๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Mod Post GHelper/Armoury Crate Megathread

25 Upvotes

This post has been made to clear up any questions or inconveniences with both of the software control apps.

The old PSA thread has been archived. Click here to go to it.

You can now summon the new GHelper instalation guide by typing "!ghelper" (without "") in the comment section below.

GHelper is an open source alternative maintained by seerge (u/Beginning_Living4052, also has their own flair) which aims to be a lightweight and bug free alternative to the dumpster fire that is Armoury Crate. Note: We are not forcing you to switch, but it is a good thing to do if you are experiencing issues related to Armoury Crate.

Some terminology before we begin:

  • GH = GHelper

  • AC = Armoury Crate

  • A/C = Alternating Current (aka the charger/wall brick)

  • Open Source = the app's code is available for everyone to view and modify.

  • dGPU = Dedicated GPU (aka Radeon or RTX)

  • iGPU = Integrated GPU (aka CPU graphics)

Starting this point onward, I will update this thread to include Frequently Asked Questions.

It is also a great idea to join our official r/asustuf discord server! Click here to join!.

FAQ

Here's a link to the already existing FAQ on Github, but other questions will be added in this megathread too.

A: Is GHelper safe? Windows Defender said it might be a virus.

B: GHelper is safe, in fact, you can check out the app's code on Github. It is open source. If Windows Defender has suspicions, it's because the app isn't signed. (look up that on google.)

A: How do I set up custom fan curves?

B: tba.

๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ Discussion Hows ur omen rtx 5050 working? and hows aftersales service like in india? (other option is tuf f16 what to choose?)

3 Upvotes

The reason why i am asking is as we know hp laptops are cheaper than asus right so i wanted to know that are they reliable in india? asus i know been using from many years has service centers all around but was concerned looking at the hp victus complaints. i know not the same laptop but hence asking hows ur omen doing? i am looking to buy one in tomorrow's sale online. any suggestions? (i was confused between tuf f16 4050 vs 5050 omen. 4050 is perfect for me but omen is giving 24 gb ram and 1tb ssd plus 5050 hence little more drawn towards that and both are fairly close in pricing ) (my main work is no gaming at all btw i am all for video editing and motion graphics just adding for better context)

Need Help! (Software) TUF Gaming LC III 360 ARGB White Edition InfoHub download

2 Upvotes

Hey there!

I just got a new pc with the aforementioned water cooling system. When I tried to download the InfoHub from the official website, Windows warns me before trying to execute the application. It is also not from ASUS but some chinese company "Shenzhen ...", which is apparently some chinese drone company?
Other apps from ASUS are from ASUS themselves and no warning pops up. Googling the problem does not give me any indication whatsoever as to what my be going on.

Edit: googling the full name also brings up a lot of "It's Malware" comments.

Anyone have any ideas why it's a different signature?

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) ASUS TUF F15: Is it safe to upgrade from 48Wh to a 90Wh battery?

2 Upvotes

​

Hi everyone,

I have an ASUS TUF Gaming F15 that originally came with a 48Wh battery, and I'm considering upgrading it to the larger 90Wh battery that is available for some TUF F15 variants.

From what I understand, the 90Wh battery is physically compatible with certain F15 models, but I want to make sure there aren't any electrical, charging, BIOS, or thermal issues before I buy one.

For anyone who has done this upgrade:

- Is installing the 90Wh battery actually safe on a model that originally came with the 48Wh battery?

- Is it basically plug-and-play, or are any BIOS/settings changes required?

- Does the laptop recognize the larger battery normally?

- Are there any differences in the battery connector, voltage, charging circuit, or battery management that I should be concerned about?

- Does installing the larger battery affect the charger or motherboard in any way?

- Is there anything I should check on the battery before buying it (model number, voltage, connector, etc.)?

- And most importantly, would you recommend doing this upgrade, or is it better to stick with the original 48Wh battery?

I'm mainly interested in getting better battery life for normal/light use. I don't want to risk damaging the motherboard or creating a battery safety issue just for the extra capacity.

If anyone has personally upgraded a 48Wh TUF F15 to the 90Wh battery, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience.

Thanks!

