    I have a skylake i5-6200u in my hp laptop system. I've heard pretty cool stuff about undervolting and how it gives your laptop/pc just that small amount of less heat and better battery. Thing is, XTU showed me that watchdog on my laptop is not enabled. How do I enable it? Is it in my BIOS? Or is there no way to do it? I would've undervolted by -0.050 V which should be safe...but I wanna be sure.

    lmao....I'll use that as a last resort

    I suppose everyone's suggesting to drill into it haha. It may be too small for the allen key, but I'll give it a try nonetheless
  4. CaribbeanKoolKiddo
    It's very wide but extremely thin...I could drill a hole on my laptop and I don't really want that. But I think the left hand drill in reverse is the only hope that I have.

    I've been trying to upgrade my RAM on HP Star Wars Special Edition laptop since last week ( in fact, I already had a topic on that in the forums) however, while I was trying to do that and I was taking out the screws...the screw that is under the optic drive bay was tighter than usual, even though I was able to unscrew the one that was close to it, though it was also a bit tight. I tried all sort of manner to unscrew the screw, but then it ended up being stripped....the problem is, it's a very flat and small screw, so most stripped screw removal techniques won't work! I'm attaching a pic of the screw so you guys can see where it's located, and there's a 1.5mm Allen Key (yes, I tried it and can't even fit in the whole...it's too big) Guys, any tips and advice? How do I remove this screw? It's really screwing with my progress!

    Update: Bought the RAM. Going to attempt to install it...wish me luck. May Linus watch over me and guide me..

    That makes sense. Thanks dude!

    Even if they came from the manufacturer in that way? I guess I shall see.

    Getting it open is what I don't like, but alright. I'll see about them. Btw how can you tell which is Slot 1 and Slot 2 of the RAM? I Slot 1 has the 4GB and Slot 2 has the 2GB. How can I tell?
  10. CaribbeanKoolKiddo
    Yeah I'm going to do that. I would've done the SSD upgrade first but...I personally think that it's more complicated than to just swap the RAM stick lol. But even installing RAM is hell to do on my laptop and because I've never done it before, I'm letting a technician do it for me...just in case. If you wanna know what I'm talking about:

    Hey, guys! I'm just about to purchase some RAM for my laptop. I do content creation and I've become extremely frustrated with my laptop telling me that I'm low on memory, have no RAM to run a program, or just upright crashing on me when I apparently have the audacity to run anything with a Premeire Pro on. I currently have 6GB of total DDR3L RAM, with a 4GB on slot 1 and 2GB on slot 2 in the laptop. It came with these, but I gotta upgrade...today. BUT WAIT! I've been told that ram in dual channel works a lot better when the 2 RAM sticks have the same speed and memory size. So now, I really wanna know: is it better to have two 4GB memory sticks operate at dual channel than it is to have an 8GB and a 4GB ram for a total of 12GB? I know this is a silly question, and I think I already know the answer, but I just want to hear it from you guys just to confirm. Thanks! P.S My 5400rpm HDD is also F-#$i&NG! slow too but it'll upgrade very soon too. Everything else on my laptop isn't a bottleneck.

    I've uninstalled Avira and have stock Defender running because it was eating a lot of the RAM that I didn't have. On idle the disk is....ok I guess? If I've experienced having an SSD in a laptop/desktop, my comparison would be more credible. As for now it's running apps and games as it should...as best as what a 5400 rpm HDD can do.
  13. CaribbeanKoolKiddo
    oh the CPU is more than fine. it's an i5-6200U. I've never seen it spiked since I have this laptop. The Disk space is almost always +70% tho
  14. CaribbeanKoolKiddo
    The laptop was slower than usual, but I realized that it was a msconfig setting that needed to change. I've got my 6GB ram back and now it works ok
  15. CaribbeanKoolKiddo
    Omg I got it back....thanks a ton bro!!
