Eddie's Tech Notes

Follow the instruction here in general. Then download the following drivers from the ASUS support page . For the Nvidia graphics card to work, install the V9.18.13.1193 version of the Nvidia driver under Windows 8, VGA. You may need a few reboot to finally get the driver working. For Direct X to be fully functional, follow the instruction here to install missing .dlls. For Xbox 360 controller: Use the Windows 7 driver available here . Indeed I can't get the controller in any steam games however. I use xb360ce as a workaround. For the radio control driver, use ATK4001 . Bluetooth is not supported on Windows server 2012.

1) It cannot be shut down properly - the screen is OFF but the power stays ON for a long time after issuing a shutdown in windows. Solution: Update the Bluetooth driver. Version V8.0.1.305 available at here works for me. Reference 2) Cannot do system restore using the recovery partition in the hard drive, using the F9 on boot method. Has to rely on clonezilla to generate a disk clone. The USB recovery disk apporach doesn't seem to work. Reference