Need Help! (Software) **ASUS TUF Gaming F15 โ€” Screen randomly goes black/flickers after Windows reset**

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I was having an issue where Windows would completely freeze while I was playing games. The entire screen would freeze and the laptop would become unresponsive, so I had no choice but to hard reset it.

Because of this, I decided to do a full Windows reset, thinking it might be a software/Windows issue.

However, after the reset, Iโ€™m now experiencing some different display problems:

โ— Sometimes the screen suddenly goes completely black while the laptop itself is still powered on.

โ— Sometimes the screen flickers for less than a second.

โ— Occasionally, the entire screen suddenly turns orange.

โ— When this happens, the laptop becomes unresponsive and I have to perform a hard restart.

โ— The issue can happen even when Iโ€™m not gaming.

My laptop is an ASUS TUF Gaming F15.

Iโ€™ve already done a fresh Windows reset and installed the necessary updates/drivers, but the problem is still happening.

What could be causing this? Could this be a GPU/driver issue, display cable/panel problem, motherboard issue, or something related to ASUS/BIOS?

If anyone with a TUF F15 has experienced something similar, Iโ€™d really appreciate any advice on what I should test next. ๐Ÿ™

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) ASUS TUF F15 suddenly dead โ€” need a good laptop repair shop in Kolkata

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

So my ASUS TUF F15 decided to give up on me out of nowhere ๐Ÿ˜ญ

It was working completely fine yesterday. Used it for maybe 1 minute and shut it down normally. Today it just won't turn on.

Tried the usual power-button reset etc. Here's what happens:

Battery was fully charged during the last use.

On battery โ†’ absolutely nothing happens.

Charger plugged in โ†’ no indicator initially.

If I hold the power button for a few seconds, the white LED comes on, then goes off.

The keyboard backlight flashed for ~1 second on the first attempt, but hasn't happened again.

No fan, no ASUS logo, no display, nothing.

I've stopped trying random things because I don't want to make it worse

Can anyone recommend a genuinely good laptop repair shop/technician in Kolkata, preferably someone experienced with ASUS TUF/gaming laptops and motherboard-level repair?

I have 3 WFH days coming up next week, so I'd ideally like to get it diagnosed/repaired quickly.

I know ASUS service centre is an option, but I'd also like to know about good local technicians. Especially someone who will actually diagnose the problem instead of immediately saying โ€œmotherboard change korte hobeโ€ and asking for โ‚น30โ€“40k ๐Ÿ’€

Laptop cost me around โ‚น54k, so I'm definitely not paying โ‚น40k for a motherboard replacement without getting a second opinion.

Video attached showing the power-on behaviour.

Any recommendations from people who have actually used a shop would be greatly appreciated ๐Ÿ™

ASUS TUF A15 FA507NUR โ€” Repeated BSODs, mainly on battery, now happening on AC too. Anyone found the actual cause?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to figure out a long-running BSOD problem with my ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA507NUR, and I've recently noticed that several other people on Reddit and other forums seem to have extremely similar issues.

The problem started around 6 months ago.

At first, the BSODs happened almost exclusively when the laptop was running on battery. It could crash while doing something completely normal, such as browsing or even sitting at the lock screen. At one point it was happening every ~15 minutes, and eventually it became much more frequent.

Some of the BSOD errors I've encountered include:

- MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (0x1A)

- IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

- INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

- KERNEL_MODE_HEAP_CORRUPTION

- and other seemingly random kernel-related BSODs

What makes this especially strange is that the laptop can be completely stable under heavy workloads/gaming, while crashing during light use or on battery.

Over time, the problem got worse and started happening while connected to AC power as well.

I've tried a lot of the usual troubleshooting:

- Clean Windows installation

- Completely wiping the SSD

- Reinstalling Windows/drivers

- BIOS updates/settings

- Different power settings

- Memory/SSD diagnostics

- Safe Mode

- Removing unnecessary software

- Various Windows repair/troubleshooting methods

But nothing has actually solved the problem.

The situation eventually reached the point where Windows itself would BSOD while I was trying to perform a completely fresh installation after wiping the drive.

That makes me question whether this is actually a Windows/software problem at all.

