Hello, so i have a major issue with my relatively new laptop, its about 6 months old and i have already had some trouble with it but this just ruins gaming on it. luckily google still works for school and browsing. and at those times the clock speed is doing okay and just varies a little bit like it should but while gaming is goes all over the place and makes games unplayable due to the constant fps drops. My rig: Asus TUF A15 4060, Ryzen 7 7735HS, 16GB ram (see video) the clock speed drops drastically every 2/4 seconds while under high load, i have updated the drivers, i have tried older drivers, reinstalled AMD adrenaline 3 times or something. ofc restarted my laptop a ton. i am very sure this is an issue with my CPU and nothing else but with my computer knowledge i have no idea what is going on so i have come to the pc knowledge gods, hopefully for some kind of answer. i have tried looking online and submitting an issue at the AMD forums, but with both i got back empty handed and more worried than before. fan mode or GPU mode for the laptop doesn't matter, plugged in or on battery also don't. The CPU fans work as intended and this still happened when the CPU was 60-70 degrees Celsius. btw while browsing the web, the clock speed stays at about 4 GHz but then when gaming is varies from around 4 GHz to 1.7 GHz to 0.4 GHz and everything in between, below and above. it seems to random. Thank you for anyone who read this far, I'm already grateful for even trying to help. (btw, sorry about my English, it's my secondary language) IMG_4452.mov -
I gave my friend my unused 8gb sodimm stick(2666mhz), he installed it on his laptop with 4gb of soldered 3200mhz ram. And now his laptop shows black screen but his power button still lights up. He is using a Lenovo laptop with which model I'm not quite sure of. Could this caused by speed difference in the ram? -

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some help with picking out a new laptop. I'm selling my PC and current laptop to get one that I can use at home with a monitor and in the university. I've just started studying Civil Engineering at university. I need a laptop that's powerful enough to handle all my coursework (CAD, Revit), with a good graphics card for the job. I don't need a huge screen, but at least 14 inches would be nice. Also, since there aren't many power sockets in my classrooms, I need a laptop with a battery that lasts a while. If anyone has any recommendations or tips based on what they've used for engineering stuff, I'd really appreciate it. Whether it's a specific brand or just features to look out for, I'm all ears. Thanks a bunch for any help you can give!

G'day from down under! Looking for laptop suggestions for work to mainly use with solidworks. (Alex may be the perfect person due to his frequent use of solidworks and his expertise in laptop reviewing) I have a desktop that smashes solidworks and has been working great but as my side business is expanding I need a laptop so I can do some work on the go. Ideally looking from something in the USD1000-1500 range that will run solidworks fairly well. I'm not expecting a miracle as any heavy loads I'll run on the desktop. Will be the usual emailed and web browsing to go with it.

Soooo I have a quite old by today's standards Lenovo ideapad laptop, I was showing my friend a new wallpaper I put so I snipped it and sent it to him on whatsapp, then when I checked on my phone, the wallpaper looked 10 times better, all the colors were waayy more vibrant and it made me wonder if I could do the same on my laptop screen? Is that something possible with a bit of configuration or is it some tech that probably isn't supported on my laptop...my phone is a nova3i btw

specs: Ryzen 5 5600h 16gb RAM for some reason, hovering over the battery icon shows 4hrs of life remaining at 100% ! shouldn't it be higher? about 6hrs+ ? Im only using the browser with a couple tabs and having an office app open. I haven't even begun doing any video editing/ photo editing. Not even played any games on it yet.

I’ve had my ASUS rig strix g16 for under a month and all of a sudden, the next day, the temps increased by 10c or something. Here’s a picture of what the temps were before, and after. The programs I’m running are the exact same and this is like a 1 week difference. The fans are louder and the temps are increased. I opened the laptop and checked the fans, they were clean. The laptop is also lifted using these. This is the second time I’ve purchased this laptop. The first one also overheated a month in. I have the laptop raised using these things and temps decreased by 5c which is good when I first elevated the laptop. I had this problem with my old model a month and a half in. I’m thinking about sending it for a rma for them to repaste the laptop. The laptop is undervolted by -80mv using the bios IMG_0607.heic IMG_0607.heic

