  1. Resetting windows 11 ultimately fixed the issue, thanks for your help!
  2. Ok I’ll have a look into these thank you. It’s a 1 week old laptop so I could probably just walk into the store and hopefully swap it. I just don’t want to spend hours reinstalling my stuff again. But in the process of diagnosing this I’ve already wasted so much time. Would appreciate if someone looked into the DMP files as well.
  3. 1)wouldn't the issue not be related to a spike since it also occurs even more frequently when unplugged 2)the laptop came with windows 11 out of the box. Would it still be worth it to install windows 10 then? 3) I've tried the stable version of Nvidia drivers from windows update. No difference unfortunately 4) how would I know which bios versions are "stable"?
  4. 1 week old laptop, latest window 11, GeForce experience drivers. Acer app says up-to-date. My Bios is 1.09 and the latest bios on the Acer website is also 1.09. Issue occurs more frequently when unplugged (6-7x in 20 minutes yesterday) - I noticed the trackpad stops responding, then 30 seconds later...BSOD, but I recall it happened when plugged in as well, I plugged in my logitech g703 USB dongle in the right port and then BSOD I have 2 USB dongles plugged in: 1 for my Bluetooth headphones (Logitech APTX) and 1 for my Logitech mouse (I vaguely read that this BSOD can be due to peripherals but I havent tried unplugging them yet) Things i've tried: reinstalling Nvidia drivers with DDU in safe mode, uninstalling logitech g-hub. I really don’t want to return the laptop and spend hours re-installing software. My question is, is this hardware or software? I’d appreciate everybody’s input I've attached 5 DMP files + reliability history. Thank you. 042523-10953-01.dmp 042523-13421-01.dmp 042523-20187-01.dmp 042623-11359-01.dmp 042623-12500-01.dmp Reliability History.XML
  5. Thanks for the reply everyone. So assuming I lightly sand the heatsink and purchase the thicker thermal paste you recommended. From your experiences, will this likely provide a longer-term solution than re-pasting every 2 months because my current, watery TIM is not doing its job? Are there any other options?
  6. Interestingly after playing Overwatch for a bit last night, some of the other cores were reaching above 90 temps so I wonder is it because of uneven mounting pressure, drying out paste or low mounting pressure in general... I'm from the UK. I go for the pea method.
  7. Ok so I ran it with FPU only, here are the results. What do you think? It seems cores 0,2,4 are the ones reaching max temps upwards of 90c...
  8. Will do when I get home, thanks. Vantage is always performance mode, hybrid mode disabled, Windows Power slider - Better performance.
  9. Hey gang, Re-pasted my y540's 9750h (and GPU) last month. Great temps initially: averages in the 70s, max CPU package mid to high 80s. I kinda forgot about monitoring max temps for a while, checked HWINFO64 after playing Borderlands 3 for a few hours....94C !!! (Average was 77c). So essentially pre re-paste temperatures. What's the deal? I briefly skimmed the internet and read something about not enough contact between the heatsink..air gaps..etc. Or is this really normal for a laptop CPU? Additional info: Laptop always elevated behind for better airflow, undervolted by 150mV, GPU curve overclocked with OC scanner, using Arctic Mx2 TIM
  10. See I'm a beginner overclocking in general, but I've read sufficiently to see that the RTX series are totally overclockable if you've got the temperature head room. In fact, the Acer Helious 300 comes with the GPU overclocked out the box. There's been tons of people OCing their 2060s, 2070 max-q's,
  11. Ah right, so this is definitely not happening with me at the moment. Interestingly it says performance limit -power-yes on stock clock settings after so this doesn't seem to be an indication to stop oc'ing I guess. Since I didn't get any throttling at 155mhz and my temps were around 70-72, I guess I can crank it up a bit more? Are the gpu temps the main factors that you guys look at during an oc really?
  12. What about afterburner? I use it to oc manually. The oc scanner gives me bsod.
  13. I'm sorry is didn't quite get you. Gpu downclocks to avoid overheating, I get that. Who can't detect the clock drops? Hwinfo64?
  14. Hey guys, I've been patiently messing around the core and memory clock overclocking but I'm starting to realize I don't really know my reasoning behind, say, 100MHz vs 150Mhz on the core, for example. My question is what sensors/markers do I use to see if my overclock is successful? I'll explain with some details below. The voltage on my 2060 laptop GPU is a constant 80w so I can't mess with it. I am currently monitoring max GPU temperature, average core clock speed and Heaven Benchmark scores during a games like Overwatch (uncapped FPS) and Metro Exodus. The difference for example between a 120Mhz core OC vs 155Mhz core OC is minimal on the heaven benchmark, and I don't see a difference in average core clock speed during overwatch, nor do I see an increase an average FPS during the game either, while there is an increase in GPU temp by 2-3 degrees. Does this mean that 120MHz core OC is a desirable place to stop OCing? Also, HWINFO64 says "Performance Limit - Power - YES", while "Performance Limit - Thermal NO". Does this mean the GPU excess clock demands too additional power that the 80w can't meet and therefore any further OCing of the core clock is useless? Any help would be appreciated. I'm really eager to learn all these metrics. Thanks
