ASUS ROG GL55vw laptop Problems

[VEGANATOR]

Anyone else is having problems with Asus laptops?

This is the second graphic card that dies, this time, off warranty.
Asus says he doesn't care, that if I want I can pay the 500$ and the 80$ fee repair plus post.

Right now I have a 2300$ paperweight Asus brand.

Can I ask, I mean since you did spend $2300; did you buy the 3 or 4 year extended warranty?

I mean hey, if it's a couple years old and out of warranty, how is that the makers problem.
Gaming on Laptops is bound to kill them much faster, regardless of which Laptop you buy.

"Republic Of Gamers" I've played Tetris in 90$ Android devices that lasted three times that.
Well, you would expect that a bloody 2300$ laptop last longer that 450 days before it becomes a paperweight right?

I was expecting a reply from Asus like "not a problem, that it's really unusual, our 2.5K gaming laptops are the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ top, we will repair it" But they talk to you like if they were selling 20$ toasters (which they last way longer)

It's like if I buy a car and they ask me for a one year extended warranty, like.. C'mon man!? Who builds cars that don't last more than a bloody year!??

Am I on drugs? Or I'm the only user that expects a laptop lasting more than a year?

Not too good lately. My previous ASUS mobo had a dead GPU slot and sometimes it forgot the connected SATA devices.
My new ASUS keyboard looks totally different as it was shown in the webshop (even on the box) Guess they are generally dropping the QC lately.

Well u can have probs with any brands, evga for example had burning gpu's, msi broken fans back in the days etc.

But never had rly probs with Asus so far. (mobo/gpu)

*But if it's broken, u could use the warranty..
**nvm, only 1 Year, but if u have the money for an asus rog nb, why no warranty extension? ..

I'm using Asus monitors,atm i have PG279Q . At first i had some problems with this new model,but i managed to fix it on my own . Everything else except starting problems about my monitor is 10/10...

However,i have to say they have awful support and tehnical service . I live in Croatia,in Zagreb - Asus don't have a single service center who is able to fix possible issues with my monitor - if something happens,ill have to send it to Czech Republic .

I like their mobos but I wouldn't buy anything else from them based on experiences with a monitor and a tablet.

Had an Asus router, it went dead after 8 months.

Have an Asus mobo for my A10-6800k apu (an F2A85M-Pro). USB ports on the back died after 2 years (the front headers still work). Ran 1.44v on a mild overclock (to 4.4 Ghz) and it's still solid. Not happy about the usb thing, but good vrm on an FM2 board wasn't that common when I built the rig 3 years ago. (I've since upgraded to a Core i5 on an Asrock board.)

Have an Asus Direct CU II R7 260X (it was my primary gaming gpu for 2 years). This is the third one, after I had to rma the first two. Not sure what is different about it, but I beat on it hard with all manner of games, and it's tank-y. Underpowered these days of course, otherwise I'd still be using it as my primary. (The rma thing led me to switch to MSI for my latest gpu. Not interested in rma'ing multiple times to get a working gpu.)

Currently using an Asus VH-236H monitor, have had it for four years, very happy with it, haven't had any problems (touch wood).

I have an ASUS mobo, gpu, monitor and router. I always recommend their products(although not their software...gputweak is crap) and the one bad mobo I've seen someone get was replaced relatively quickly. Their CS isn't as bad as some make it out to be, there's horror stories with every brand.

We actually have very hot summer here so it's high chance OP laptop GPU died due to continue overheating. We are talking about 45C temperature outside during heatwave.

This is the second ASUS RPG laptop that dies in a year, in fact, JBHFI don't sell them anymore in Australia XD (coincidence?...i don't think so.. )
