Asus ROG says it is 'actively investigating' gaming laptop stuttering issues after a user apparently identified a 'cascade of firmware design failures'


The Github-hosted analysis doesn't paint a pretty picture.

The investigator explains: "[ACPI.sys] primarily functions as an interpreter for ACPI Machine Language (AML), the code provided by the laptop's firmware (BIOS). One is a high-priority interrupt that takes way too long to execute, another is the system repeatedly attempting to "power the discrete GPU on and off, even when it's supposed to be permanently active." Assuming the Redditor and Githubber here has identified the correct underlying cause, this might spell good news for some Asus ROG laptop gamers.
