Hahaha no worries, I have already accepted the fate of the laptop to return to PCS. I couldn’t find anything on how to fix the issue, or at least nothing that wouldn’t require me to spend a lot of time digging in logs and memory dumps to find the issue, but I don’t have that time, sadly. The...

Fingers crossed for your laptop, Wilrog! Since the crashes tend to show the DCP_Watchdog_Violation code, I’m still trying to see what driver might be conflicting with the GPU. Who knows, maybe it’s actually just a software issue? Please, make it a software issue 🙏

Nothing changing really. Just like each time, as soon as I install the graphics drivers, it’s either a black screen completely, and/or a windows crash pretty soon after.

Yeah, the system still doesn‘t boot up. I have noticed also that Windows says GPU-Z can’t be started in safe mode, so that means when I made those two photos, it was not in safe mode. And the drivers were not installed. Could the Start-up repair have uninstalled them to allow windows to start...

And here’s what GPU-Z gives me. No RTX3080 detected. Edit: Wait... I attempted to install the GPU drivers manually again, while in safe mode, and it installed without any issues. I am adding the GPU-Z window showing the 3080. Let’s see what a restart does.

Oh it seems like one is the GPU driver, and the other is GeForce Experience

I haven’t been able to start safe mode yet, the laptop struggles to even start properly altogether after the crashes start happening. As for the VGA driver, I don’t remember which one I tried, but I know that I also tried downloading manually from NVIDIA’s website as well as from GeForce...

I ran the PCI5X17.exe as I assumed it could be running additional stuff that setup might not be running

I’m pretty sure that’s one of the first drivers I installed, but I’m going to try and see what that gives me

I have restored the default optimal, though nothing has changed in the settings. I’m going to try downloading GPU-Z in safe mode to see what it gives me.

F2 worked, what should I look for?

I haven’t touched anything in the BIOS, do you know if there might be an update maybe? Or where do we get the Bios updates if there are any?

That is definitely possible, since when it arrived, I booted it and ran the updates. Though it didn’t download the NVIDIA drivers through windows update, even though GeForce Experience said that it needed to install something. Now that I think about it, I don’t remember if GeForce Experience...

Thats what it looks like to me too. The files are too big to upload to the forum, but here is a wetransfer link. https://we.tl/t-rWn3u14Dum

Definitely! I was really excited about it! Thank you all for the help though! That left me with a good experience both on the PCS side and the forum side in terms of tech support.
