Its an Asus laptop (thin and light)(X510UNR) with 8th gen intel i7-8550u and an MX150 graphics. It used to give me good enough performance and I was happy with it (CS:GO ~ 100 fps low quality, l4d2 ~ 90 fps high quality). After a good 2 years where I stopped gaming and got back into it recently, any 3D game just does not run smooth. Lots of stutter, frame time lag, 60+ avg fps but unplayable from hitches. Snooping around on Hwinfo I see that the cpu takes in only 8 watts (P1 power limit) and never goes to the 45 w (P2 power limit). P1 and P2 are supposed to be short term and long term power usage. Another thing, I had always seen that the the cpu core would thermal throttle (expected of a laptop) but recently the cpu throttle because of 'power limitation'. This was definitely a new behavior. Core temperature also does not seem to go above 80 C. (not as I remember) Its confusing trying to pinpoint the problem as my laptop still reaches its boost clock (3.5ghz) games still give me 60+ fps (w/ stuttering) The only thing changed about my system was a ram upgrade and an windows 11 update.

I have an Asus laptop (thin and light)(X510UNR) with 8th gen intel and an MX150 graphics. It has a single 8gb memory stick. Both task manager and CPUID/CPU-z detect 4 ram slots with only one populated. I have previously opened the back panel before for cleaning but i can see only 2 ram slots. How likely is it that, the other 2 ram slots are on the flip-side of motherboard or is this some glitch. How can I check for sure without having to fully take apart my laptop? (Taskmanager says slots used 1 of 4) (CPU-Z shows 4 slots to select from)

This one won't fit in my laptop because i have a dedicated gpu inside, and this one u linked here only has a heatsink for a cpu.

I was trying to clean my laptop fan and replace the thermal compound just because i had some extra left. After removing all the screws holding the heat sink down, I pulled the whole thing off using the heat pipe and that's when it bent a little. I put it back thinking it was not a big deal but since doing so the overall performance of my laptop has been bad and the air coming out of the vents is cool(even under heavy load). I tried finding a replacement but none seemed to match with my laptop. Even looked at official asus replacement parts, chinese sellers. If someone knows a place where i could find the replacement that would help me a lot. My laptop : Asus vivobook S15 Model : S150UN-EH76 Processor : i7-8550U GPU : MX150 2GB Memory : 8GB

i own a Dell Vostro 3568 laptop and use preinstalled windows 10 on it along with a live usb for kali sometimes. i have never experienced this problem But yesterday suddenly when i booted the device up it locked me out showing the Bitlocker (blue screen) and asking for the bitlocker recovery key i checked my microsoft account and i do not have any such key What can i do to bypass the bitlocker page. If at all i have to reinstall windows , can i retrieve my data Please help me.

on kind of the same note. I was thinking of adding ram to my laptop. I have one slot free and the ram i have is 8-gb DDR4-2400MHz. Do i have to put in a ram with same speed or can i put in a faster one.

Banned for pointing out the obvious.

Considering what u said, i turned down the refresh rate to 72hz and was able to keep it 8-bit. Thanks

When I overclocked my laptop screen to 90hz the colors started to look weird. Mostly the blues would look old comic book print. When i looked at my display setting, it showed that the Bit Depth for Display 1 was 6-bit instead of 8-bit on normal setting. How do i change the bit depth to 8bit while keeping my 90hz refresh rate?

How do I do this?

Hey I'm trying to reset an old laptop (windows 10) b/c i'm giving it away. When i go into settings > recovery > Reset this PC. I click Get Started and choose Remove Everything. All online guides pretty much say the next thing to do is just confirm, but I got this message : And that's where i got stuck. and now over u guys at LTT forum The laptop was originally in windows 8 and I installed windows 10 later with a product key. I think that this might have something to do with the message. I have transferred/copied all the important stuff so it doesn't matter if I loose any data.

I was looking around for a gaming mouse and I found good deals on amazon for them but they were from brands I never heard of. Should I consider buying these or not. PICTEK 1 PICTEK 2 HAVIT Or If you can recommend something for less than $20 ill be happy.

Yeah. I never opened this laptop and did no modifications. I guess ill just live with it. Thx btw

I place my laptop on top of 4 coasters when I am gaming. I thought maybe it would improve cooling. Should i not do that?

The weirdest thing is happening with my laptop. I was cleaning the vents in my laptop when I realized that there was some dust built up on the SD card reader(mostly through the SD card reader. Not so much through the other ports.). On closer inspection I figured out that the fan was pulling air through the ports. The dust built up was leaning towards the inside. The only reason i can think of is that the air input vent is not letting in enough air and additional air is pulled in through the ports. My question is Is this a problem How can I fix this Is this even possible ?
