I updated the graphics drivers to the latest from Intel and the computer started behaving very strangely. I could not control the brightness properly so I reinstalled the Asus drivers from 1005PE. As far as the broadcom driver, the one from Broadcom.com is working properly so far.

I have the same problem as Dwolf. It happened because I upgraded the RAM to 2G (crucial brand) 800 mhz RAM. When I swap back to the orginal RAM it is ok.The only other thing is that when you plug and unplug it changes performance settings. So it could all be related?update: Put in another brand of ram (kingston) ands its ok now

Bring it up, then do a restart. Hit f2 multiple times during the restart. You'll get the BIOS screen. Unfortunately, when I installed this particular module on my 1000HE the videos (.wmv and mpegs) got choppy. I switched to Crucial Technology CT25664AC800 2GB 200-pin SODIMM DDR2 PC2-6400 Memory Module by Crucial and the problem is gone.

I'd like to help very much but I'm not as computer savvy as you would hope!! However I do know this mouse is a crappy thing, it has a mind of it's own & will work if it wants to & won't!! Try another mouse to see if you get the same problem, the mouse I have also had the lights on but yet nobody was home!! Try another mouse from a friend if you don't have one & the best I can tell you is to buy another mouse that's value is $15. or more 7 it doesn't come from any part of Asia!!! Good luck & sorry you have the same bad luck I did!!!

Thank you all for your comments and tips. Ive just exchanged the monitor for another unit and the replacement unit does not have the same first start/powering on flickering. Btw, i tested the original unit on a ps4, 2 diferent desktops, and a laptop each with their own cable but the result were the same. In the manual it stated that flickering is "normal" due to the nature of the LED backlit, and call support only when the monitor no longer power on due to the flickering. (...?)

Hello and good day. After calling customer service,I ended up returning it to Toshiba to get fixed. Since then, no problem. I also had a faulty lamp.

When I got it I was initially having issues with BSODs whenever I would exit out of a game and try to load up another one. I believe that this was caused because of the graphics cards clashing with each other. I have since changed it to make the nvidia my primary processor (if I'm remembering right I did this by going into the Nvidia control panel, clicking the Manage 3D Settings, selecting Global Settings and then making it the prefered processor rather than allowing it to auto-select... however it's been a while so I may be remembering poorly). After I made that change I haven't had it BSoD on me once. When I got it I was initially having issues with BSODs whenever I would exit out of a game and try to load up another one.

I have never had that problem. It is probably just your particular monitor. You need to contact Amazon and they will get you another or do something to help you out.

I had the same exact problem and have pretty much tried everything to resolve with no solution that works 100% of the time. In talking with Crucial, they will exchange the memory even if you didn't buy it direct. But how does one know which memory chips will work without this frustrating problem that occurs even when trying to hybernate or sleep? I've been stalling and hoping that ASUS would update their BIOS and memory handling abilities, but their support is useless for this.

Yes, I'm noticing that it happens after it comes back from hibernation for me. Screen opens bright for a second, then goes dim. I suspect something with the power-saving options compromising the screen performance. Still haven't figured it out :(

The skin tone flashing and auto dimming are two seperate things. My set had auto dim issues (screen going nearly black) and the first update took care of it. I still have the flashing issue, sometimes severe, and the updates do not fix it. Go to avsforum and search it, it's a huge issue with these sets. Type in "red flashing".

That happened to me. I needed mad driver updates, and if you download those and it still doesn't work, (if you hopefully have a warranty) you can send it in and they'll get your software up to speed. I got my drivers here. http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=V500CA&p=3&s=495 You can try finding the specific one you want, or download all of them in that category.

30 seconds for the computer to turn on. Full brightness is very fast. The problem is waking up your computer to send a signal to the monitor isn't stable. Sometimes I'll get lucky and it'll work within seconds. Other times, I had to lift my laptop display. The thing is there are no drivers, which apple or acer have to address. Other than that the monitor is good.Does anyone besides me run this monitor on a mac?

I had the first problem and called the ASUS support. They said it is not correct. Either get the monitor fixed or replaced. I didn't notice the second problem. But if it happens, I believe that press and hold the most left button on the monitor. The screen will center itself. Best Wishes. Li

maybe double check the settings menu, I saw a "dynamic contrast" in there somewhere. Don't know if it would help any, or if it's default on or off, I was clicking all over the place! It could also be using more power to light up the screen? Is your video card good for the resolution? Just guesses....

I've had mixed behavior on mine. The LED on the first port works as expected, each of the other LEDs have been irregular. I've noticed that if I restart my PC, the LEDs don't always come back on for ports that are enabled (even though the ports may be working). Other times I actually have to toggle the port on/off to get it working after a PC restart... and the LEDs may or may not come back on to reflect the status. Short answer; mine acts weird too.

Board is very touchy. Several comments on other forums indicate problems. We have tried it in two different Desktops. One worked satisfactorily, one did not. Neither were Dell systems. We found the main issue was power management that disabled the board. This was true even if we unchecked this is the driver. We did find the StarTech has a download to allow power management by the motherboard to be disabled and a new firmware release to be installed. This helped a bit. The main advantage was after the updates we could restore the driver with a warm boot but the system still loses the board on a weekly basis when we do our intensive updates to an external drive we have connected to the card. So I would be cautious. Maybe other products s/b checked out too.
