Notebook voltage

[PrevenX]

Hello, i just have one simple question. What Voltage should my notebook have? It runs 11.868V and I am worried if its right or my brick is broken cause I got too many crashes lately. 

 

My ntb: ASUS N75SF with I7 and GT 555M GPU, 2x 750Gb 5400 HDD

 

 

Thank you

describe the crashes that you experienced

what led up to it?
what happens?

Power supply should be outputting more than 10.88 v to properly power the notebook

you mean CPU? or like

 

there are so many power consuming parts, and a couple of power output parts, which 'voltage' are you talking about?

Well, when I start to play Some games just Some not all of them after 5 to 10mins game crashed with an error saying  Difficulty when ejecting NVIDIA Geforce GT555M (latest Driver).
NVIDIA GeForce GT 555m is not replaceable and can not eject or unmount

Hole package, not just specific parts.

charging or usage? wattage number will also help.

Your power brick is 19V.  Not 12V.  Look on the label.  It's right there.

 

Use a DMM to see what voltage the brick is putting out.  Not software.

 

Also, does the same thing happen when you're not running on the brick (battery only) or does your battery not last long enough to test it?

The battery is dead so no way to test it... 

 

Well if it is pushing out 12V and its 19V it's fucked up right?

Also, my brick gets really hot when used and I mean really really really hot, u can't touch it for more then a few seconds

It's not pushing 12V. If it was, your computer wouldn't be on.

So how you describe to me this error message? Difficulty when ejecting NVIDIA Geforce GT555M (latest Driver).
NVIDIA GeForce GT 555m is not replaceable and can not eject or unmount ???

I cannot explains that. I am sorry, but the software voltage readout being very off (They always are) is unrelated.

Maybe the driver isn't actually compatible with your GPU (or computer); What happens when you try to install a previous driver revision?

They generally operate at 10.8 - 12 v give or take, and usually recieve 18 - 20 v from the charger brick

Spoiler

It's safe. As far as I know, this is the main board's voltage. Desktop PSUs typically have 12v and 5v rails which various parts use and the input voltage is significantly higher.

The 19v is converted to 12v in the internal psu and its common for the brick to be hot (Unless yours was never that way in the past.)

Have you tried using DDU to remove your drivers and reinstall afterwards?

Many times.... All that happened after downgrading to old one was -20 to 30fps on all games but crashes remain the same...

Yop tried... I even do a clean reinstall of Win but still... the same
