I had issues with my laptop (I had previously returned it hoping ASUS support would fix it) and they didn't. They just replaced some parts inside and put in a newly imaged ssd. Looks like the CPU gets stuck at 0.39Ghz all the time unless you have the Armory Crate service installed and running. This means vanilla Windows or Linux are a no go. I was waiting for a newer BIOS before trying again but even version 300 does not fix the 0.39Ghz issue. The only thing that makes this laptop function is Armory Crate. Don't buy this piece of junk.

Has anybody confirmed that downgrading the BIOS to 205 fixes the issue? I haven't tried it on mine, I just sent it in due to the other issues I had with it. My RMA says they are waiting on parts.

Same thing happened to me today. ASUS Support insisted that it was a hardware fault with the CPU and that they would fix it. I'm not convinced since I believe that the bios that came with my laptop (I think it was 204) didn't have that problem. Unfortunately, the older bios versions are not available to download from ASUS website. Planning on sending it in tomorrow unless I can find a way to fix it.
