boot with a prolonged unsuccessful Windows 7 repair attempt. Any ideas how to correct this problem?

My Friend, I cannot give you that answer because I've used it in a complete different motherboard. However, if you call Asus Costumer Service at: (812) 282-2787, Monday - Friday, 5:30AM - 9:00PM PST; Saturday - Sunday, 6:00AM - 3:00PM PST, I'm sure that they'll definitely give you the best answer anyone else can ever give you. I hope that my advice helped you. &#8203;

I have not had that issue. Make sure you're current with updates from Lenovo.

HERE HERE HERE! For some reason, it flat out refuses to work, or if it does theres a lot of static. Not sure if its a mobo or case issue though.
