  1. Hello DreamCat04, Thanks for taking the time. The 'override' was already done prior to taking the screenshots. The NVIDIA tray monitoring shows that the game is running on the dedicated (3050Ti) card. I did the same thing as mentioned in your reply. What puzzles me more is that ASUS Support just responded after 24hrs that this is not normal and that they suggest I reset my PC. Thing is, I have already installed a lot of apps that cannot be restored if I do it. I'll try to see what I can do and update accordingly. Thanks again.
  2. Hey Everyone, A couple of questions right off the bat: My GPU 0 is set to be the 'dedicated' GPU (3050ti), is that normal? Whenever I set programs, such as games, to run on the GPU, the usage shows 0%. I have already set programs to run on the dedicated GPU, but usage still shows to be 0%. Why is that? Game Running, GPU 0% Usage Game running, NVIDIA Icon Tray I contacted ASUS Support to see their findings, however, they just told me to do a BIOS RESET and SYSTEM RESET. They did not explain (reply pending) what really happened and whether it was normal. Model: M7400QE Asus VIVOBOOK Pro 14X (3050ti vers) Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
  3. Hi, I have AOC E970sw monitors for office use and would like them to be mounted on the wall. Based on the user-manual and the website's info, this monitor is capable of it. However, upon checking the back panel, I found out that the supposedly screw-holes are blocked. At first, I thought these were rubber blocks but apparently are not. Tried searching for answers but couldn't find any on the internet. All of them just say that this monitor is capable for wall-mounting. Is there anyone out here who can help me? Thank you. Pic added.
  4. Good read, thanks. I've tried three programs to see the temp, idle/ loaded. All three can't even reach the ambient/ room temperature and yea upon touching it's not really hot. So I would like to know more why I still get unwanted shutdowns.. What could possibly be causing all this, Sir?
  5. Yeah, probably. I also tried to tap the heatsink fan and surprisingly, it's not really hot. I'm just wondering why it still surprises me with unwanted shutdown though.
  6. I have an A4-5300 CPU, which is pretty old yeah. I applied new thermal compound and changed its PSU to a new one. However, I left a few mins ago with this PC on while view a live gameplay from Dota 2. I did this just to test whether or not I will still experience unwanted shutdowns. Sadly, when I came back the PC was turned off so I was thinking there's probably still a problem. Upon checking the CPU temperature, I'm REMARKABLY alarmed and awed with the idle temperature that boils down to as low as 8 °C. I attached a screenshot of the desktop with the running game of DotA 2 but why am I getting 22 °C max temp? My ambient temperature sure is not that low. I'm from the Philippines and I don't even have an AC here in my room. CURRENTLY, the motherboard is not inside the case, it's just on top of my table with no other fans on it except the heat-sink fan. Is my CPU dying? @Kierax Sir, it's me again. I hope you can help me.. This is a spare unit of mine, just want to know what really is happening.
  7. Thanks, Sir. Now I'm elightened and am using the 1366 x 768 reso on my desktop. For my games, I set them to 1280 x 720p specifically to avoid blurred text.
  8. Thanks for responding quickly, Sir. I tried the 1920x1080 display but I get a blurry display which makes it uncomfortable to use. SyncMaster SA100, this Samsung Monitor has a fixed 1366 x 768 HD (not full HD) monitor on a VGA display. I'm just wondering why I don't see any recommended SCREEN resolution as well.
  9. @Kierax Hi, Sir. Sorry to bother you.. maybe you can help shed light with this? Thanks
  10. Hi, I'm seeking further knowledge with regards to screen resolutions particularly the so-called NATIVE resolution. I have a GTX 750ti graphics card which requires me to use DVI or a mini-HDMI cable (NO VGA OUTPUT). The monitor I'm using is Samsung SyncMaster SA100 1366 x 768 HD with VGA capability ==> this made me use an adapter, a VGA->DVI adapter for my monitor & vcard to work together. Now, upon checking my NATIVE RESOLUTION, I found out that I only have 1024 x 768 (as seen in the picture). Undeniably, on my part, when I set it to the native one I felt better looking at the display of my monitor as seen in the picture 1024.jpg (the 2nd pic). The 3rd picture (1366.jpg) is a reference to compare both displays. Pls enlighten me, is this normal for me to have such low NATIVE resolution? Also, I want to know WHAT WOULD BE THE PERFECT ASPECT RATIO when I play games specifically dota 2. 4:3 16:9 or 16:10 with my current potato setup. Thank you so much in advance, I'll be waiting for your generous response.
  11. Thanks, guys. Now I'm having some issues with my native resolution. Will create a new thread regarding this. Strange native reso
  12. Okay, Sir. I'm looking on how to mark this one as solved. Meanwhile, I posted another concern here's the link
