    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST High CPU use/temps after recent Win10 update

    dism command was clean, sfc found a few issues which were corrected. I reinstalled KB5005033 and sure enough the temps started to rise again.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST High CPU use/temps after recent Win10 update

    After researching a bit more (as far as I could as there is little information on the web about this), I've found a few other people with the same issue on various sites. Seems to be down to KB5005033, but why I don't know. Any suggestions from anyone? I don't really like the idea of not...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST High CPU use/temps after recent Win10 update

    Hi, I've had my laptop for about 9 months now and after a few initial issues everything has been good. A few months ago (maybe around April) I noticed that my CPU wasn't getting as hot anymore and the fans weren't coming on as much. I didn't notice any performance drop, however I have only...

    I had another freezing error as mentioned in my last post the other day. I've contacted PCS the day after asking what to do and they suggested a reinstall of Windows, which I did, but it obviously didn't help. I've therefore had to start an RMA process :cry:

    I've done as you suggested, however I'm not sure what information you wanted from the device manager, so I assumed it would be the GPU details. If you want any more information, please let me know and thank you very much for helping me out with this issue!

    Hi, I've had my new laptop for about a week now and I have twice got this BSOD (both times while playing Factorio). I've updated my NVidia drivers (457.09) after the first instance of the BSOD, but it has just happened again. Optimus Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD 120Hz 45% NTSC LED Widescreen...

    Thanks, NVidia Control Panel says 442.80 too. I try the later drivers. One other thing I've noticed after playing around is that the CPU seems to get 'very' hot from what I was expecting. I tried playing Anno 1800 on and off for the past hour varying several settings: Gaming Centre: Gaming mode...

    Thanks for all that information, very useful and has answered most of my questions. I think I just need to decide if it is worth waiting for the RTX 2060 with Ryzen 7 combination as I've noticed that I could get the Optimus Pro spec I quoted above, but with the 10875H for a little extra money...
