@john is right, every computer line has problems, it's just the nature of the game. Remember that around here, a lot of people are new on tweaking their systems, and they mess things up. Those of us who frequent the forums are busy attempting to help others on our own time. Some people have hardware problems, yes, but most of the time it is simply software, and we are able to help them. For instance, over the last two days, I was able to help some gal get her computer running reliably--corrupted video driver. I showed her how to uninstall the old driver, clean it out under Safe Mode, and then install the new one, and she reports that her system is running perfectly. I was not the only one who chipped in, several other members of the forum did as well.
Don't worry about hardware failure risks, if they occur, contact one of the "@ASUS" members if you have problems with ASUS customer support. As a number of the old hands will agree, the vast bulk of the threads around here are something like: "Help, I was messing around with my computer, and now it won't boot." or "I was fiddling with things that I didn't understand, and I messed something up. Plz help."
While I am not trying to make fun of people who make mistakes--don't we all!--I just wanted to point out that most of the issues are happily and quickly resolved. The longer threads are not usually problems, as much as we like chatting about working on our computers, and we are eager to learn how somebody's experiment turned out. That's just the ROG'n way :). Best of luck!
