last night when i unplug the charger, this thing shut itself down again. that is more than 4,5 times.

so i contacted asus, they suggested to do a reset first.

i am planning to do it now. i have google synced.

what kind of things will be lost after i do the reset even with the google sync?

Everything on it (apps, settings, preferences, images, music, videos)
Basically it's going to be exactly what it was like when you first bought it

Depends on what you backed up on it, pretty sure you can backup contacts, e-mail accounts and apps. So if you're signed in when you reset it will re-download the apps if you sign back in when it starts up after the reset

Anything on your device that is part of a Google account should be automatically synced with the Google cloud--that is, assuming it is set to sync. You can make sure by going to Settings/Accounts-Google/[your Google account], and making sure everything is checked. After you do the factory reset and then log back into your Google account with your device, items that have been synced with your Google account should be automatically restored.

You won't lose any contacts as long as they are synced from some cloud account (i.e., Google, Yahoo, Facebook). The main thing to be aware of is that if you're on a phone, you need to be aware of any contacts that are saved to the Phone Account. These contacts do not get synced with Google, and probably not with any other cloud account.

If you go to Settings/Backup & Restore, there's a setting for "Backup My Data"--if checked, a lot of your settings and account data will get backed up to your Google account, and restored after you do your factory reset. All of your apps from Google Play should also automatically download and install, but apps from other sources (like Amazon Appstore) will have to be reinstalled manually. Save game progress may or may not be restored--I think it depends on the game.

Photos and videos that you saved locally will not necessarily be restored unless they were automatically backed up to Google+, so make sure you save them somewhere first.