Recently my Asus GL503GE started to lag(cannot go above 10-15 fps) in all games(and some normal apps). Here are the specs: CPU: I7-8750H GPU: GTX 1050ti RAM: 16 GB Storage: Windows 10 on a 120GB Adata SSD, and a 1TB HDD. I have tried reinstalling my display drivers, set my games to use the Nvidia GPU in the Nvidia control panel and the Windows Graphics preferences settings, use the 'best performance' power plan, but nothing has worked. I also have the latest BIOS version for my laptop and the latest Windows updates. When I play a game, the Nvidia GPU stays at 0% most of the time, but does random spikes of activity to 100% and the Intel GPU stays between 10% and 50%, with some random spikes to 100% as well. Here is a screenshot just after I shut down Elden Ring: What can I try to fix this?

laptop Laptop crashes when the charger is plugged in
The_Warrio332 posted a topic in Troubleshooting
Hey, My mother has been having issues with her Asus Vivobook (Asus Vivobook 15 F512JA-AS34). The laptop works as expected while on battery, but the moment you plug in the charger (while in Windows) the laptop freezes. It is the same charger that came in the box, and it does charge the laptop's battery. I expected an issue with Windows, but for some reason, I was unable to get into the Windows installation environment (Created an installation disk with the Windows Media Creation Tool). BIOS works normally, with or without a charger and I do not suspect thermals to be the issue. It gets slightly more weird after this. I used the Ventoy software to make a bootable USB and put on Linux Mint on it to test if I could replicate the Windows issues on Linux. I was unable to get into the Linux environment (tried both Cinnamon and Mate versions) and get the following error screen (same for both versions) The Linux ISO's and windows install were working (tested on a secondary laptop) After a few more attempts I tried running Hiren's Boot PE, but could not get it to launch. The Linux built-in Memtest stopped at around 25%. Are the problems described here fixable or do you believe it is a hardware problem and we need to get a new laptop?

Hi all, I have a laptop which work let me keep when we moved over to new laptops. Admittedly i think it was just a nice IT guy as opposed to company policy. However, the laptop is bios locked, initially I managed to boot it from usb windows media, and reinstalled windows, removing all partitions (bitlocker was mentioned during this part). Now when I turn on the laptop it takes me to a corporate login page, seems like initial set up of a corporate laptop. I am wondering if I replace the SSD if this will solve the issues and I can reinstall windows on it then? I’ve also read that if I use the new ssd in this machine it will be locked to that machine? I believe the Bios lock is going to be impossible to remove. Happy to answer any questions.

I'm becoming more mobile and not using my desktop much. I'm considering of buy a 14" laptop for web development and light/casual gaming. It should handle 4k monitors easily without stuttering. I'm considering the Legion Slim 5 Gen 8 AMD (14") with RTX 4060, 32gb ram, AMD Ryzen™ 7 7840HS. I'm used to lenovo's warranty and they're quite good. What do you guys think? -
I have a ASUS ROG Zephyrus 2021. I am trying to factory reset my laptop, but when I tried I got stuck on the BitLocker Recover screen. When I enter my BitLocker Code, I get this error message from my laptop (image). When I close it, it brings me back to the BitLocker screen. F11 and ESC also bring me back to BitLocker. What do I do?

Hello everyone I am re shelling my acer spin 3 SP314-53n laptop as the plastic has deteriorated and I cant screw the hinges in anymore and the case is cracked and broken and being held together via cellotape for about a year ish + I have found the part numbers for both the cases however cannot find a palmrest (6B.HFCN5.001) with a us keyboard and I'd rather not use a uk keyboard. The parts supplier has a us keyboard separate. Would anyone know of a place where I could find one as I cannot find any that arent sold out and if not how would i switch the keyboards across?(i know its probably plastic riveted but i am willing) -
My MSI Laptop (MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo A11MT-223) has been shutting off without warning, the battery is near full too. Not even a BSOD, just completely dies on me. To turn it back on, I have to plug it in, close it, open it and press the power button. This has happened 4 times within the last few hours and I don't understand why. It has only happened when I have it unplugged. I highly doubt it is overheating because I have the fans set to balanced mode, and it shut off without the laptop feeling hot at all or the fans even spinning. In windows 10 event viewer it says I have 4 critical events that happened in the last hour (it has crashed 4 times) Event ID 41, saying it has rebooted wihout cleanly shutting down first. Any ideas on what's wrong?? I updated windows and other drivers. Do I need to clean fans or something? I've had it for about a year and a half with on and off use.

Hello, I’m look for recommendations on a new laptop for productivity. This would consist of using excel and other processing programs, email, work, etc. I’m not as in tune with laptops compared to desktop pcs these days. I would like a larger amount of storage (ssd for booting preferred), something not too big or too small, longevity, and usb-c docking capability. Thanks in advance! Luke -
Hi, So i have repasted 4 times like in a 6 months period and i have even replaced the both laptop's fans with new ones but i see no improvement in temperatures. What i'm doing wrong? few things from side: - Using laptop Cooler - Vents are clear - Bios Up to date - Room temp not high - No virus or anything, fresh installation I can not under-volt because of my Bios update version with Intel XTU, neither under-volting works with throttlestop. So under-volting is not possible. CPU temps go to 100C even with loads like 10-30%, where as GPU is fine at 99% of load. Please help.

