Hi, I'm not really sure what to do after countless of researching how to "reformat" or use "system restore recovery"
I have an Asus g53-jw laptop owned it since Feb2011. It was great for the first few weeks with no problems like loud fans/heat/fps drops etc. I got lazy and endured it for 2 years. Now I'm just sick of the slowness and I need help. Most likely the problems are hidden viruses/drivers/windows updates(especially). I remember one day i had to update a bunch of windows crap and suddenly my gpu temp goes from 30* to 80*.
I mainly play games and watch streams of Twitch.
Even watching videos or surfing the internet my fan goes buckwild and keyboard goes hot.
I got windows 7 pre-installed, didnt come with the installation disc. No recovery discs as well. Went to best buy 2 days ago and approach to a geek squad agent and he said its better to do the recovery disk way instead of reinstalling windows 7...+ i dont even have a windows 7 disc anyway.
My questions and wants(my little knowledge from my research):
1.How do i "reformat" to the factory settings as in exactly how I first purchased the laptop and turned it on for the very first time?
2.Do i need to back up any data that is necessary to do this procedure like Windows 7 files?(i literally don't want any files like games/drivers/music/etc cause i have time to download/install again right? like i said i want it to be a new experience again from the start)
3. "Recovery disk" is the exact same thing as "System Repair Disc"? I've actually done this part on a blank DVD and I got some boot files onto it about 178mb of stuff. I dont know the meaning of this Recovery Disk (System Repair disc)
4. I dont know the next step after 3. Is there any other steps I need to do?
Thank you for reading.
