Random Wakelock issues and GPU Problems

O4G · May 11, 2020

Hi all, recently I have some problems with my laptop, it's an ASUS ROG G531GD, Asia only laptop, has a i5-9300H, 4GB + 8GB DDR4 at 2666MHz, 512GB 660p, 1TB WD, and a GTX 1050.

For some reason, my laptop has random shut down issues that is untrackable in Windows Log manager, no reports of shutting down, restarting nothing, I've stressed my GPU, CPU etc and no instabilities were found.

And also after some restarts, I noticed that my edge opens with my previous tabs and a few IPs that goes with 0.0.0.0/26, 0.0.0.0/14 etc etc. Is there a possibility that a keylogger has been installed on my machine? I have just did a "clean" install of Windows recently so I highly doubt that but is that possible?

And also after some restart attempts, my GTX 1050 would just disappear straight up from my system, it's still detectable in the BIOS but in Windows it's NADA, nothing in device manager, nothing in Task Manger nothing. I've only managed to fix it with DDU and it picks up my GTX 1050 just fine, so it's definitely not a hardware issue as far as I am aware of. I have to DDU and shut down my windows,power it back on and my GTX 1050 would miraculously show up again with Microsoft Display Adapter, and after letting it pick up drivers by itself, it was fine again. So I was wondering anyone here has the same issue as me, and if you did what was your problem and your solution to it?

Any replies would be much appreciated.
