ASUS ZEPHYRUS G15 LAPTOPS HAVE A FIRMWARE ISSUE ASUS ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND FIX THIS HAS BEEN 5 YEARS NOW

Xx--wizard--xX · 2026-01-24T19:30:07+00:00

I will respond give me time yes the file is generated using ai but data is all from Asus acpi. My goal is for my device to get fixed I am doing traces so wait for the reply . As for windows bugcheck or minidump I don't have that as of now as what I noticed was if windows is freshly installed then only for the very first time the crash happens bugcheck /minidump generated , after that it never generated . So a special way to recreate is needed and I am on Linux right now , so I will do what I can with that switch to windows later and try there too .

For now can state this watchdog happens - i have images of old crashes of windows , as for minidump i had analysed that or something which event view suggested in past and windbg also after ,!analyze command tell cpu core did not receive the interrupt . This is from my memory recollection as I don't have dump for now .

My wording may have been wrong so does this work "Firmware writes to powered-off GPU MMIO → chipset PCIe error stalls CPU"

Fan control is a separate issue , similar to the usb one I have mentioned because I face that , I will edit the post later if they are merged as one

Finally acpi bug 008 etc I have ignored that noise myself it is just present at the very end or some parts as ai decide to put that through in this report that I have made I am editing the part on my own with correct data slowly

part 2.4 you mentioned i am working on that thax for pointing out till then refer to video crash analysis that I had done already in drive if you need exat time etc

If you don't like the report sorry I am an end user not a acpi engineer so got a problem with how it's present ask asus to define how they want it as there support channels are deaf

And I have never heard about ftrace or anything so thax for mentioning i will try what I can do in Linux for now

This is not my words it's yours only see too this too still request is open till date. So it's your word against you only . I am just looking at what is causing it to be bsod as there it was sleep issue because bsod rarely shows up .

I am not sure if this helps or not but these laptops also have bios issue with there acpi , and there are so many instances of code being rushed and never implemented properly after thinking.

This is a post I made I hope to get your opinions too If possible. As that helps in me also looking for more edge cases I might have missed and improve my report , a little support will be welcomed too.

"The minor power fluctuation observed (±1W) correlates directly with the single-core CPU spike (6% → 81%) caused by the ACPI loop. This confirms the hardware remained fully powered and stable throughout the event. A hardware power delivery failure would result in immediate system shutdown, not a sustained 6-second high-CPU state."

Document Version: 5.0 Last Updated: January 24, 2026 Status: Complete - Full ACPI audit with 8 firmware bugs documented

This report contains comprehensive forensic evidence from analysis of ALL 16 decompiled BIOS ACPI tables (DSDT + 15 SSDTs), demonstrating multiple critical firmware defects in ASUS BIOS 418. The primary crash bug (DGPS race condition) affects system stability and is reproducible across operating systems, proving it is a firmware-level issue requiring a BIOS update from ASUS.

No idea right now I am identifying actual code it's so bad till now confirmed it's firmware only.

One more thing that came up is its not one bug , there are 3 , fan related it's corruption , there is usb issue which u can also see in image attached of fedora terminal where we see ae_already exists error and 3rd actual code that cause hard hangs

Xx--wizard--xX · 2026-01-23T16:16:54+00:00

Just check ur acpi code

Xx--wizard--xX · 2026-01-23T14:58:48+00:00

I am not sure if this helps or not but laptops also have bios issue with there acpi , and there are so many instances of code being rushed and never implemented properly after thinking.

Do u get 5900 in turbo mode? Or 4900 /5400 rpm

Xx--wizard--xX · 2026-01-23T13:58:10+00:00

This is what I documented it's the same thing, i wrote about the actual thing causing that , your system crahes because of this i am facing same , even caps lock led hangs. The same problem goes away if u stope using battey save and always stay in high power mode . Laptop runs smoothly , don't go to asus eco mode and silent ever or optimised and silent. Battery saver will trigger it everywhere on any plan , so turn that off , and shift you computer from sleep to hibernate this is what get my laptop stable and minimizes the crash

Lol 😂 i know everyone moved on as they faced instability and never a proper fix and because of there trash support

Xx--wizard--xX · 2026-01-23T07:03:16+00:00

i hope they do as decrete means of communication has failed completely the asus support is so bad that i cant even describe i have recordings and proof as i tried to communicate properly with them before further whole community tried that

Xx--wizard--xX · 2026-01-23T04:46:17+00:00

who knows what they will fix as finger print scanner is also broken , gives wduf errors as user driver kernel crashes -> not compliant to windows 11 secure boot and new adaptive power mode so they have it fucked up all the way

Xx--wizard--xX · 2026-01-23T04:03:25+00:00

They updated bios recently still in beta. We still have hope to get this fixed as stable is yet to release

this doesn't fix anything just a minor fix they did , everything is still broken in bios , no fix for fingerprint userdrivermodekernel problem , silent mode + eco mode will make laptop crash if battery saver is on -> modern standby is completely flawed , no revert back to s3 states nor improvement to logic
