A few questions about my G53sw

[mathew07]

Hello everyone!

I have some questions about my notebook Asus g53sw-sz159v.

1) Should this notebook be loud while is not used?

2) Can I write a blu-ray disc?

3) I have problem with play blu ray movies on Cineplayer. There was similar topic - I hava black screen during playing movie. Is there any solution for that?

Greetings from Poland,

I have additional question: is there option to write Blu-ray disc on my notebook? Or only read it?

I just googled your model, and all the results came up in Polish! So clearly, that must be a configuration specific to your region. Go ahead and google your model number yourself and find a listing that includes specs.

If you see something like BluRay/DVDRW or BD Combo listed for the optical drive, it's a BD player only (though it read and write DVDs and CDs). If you see BD Writer or BD Burner listed, you can read and write to all media, including blu-rays.

Go to controlpanel -> programs -> uninstal a program.
When you are in there, you find the Nvidia drivers, and on the right for the program, ther you can read which version you got 🙂

??? I know which version I've got. But I'm not sure if I install version 285.38 beta I could play Battlefield 3? Now I have 285.64 version.

(Then I missunderstood your last question 😛 )
Hmm, with that version you got, I would say that you can play BF3 without any worries about downgrade your graphics driver 🙂

Have you bought that game ? Or are you going to do it soon? 🙂
(If you got it, you can try how good it is on your computer 😄 )

BrodyBoy: Ok. Thanks for your help - I have unfortunately only BD player 🙂

fuzon1337: I bought it 😉 and it's fantastic. But I would like to install older graphic driver (285.38 beta as JRd1st advises) to have less graphic card temperature while doing nothing on my computer. I would like to do that because while nothing is on I have 48C GPU temperature and I think it's too high.

I don't know what's normal for your GPU in your notebook. It's a smaller notebook, and the cooling isn't as awesome as the G74, and I believe that the 460m gets hotter than the 560m for some reason. My, gpu, just now is 38C so yours is only a little higher. What counts is how well your cooling works under load.

I think that I have the same problem as here http://www.asusrog.com/forums/showthread.php?5523-G53sw-fan
