Hi, I just checked event viewer today and i found a bunch of these. Possibly started since december/January.



I haven't received any crashes or anything but I'm scared.

Bus:Device:Function: 0x0:0x3:0x0

That was a common error on the G51J/Jx. On the J it was mostly fixed after BIOS 208, I'm not sure about the Jx. What BIOS are you on?

The latest one, whatever it may be lol. How can i check to be sure?

CPU-Z should tell you your bios revision. Also winflash or probably other system info utilities.

I'm on 208. Checked using Everest.

So is this something to be concerned about?

Yes if it continues, especially if there are a lot of those warnings, I would consider a fresh install or if that doesn't work, sending it in for RMA before your warranty expires. You shouldn't see these errors frequently - every once in a while maybe but not a bunch of them repeated.

I had about 4 of them today =/.

Any idea what's causing it? The GPU?

Some googling said that it might be the intel chipset, but I'm up to date with those drivers.

I'm not exactly sure, I asked but it was never answered by asus what they changed in that BIOS to fix it. My guess was they changed something to do with the power management or voltage on the pcie lanes, since it seemed to be related to ACPI but only on windows. If doing an sfc /scannow or a reinstall doesn't clear up the errors, it could be down to some sort of hardware problem. I don't really have a good answer sorry.

Thanks. I did the scannow thing and I'll have to wait and see if that fixes it, if not I'll reinstall. But I haven't recieved a single BSOD/crash since I had this laptop. These errors may have started in January or earlier. Does that mean anything?



Edit:



I found the first error. Oddly enough it started the day i did a reinstall of windows. Dec 26th. On top of that i have thousands. Literally thousands of disk errors from dec 26th and some more for a few days after. The disk errors stopped a while back and haven't recieved one since. HD tune pro shows my disk is OK. Could this be a windows thing?

You'd need to figure out if you changed any drivers or anything since the errors showed up. Again I don't really know the cause of these errors, especially since it's been a long time since I had my G51 and I never really ran windows on it very much.
