Does the issue still exist ? If yes, try using a Knoppix Live CD. All you need to do is insert the CD and restart the laptop (presume you have boot from CD option enabled). If it works fine, something is wrong with your Windows 7 disc and you may need to get a spare one and check. Since you already tried a workout using driver CD, that may not be the case.

What I have not been able to do -is instal the driver CD first .
It contains "Instal" .exe Application file ( when I inser the CD in my other Acer laptop, it asks whether to run and instal,I just saw the contents and did not instal in my old laptop)
when I insert driver cd first,it runs off to DOS (C:/) even after entering BIOS by hitting Escape and choosing the dVD rom. having failed to instal the driver cd first
Then when I insert win 7 and choose dvd rom-prompts -hit any key and starts installing. After 20% installation asks for the driver and when insert the dvd rom says did not find relevant. obviously boot.exe from the driver cd not installed !
The win 7 ultimate I have did not give any problem before. I have called for help as a last resort.waiting.
Asus webite has all the drivers for X53U series (both 32 and 64 bit win7)

@ cool techie,

Do they provide drivers for free ? If no, can you please suggest a good provider / method to get free drivers for Windows XP/7. Thanks.

Of course, it is free. You have install a plug-in which will enable the website to analyze the existing hardware of your PC. Once the analysis is completed, it will list the official links to the updated drivers.

A small word of caution. Install the drivers that are relevant to the hardware on your PC. For instance, when I do the scan using the same website, it lists two drivers for the bluetooth module of my laptop. Since I know that the module is based on broadcom, I install the broadcom drivers. I do not know whether it is an isolated case of mine ..

Thanks, will try. Rep +

Thanks for posting various solutions guys.

I have to call the Doctor as I could not handle it.
There were two issues.
1.it was asking for a CD rom driver even though it is installing thro the DVD rom.
2.The win7 ultimate CD I was using was corrupt.
The gentleman who had handled the case last time took few hours to circumvent the "can not proceed,driver needed issue" and finally on using another Win 7 CD only could solve the issue.
To make his time worth the exercise ,I also fitted this baby with 64 bit Office 2010!

Inserted my Huawei e1750 7.2 mbps card .software got Installed and connected to internet in no time.



The only browser to start with -Internet explorer- Upgraded from 8 to 9 I think. Then downloaded chrome and chrome is the browser now.
Downloaded java update too.
For a dual core 1.0 GHz proccy+ radeon HD6250 built in card /2 gb ram,320 gb hd- lappy feels good in win7 64 bit sp1 +office 64 bit 2010 .

Congrats. Told you this is a Windows 7 DVD issue

meetdilip Thanks
when I post the same JPG image from Tinypic in other site ,picture is small size and in IBF ,it comes in full size! check your settings.
In a few min I will post the image link in photobucket where I have a/c.
so bear with me with this monster image.
Tinypic is fast as I dont sign in.

You can use free image compressing tools and post even big images at a small size. Or simply give links without forum code. Awaiting pics

I felt some drivers not properly installed.(graphics)
Inserted the driver cd by ASUS and went component by component and did driver update from the cd. Few were not installed properly and now got properly installed. After installing a 2 GB Ram stick ,it will improve further.
Processor is the weakest in score.Now the price is Rs 1800 more than I paid!

I think it is a good buy for that price. Don't know whether RAM has any effect on driver installation.

RAM:2gb DDR3 @ 532MHz

it should not be correct.

No. I am not running paid services.

You have a blog ? Link please

my mistake!i thought piriform speccy was showing MT/s but it is showing the correct I/O clock rate which is 533MHz for DDR3-1066 ram.

whitestar
OK! Thanks. For a minute I thought they sold me with condemned ram's @ discount!! Now my bP is back to normal.

One slot is free ..so 1 stick 2GB Ram @1066 mhz will be fine .. I think.
Normally shops sell open ram sticks. shall I go for a branded one (shrink wrapped)-Transcend like that?

1 stick 2GB Ram @1066 mhz

this is technically wrong.this 1066 is MT/s not the I/O clock rate(533MHz).

always go for a branded RAM with a bill.kingston 2gb ddr3 1333 laptop ram is 700 in nehru place,delhi(i am using one myself in atom desktop).last time i went there in aug i couldn't find laptop ddr3-1066 ram.

Heat is the primary enemy of laptops. Ensure that the laptop is operated in a ventilated environment with no objects obstructing the vents.

Yep, also do not use the laptop on soft surface like bed, pillow etc. The vent holes in the lower part gets covered and laptop heats up. Even if you use on soft surface, make sure that the vent holes are not covered.
