In the end it didn't matter how many times I tried to reset windows, the hard drive and BIOS was infected and basically unrecoverable. I had an MSI laptop and the exact same thing happened, the difference was that I installed all the updates when my gut feeling was telling me not to. I believe that I was basically doing something on my laptop that they deem problematic. It wanted to install this update like 2 hours after my laptop started Current/EDP Limit Throttling all the time. There was this specific update that armoury crate wanted to install yesterday, it was called throttlegear merge module 5.1.8.0. Infact, I can easily tell you in a heart beat that most of the glitches, bugs and errors are simply being done on purpose, because most users simply can't prove it, let alone recognize it or contemplate about it and use logical reasoning. What most people believe and don't realize, is that in this day and age, glitchy software and bugs simply is not a common thing that should be happening as often as it does. I am also a computer hardware lover and have been building & tweaking my computers since I was like 9 years old. I am very well versed in computers, because I have a Computer Science degree, and know how to program. I'm talking noticeable decrease in CPU & GPU usage. And, what I noticed was a tremendous increase in the performance of my laptop and much more cooler temps. Therefore, they know that they can let armoury crate(and other 'similar' programs) function in a way that is ultimately of benefit to themselves or other parties in which they have a mutually 'beneficial' relationship, and not functioning in the best interest of the customer or owner of the laptop that paid money for it!Īfter noticing weird glitches on my gaming laptop, I decided to disable all of the Asus programs and services I could, at least the ones which were visible to me. Asus knows that the majority of people that buy their laptops are not computer literate. This software has the ability to directly monitor and control hardware components in your laptop, because it is connected to them on a deep & direct level, also it is connected to the BIOS because it has the ability to directly update/change bios settings.

Okay, so Armoury Crate is an application that is preinstalled by default on Asus laptops.