I recently bought a Samsung galaxy pro 3 360 2 in 1. The best buy listing says: Samsung - Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 2-in-1 16" 3K AMOLED Touch Screen Laptop - Intel 13th Gen Evo Core i7-1360P - 16GB Memory - 1TB SSD - Graphite. I just realized that there is a deal on P16s 16" AMOLED. The title for that product says: Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Laptop: 16" 4K+ OLED, Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD. I am confused as this P16s can be had for ~300$ cheaper and I am still in the return window. Would love to get insights from wise strangers on the internet. My use case: 1. I have pretty powerful machines at home and don't particularly need the power as I can remote into the home network. God bless tailscale. 2. I play games like civ 6, football manager which work on either from what I understand. This is more for when on a flight. 3. I haven't experienced the display on P16s, but the screen on the galaxy book is absolutely fantastic. I would love to take it to the rooftop and be able to work. 4. Need the 16" as have an eye condition and need the real estate as everything needs to be zoomed in. 5. The galaxy book has touch screen and has a S Pen. I am indifferent to the S Pen and only use case for touch maybe the games in flights. That is if the games are touch compatible. Is it worth it for me to go through the return process and switch to the P16S. Appreciate your time and guidance. -
I'm really just looking for a good personal Laptop, I do a lot of traveling for work, so nothing massive. I do a lot of work in BlueBeam Revu, I'm an engineer, but i don't need a daily driver, just something I can pull out on the fly and make quick adjustments if needed as well as simple things like checking email and browsing the web if needed. Key point I would like to have include: USB C charging USB C Connectivity AUX Preferably under the $800 mark, but $1,000 is the budget A brand that doesn't start with a "D" Intel would be preferred for this type of work. I think that pretty much sums up what I am looking for. I have already found a couple that I like but I'm not quick to pull the trigger, as I have failed in the past MANY times to pick a decent unit. Both my Dell and HP units just... were lacking? The only one I have owned so far that I actually enjoyed was my Lenvo ThinkPad, but that was before I started on my current career path. Thanks in advance. -
About a year ago, I've upgraded my Laptop (Acer Aspire A317-51G) from 8GB of Ram (2x4GB) to 20GB (1x4GB, 1x16GB). It always worked fine but yesterday, it just decided to not boot -> It starts, the Power LED turns on, but there is no video, the display doesn't even turn on. If I remove the stick of RAM that I added a year ago and replace it with the old one, it does the same thing. I have no other slots to test, because the other 4GB are soldered to the Mobo.

Here is my case, I am currently doing a doctorate in Europe and in need of an upgrade computer wise, now I can either choose between a new laptop or a desktop, for a laptop I can't spend more than 1500€ since most available models at this budget are with a 4060, as for a desktop (screen included) I can push the budget up to 2000€ and between the two one has the advantage of portability and the other can be customized and upgraded over time, not to mention the performance difference, now what would you advice between what kind of PC I go with and if you have any good laptop suggestions or desktop builds within the budgets, that would be very helpful. NB: * Location is Italy * Primary usage of the upgrade is for research and gaming (the 2020 and forward single player releases) * I already own an old laptop HP Probook i7 3rd gen which still works and will upgrade just its battery for light daily usages -
Hello, I am planning on buying a laptop for myself for regular day-to-day office work and some/ rare gaming. I have been looking at Lenovo and Asus and I am confused between 2 specifications. A-> Company- ASUS- TUF A15 CPU- AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX GPU- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop RAM- 8GB DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM *2 Storage- 512GB PCIe 3.0 NVMe M.2 SSD B-> Company- Lenovo LOQ CPU- Intel i5-12450H GPU- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop RAM- 8GB DDR5-4800MHz (SODIMM) *2 Storage- 512 GB SSD M.2 2242 PCIe Gen4 TLC Both systems have 8GBx2 = 16GB of ram. but A has DDR4 ran whereas B has DDR5 ram. Both are at an approximate same price point but the ASUS laptop is refurbished. My approximate budget is 70,000 INR +/- 5,000 INR. I am unsure as to which laptop to select. Please feel free to ask any questions/ clarifications/ details required from my side. Kindly help.
