Hi all, I have a Asus G50-vt from Best Buy. It originally had Vista, but my hard drive that came with it died within 1 year. So, I bought a new hard drive from New Egg, (western digital 320 gb), and went ahead and bought Windows 7 Home Premium 64 instead of going back to dead Vista.
So I installed the new hard drive and then Windows 7 and have had several issues since.
1. My on board Wifi worked at first, now it doesn't. This seemed to stop working after I installed all the drivers and everything from Asus.com for: notebook >>> G50 Series >>> G50-vt (best buy) >>> Windows 7 64 bit edition. Here's the link if you want to look at what popped up or drivers etc. http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
2. There are no sounds coming from the computer speakers, but when I plug in some earphones, I hear vague representations of the music I'm trying to listen to.
3. Sometimes I have a problem where my computer doesn't detect my DVD-ROM drive. And I notice when my notebook is posting, that my ambios says "auto detecting PCH ... not detected.
Here's a link for the system review and specs:

I have no clue why these problems exist, and I am hoping that any help to resolve these issues is greatly appreciated!
