No idea, you have a high end gaming notebook there, no reason it shouldn't work. If Second Life is crashing or messing up it's probably the program that's the problem.
Check with Linden Labs, see if there's any known problems with Second Life similar to what you're experiencing.
In the meantime I'd go to
http://www.nvidia.com and download the latest drivers for your video card and ASUS.com to find audio and chipset drivers for your system.
If all your drivers are up to date then I suggest....
....well, not playing Second Life. It's a really stupid game, and I don't care how much you try to sugar coat it, that whole "game" if you can call it that is just one failed experiment after another.
Watch out for the Yiffers.
