My laptop has this problem where after a couple of hours it starts lagging to the point that its unusable. When I try to restart it, it just hangs on the "Restarting" screen. I always end up hard resetting it.
It's an Asus N53SN running Windows 8 at the moment. The problem started a couple months ago, when I was still running Windows 7.
Things I've done:
Re-install drivers
Format and re-install Windows 7
Sent it in to Asus, they reformatted it, re-installed Windows 7 and new drivers (That was useless, and I'm out of warranty now)
Format and install Windows 8
2Have you tried to spirit away dirt from the inside part of your laptop (Clean Cooler) ?? – Nidzaaaa – 2013-01-08T14:08:41.683
My experience with Asus is very good, as this went wrong during warranty (which they have on record) and isn't fixed they may still help you out. – Dave – 2013-01-08T14:13:12.483
1So on a completely clean installation of Windows 8 with absolutely no custom software at all, just rebooting the machine hangs and you have to hard reset it? And what programs do you run when it becomes "slow and unusable"? Does it happen if you just run a simple web browser? – allquixotic – 2013-01-08T14:24:14.820
I haven't tried to clean the inside, I'll try that this weekend. As for the install, yes it was a clean install, and it happens after a couple of hours of using. That eliminates software right? – Kabloo – 2013-01-08T15:09:21.717
