Hey guys,
So I've recently got to borrow my friend his previous laptop and use it until I can afford a gaming PC of my own.
But after using it for a while and adding the 860 EVO I got during Black Friday the laptop started to act very weird when gaming, and as I have no clue what to do and can barely find anything online I thought to myself I should turn to the LinusTechTips Community.
So the problem I'm having is that the laptop starts to make the USB connect/ disconnect sounds, keeps giving a black screen which disappears immediately after ((seems like the PC is alt-tabbing) it now sometimes even gives me a black screen which stays and forces me to alt-tab a few times to get to the game again) and it keeps centring the cursor. The problem doesn't instantly appear when I start gaming but starts to come forward after a little while of gaming, and then it stops a few minutes after I quit gaming. This is what lead me to believe it had something to do with the GPU as it doesn't happen during a graphically light loads. There seems to be no specific performance range it can't reach as these problems even occur when playing games as Slay the Spire.
- NVIDIA GTX 760M
- Intel i7 4702MQ @2.20 GHz
- 12 GB ram, different sticks but don't know which
- Windows 10
- No longer has a battery as it broke and had a battery-life of 30 mins max. (I'm pretty much using it as a more portable desktop, with separate mouse and keyboard)
I've gotten a few tips from people and even got suggested that the GPU is failing, but this doesn't seem to be the case, as these problems still occur when setting the NVIDIA Control Panel 3D settings to Integrated only. I'm literally clueless by now, any help would really be appreciated as this just annoys the F out of me. (Sorry Mods if I can't say F) ?
If I've forgotten to specify anything or I should give more info, please leave a comment as I have no clue what to do and this problem makes my whole game library useless
Thx for the help in advance
(Note, I know this is a repost, but I haven't found an answer yet and a few things have come up that might help people)
