Anyone have an issue with the computer freezing frequently (sometimes blue screen of death) requiring a reboot (long press power button.)

No I have never had that issue. Occasionally the computer has gone to sleep and not woken up. Have not had this issue since I received the windows 8 update.

My son has the computer and he has no problem with it freezing to blue screen of death

AT least I have no such issues with ASUS CM-1745 US006S desktop pc. Subhash C Reddy

It sounds like you have device driver problem. Make sure all installed device drivers are Windows 8 compatible.

Mine has only frozen once, but there was no Blue Screen of Death. Probable cause: server issues. Game froze, mouse clicks wouldn't work anywhere. Couldn't close the game or switch tabs. Side menu wouldn't slide out, Windows icon unresponsive. I saw it as "one of those things," and it hasn't happened since. Check everything you've downloaded. Maybe uninstall everything except what it came with, check security software, essentially start over. Call ASUS? Hope you solve the problem.

Hi Rami. Computer works just fine. The windows 8 interface really upsets my wife who is not so computer literate and can't seem to navigate her way around the system but it boots up very quickly and no freeze issues so far. My last computer with windows 7 had the blue screen of death and it was frustrating. Best of luck!

Yes , it does give problem sometimes. I have to restart or shut down for it to function normally!

Haven't had that issue. I suppose it's possible, but unlikely, since the power button has to be depressed for a period of time. The power button is relatively well protected.

Press and hold the power button for at least 3 seconds. That usually works.

Sometimes I have to hold the power button down for a very long time before it turns on, so I usually just let it go to sleep rather than powering all the way down to avoid the issue.

Mine constantly reboots and Amazon wanted me to pay for the shipping & handling to send it back. I say it's junk...

I have not had a problem, I love this computer and I so far like windows 8 but it takes time and patience

Glad I'm not the only one has this issue. Hopefully ASUS quickly comes up with a update.

Im not sure.... I would say that my computer sometimes freezes even though it is less than 2 months old so I think playing games might have some issues.

Press the power button, and keep it pressed for twenty seconds. Repeat the procedure two or three times, and it will come back to life.. It always work..

It should be 'ok' to try. If you start getting random 'freezes' or the system just randomly 'reboots' on its own, that tells you the power supply is probably old and needs to be replaced.

I occasionally get a blank, blue screen, but for me, tapping anywhere on the screen refreshes it. I haven't had to reboot.

I'm using it with Windows 7. I've noticed that every time I shutdown I bluescreen. So, just don't reboot :)

I've had this computer for about 3 months and haven't had this problem (or any problem for that matter)... What have you downloaded recently? Maybe a program or something you downloaded caused this.Worst case scenario, used "system restore" to reset the computer back to a certain time when the problem didn't exist

I've had a mixture of strange issues with mine which is the N56VM-AB71 ... Random freezing etc. but I installed an SSD and I'm hoping that's the issue. I am fairly sure I can't get it fixed under warranty having removed the hard drive.

If you press the power button and no vibration is felt nor does the green light show up when it is and is not connected to the power adapter it may be froze up. Try pressing the power button and the volume button for about 15 seconds while it is connected to the power adapter and then again after disconnecting the power adapter. If you there is no vibration or light you will have to send it in for repair. Go on the Asus.com website and do a live chat with a rep. Explain what you have done and the result. They will have to issue you an RMA to return if for repairs. They will not accept it if you do not have it well packed and have an RMA. Good luck.

I actually have the same issue. I have to power cycle it twice a month at least. I had a previous model (not the AC model) that worked for over a year without a power cycle. I was thinking of making use of the ability to schedule a reboot weekly...but I don't think it should be happening this often.