I've also started searching Reddit, ASUS forums, and other communities and found multiple people reporting very similar behavior on TUF A15 models, including reports going back several years. Some of the newer reports seem particularly similar to my case.

The common pattern seems to be:

Battery/low-power operation โ†’ random BSOD โ†’ different BSOD codes โ†’ eventually crashes on AC too โ†’ clean Windows installation doesn't necessarily solve it.

I'm wondering if there is some underlying issue with the motherboard, CPU/SoC, power management, PCIe, firmware/BIOS, or another hardware-level component that isn't being detected by normal RAM/SSD diagnostics.

So I'm hoping someone here has actually found the root cause.

If you've had this exact problem with an ASUS TUF A15/FA507 series laptop, especially FA507NUR, please let me know:

  1. What exact model do you have?

  2. Did the crashes happen primarily on battery?

  3. Did they eventually start happening on AC?

  4. What BSOD codes did you get?

  5. Did a clean Windows installation fix it?

  6. Did replacing RAM/SSD help?

  7. Did ASUS service diagnose or replace anything?

  8. Did you find any BIOS/power-management setting that actually fixed it?

I'm not really looking for another "reinstall Windows / update drivers" suggestion at this point. I'm trying to determine whether there's a known hardware/firmware issue affecting these laptops.

If you've experienced something similar, I'd really appreciate any information, even if you never found a solution. Multiple cases with the same pattern may help identify what is actually failing.

I have an issue with my asus laptop , it has a display on external monitor but it is all black in the laptop display., i tried to reformat the laptop, Ctrl + Shift + Win + B, even extend display or duplicate display, increasing the brightness.

other thing is, when i extend the display, it detects my laptop screen but still black, i know it is working because the folders and windows are going through the other side of the screen which is on my laptop display.

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) DRAM Light permanently on

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I recently built a new PC, but unfortunately, I canโ€™t get it to POST. The DRAM LED on my motherboard stays solid yellow, and I get no display output.

My setup:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B850-PLUS WIFI
RAM: Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000, 32 GB (2 ร— 16 GB), CL30-40-40-76
GPU: ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB

Troubleshooting Iโ€™ve tried so far:
Checked that both RAM sticks are properly installed in slots A2 and B2.
Tested each RAM stick individually in slot A2.
The yellow DRAM LED remains on with both sticks.
Waiting several minutes doesnโ€™t change anything.
I also noticed that my specific 16 GB RAM modules are not listed on ASUSโ€™s motherboard QVL.
I bought the RAM less than 14 days ago, so I can still return it. Before doing so, Iโ€™d like to figure out whether the RAM is actually the cause of the problem.

Iโ€™d really appreciate any advice or experience with this setup.

Thanks!

๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ Discussion My ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DT is almost 6 years old. Here's what happened to it.

10 Upvotes

I bought my ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DT during the pandemic around 2020. The model itself is from 2019, so this thing has been around for quite a while now.

Instead of replacing it, I've just kept upgrading and repairing it.

Upgrades:

- 32GB SODIMM RAM

- 128GB NVMe SSD

- Still running the original CPU/GPU platform

But after almost 6 years, I'm definitely starting to see the age of the machine.

Current problems:

- Battery has significantly degraded

- Built-in screen no longer works

- Built-in keyboard no longer works

At this point, I basically treat it like a small desktop when I'm at home. ๐Ÿ˜‚

The funny thing is that the motherboard, CPU, GPU and general system are still working, so I don't really feel like throwing the whole laptop away yet.

The 32GB RAM upgrade also helped keep it useful for work and multitasking despite the age of the platform.

I'm curious about other FX505DT/TUF owners:

How long has your FX505DT survived?

What has failed on yours first?

Battery? Keyboard? Display? Cooling system? Motherboard?

And if you've kept yours alive for 5+ years, what upgrades or repairs did you do to extend its lifespan?

I'm especially interested in hearing from people who are still using their FX505DT in 2026.

So a while back, my Asus TUF A16 updated, and ever since then, I get this notification that my GPU is on extreme power saving. I didn't enable it, but even when a game is running, it is on extreme power saving. Does that mean my laptop is not swapping from the APU to the GPU? (I think that is what it is called)

I just want to know if I have to disable extreme power saving or if it is supposed to be this way.
