Hi everyone, Been a while since i've posted anything here but i've been having a LOT of issues with windows these past few days haha. My laptop (HP Omen 17, pretty old, running windows 10 pro) had been consistently bluescreening after post with the error "Process1 Initialization failed", heading into the windows recovery menu after a few incorrect startups. Auto repairing the disk fails, both online and offline resets fail and i can't even recover from windows media (as i want to keep my files). as a punt i tried chkdsk c: /r /x" and even though chkdsk failed at stage 4 for some reason it allows me to boot to windows (I assume after fixing enough stuff to get it running). This has happened twice now, and i can't get in until i run chkdsk. What would be the best way to make these repairs to my disk permanent/any words of wisdom as i'm a bit out of my depth on windows boot stuff. Many thanks!

Not meaning to be rude but it was plugged in before however when the laptop was initially booted it was not plugged in, the laptop was later plugged in but still did not run at full performance. when the laptop was turned off then on again being booted WHILE PLUGGED IN the performance was at full.

Indeed there is, however it did nothing

Ok guys i've fixed the problem, rather strangely i have to boot up the laptop with the power cord in to unlock the full performance. Very strange but hey it's all working properly now, cheers for the help all. now running locked 75hz

Will do in the mean time i've tried a steamvr performance test again and it's performing way worse than previous times, It seems to really fluctuate between performing well and awfully, any tips on just improving general performance or if i have a setting incorrect?

Sorry i forgot to say its a 7700HQ Full spec list is at Hp's website https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/omen-by-hp-17-w200-laptop-pc/13823501/document/c05368578

I have run steamvr performance test and came out with a fairly high up VR ready, I also ran unigene superposition on high 1080p and came out with average of 140-150 fps. Ah didnt realise it would link to gmail oops haha All of those options you've listed i have checked apart from power option, Is it ok to leave it on balanced or will performance mode really help ? Cheers guys

Hi there guys, Good to be back on the forums! Just purchased a new laptop with specs as listed here Of course i wanted to see what it was capable of so i bought forza horizon 4 but as of now i'm very surprised as to my results. On 1080p Ultra I'm only getting about 32fps which compared to others with a simmilar system is super low All benchmark results are in the spoiler below, Please help ?

Please... Just don't.... As Christophe said that money is probably coming from ebay so they still win, No matter how cheap they are if more people than you buy them then it makes it profitable for them which we dont want... Save your money up and get a proper card

Misread this topic as Chinese STD's Nice results tho !!!

You sir are a fucking saint !, Clock speed back at 3.3 now whew If i could buy you a beer i would !

Thanks ill try removing the battery as the resetting to default settings in the bios didnt actually work Thanks for the tip and wish me luck !

On Cpu-z The core speed keeps swapping between 1.5 and 4.4 Ghz even when idling, Temperature is roughly 45 degrees across all cores

Thanks airdeano, task manager is telling me my base clock is now 4.14 Ghz Im not worried about the throttling but i just want to go back to stock speeds, I've set the bios options back to factory defaults and it says no overclock is applied. I'm using an asrock z75 pro3. I think im going to try updating the bios and seeing how that goes

But it shouldn't be going to 4.4ghz as the boost clock for my CPU is 3.7 ghz ? ?

Update: My pc is now running at a base clock of 4.23GHz and thermal throttles when under load down to 3.3 what in the fucking world ?

Hi all, Previously i've been overclocking my i5 2500k and it has been doing pretty well but wouldnt overclock to over stock speeds because of old bios problems. I put it all back to the default settings and now its going to 4.5ghz when i boot up my pc and during stress tests goes from 3.5 to about 4.5 alternating which im assuming is thermal throttling. Whats going on i just want to go back to stock settings ?

I'd say get the 1070 it should stand up to the test of time pretty well

I dont have a displayport monitor sadly

Sorry christ typo R9 380

Im not sure how things work for india but maybe if you got some on amazon and tried them then you can return them straight after if you dont like them ? its a shame audiotechnica doesnt have any stores to try them out at

Yeah absolutely I can find out where enemies are above below and around me and its really clear and surprisingly precise

I play PUBG, CSGO, TF2, Fortnite and mirrors edge. Also OSU I used to do music tech in college which i used these headphones for mixing audio for 2 years and they held up really well Also use them when travelling and obviously when im at home as well
