no, it shouldn't but when dragging windows in-between monitors the window will refresh at the slowest one.

I've dead shorted a motherboard before and after a year of it sitting I cleared the cmos and it fired right back up at the expense of the audio controller

start by checking temps of cpu and gpu

All specs as follows: -Clevo P650RP6-G base laptop -i7-6700HQ CPU -GTX 1060 6GB model (+185 Core, +650 Mem) -1080p 60Htz Gsync pannel -2x4GB Gskill Ripjaws 2400Mhz -2x4GB Oloy stuff 2400Mhz -Silicon Power 256GB m.2 sata (boot) -WD Blue 500GB m.2 Hello, probably my third time coming here for things that I cannot fix on my own. As usual I have tried many different things resulting as: -DDU nvidia driver and reinstall to latest driver 471.41 -manual cmos clear and keybord shortcut bios clear -many restarts later -disabling afterburner and other programs as such -changing sata operation from achi to raid, even disabling uefi which affects nothing at all Unsure what to do from here, I am also a little sketched out on getting the right bios files for my laptop too because I have a feeling that is going to be my final choice or the gpu is going to be dead. There literally isn't even a backlight when optimus is disabled and I'm kind of just tired of it because some programs wont run unless I have optimus disabled and all that. TLDR when igpu is disabled on gaming laptop there is no screen response, not even a backlight.

Anybody know of some sort of manafacturer or anybody that can create a custom laptop? I am the kind of person to never shut my system down and currently have a gaming laptop as my daily (1060, 6700hq). I was wondering if there is a person or is there already is someone that has something crazy like a celeron cpu on a dual 99.9whr battery system? Weight I don't care about, I know its going to be heavy but honestly it would just be a little more than what I currently have. I am willing to make sacrafices for it like a single m.2 drive or emmc that you cannot upgrade, ram would be the same way to me aslong as its atleast 8gb because I occasionally do vm stuff and mc server testing.

The model: the Clevo P65xRP6 the rp in it I guess is hinting to that LG phillips display. It is also a gsync display too is that matches up with that LPWF6.

I did buy this laptop second hand, seller claimed it was 144htz, and it was running at 144htz when I took a look at it when I was going to go buy it, It indeed was running at 60, but he did show me the 144htz option that was actually available. Also said that it was an upgraded pannel to the 144. Custom built too. At this point do you think I should reinstall windows, or contact the seller again to get an actual confirm it is 144? When I recieved the laptop and got home the first thing I did do was update the gpu drivers and reset the laptop entirely, removing all programs and everything off of it. I also did the may 2020 update aswell so could that have broke and caused something to happen?

Ive, already tried that...

I just realized this is in the wrong section

Picked up this laptop that has a 144htz display, odd thing is I can't get it to run at 144, its a clevo P65xRP6 with the 1080p 1060m 8gb ddr4 2400 and the optional fingerprint scanner. The laptop display is 144htz, I have done numerous driver reinstalls and even grabbed the old drivers from the website but i cannot get it to run at 144, my only options are 60 and 48. I know this is a 144htz display since there is only one model, the 144htz. There is literally no option for it I am stuck and have to come here again. I swear to god don't even tell me to go to advanced display properties or the nvidia control panel and make a custom res. Yes, I disabled nvidia optimus, I have it to only run on the 1060 and I still cant. any knowledge or help would be appreciated. sorry for them being so big, its terrible right now

Sounds good I'll look into it thankyou.

I picked up an Acer aspire with an i5-5200u, 8gb ddr3 and a 940m, for 80$. Still a deal even with the broken gpu in it. I have reflowed directing the heat to the whole gpu chip and the ddr3 ram chips, multiple times, I do not think that the vram is dead rather there is a driver issue. Once there is a small amount being pulled all hell goes loose in the same fashion where there is a bios/driver issue on those fake gpu's from wish and stuff. There are random shapes on the screen just as they would be. I don't think I can find a good driver for it since that is leading me to believe that there is something wrong with the vram, and/or a driver since this is the more uncommon 4gb model. Are there any sort of different or more special drivers that I could use, or a very out of date one that would work with this model, This is the 4gb version not the 2gb one that you cant find anymore. This is leading me to believe that there is just a basic driver issue since the person that owned it before me (I bought this second hand) did not notice anything wrong going on, he said he stopped using it and about a year ago it started to artifact and all of that. There was a nvidia forum or on toms hardware where it was mentioned that there was a windows 10 update that caused all of these driver things and stuff to happen, which might be why windows is auto installing the wrong driver and whatnot. I have already ddu'ed multiple times trying on the latest driver, and older one which the driver installer did say that there was something wrong or different about the hardware and that it couldn't install. I for somereason cannot run a vram test since all of the different programs that I used either did not select the right gpu( the integrated stuff or the 940m) or it would just crash. Actually after typing all of this up rnrn this is making me think that he sold it cheap because he may have done a bios update or windows tried to or something like that and then started causing problems. Once again, I have reflowed the vram and gpu multiple times with no avail, the vram solder joints even look a lot better and more clearer than the cloudy garbage that they looked like before. Should I use flux while reflowing too? maybe there is actually a problem with one of the solder joints? Im kinda in a loop at this point, if any1 has ever dealt with the 940m and has had a similar issue please give me all of the infromation that you can. While typing up more of that this is actually making me think that there is actually nothing wrong the gpu, it never crashes on a stress test and the vram is actually, well obviously casuing a big problem with it since it is doind the same thing with the fake gpus with the wrong bios installed and is casuing all of those shapes since windows is reading the hardware and fiding 4gb of vram and then it would be installing the right rivers because in device manager is will only find the right amount of vram with a driver installed. I think this is only happening with the driver installed too since it is reding the wrong bios and is installing or making the wrong driver install and is causing the issues because it is reading the wrong hardware Is there even a way to flash a notebooks discreet gpu, I CAN tell if anything is using the gpu or when it is inactive and whatnot from the nvidia control pannel. Should I try to sell this for more than I bought it for but idk if I really should or can, I assumed there was nothing wrong with the laptop and it was just overheating but there is actually and problem with it. I know im a dumbass. Can I flash its bios I should try to do that since that does have a history of fixing things for like a week. I even fucking wiped my ssd to see if that one creators update was causing the issue. the bessel around the keyboard is scrated and bended up probably from the previous owner getting into it, lmao there are 12 screws missing from the fucking bottom too. enough to keep it together tho. ok more things I just installed the driver to get the artifacting garbage sow I can show you what it is doing. and it was working just fine until I restarted the computer, legit frfr, like do you normally have to restart to get the drivers to work? Before when I installled the driver it wouldn't work right after and just start artifacting, but i like worked until I restarted windows. like wtf how does this work rn plz I need help This is my first gpu that is acting like this I really need to know if you can reflash a mobile gpu's bios, or will I have to flash the whole computers bios since it is a laptop. anything will really help plz respond if you have any ideas or infromation.
