    So, it took a while but i got it taken to a repair shop near me. It turns out the 2TB SSD on which most of my games were located was having some very bad SMART error, from that they said. Got the SSD swapped for a new one and for now everything seems to be working fine. I am in a location with...

    I can only speak for myself but a CPU/GPU repasting at least once a year with a good thermal paste and then cleaning the fan blades with an air duster would do good. Same with a cooler. I do it twice a year because not only do I use the living bejeesus out of it, but also my i9900k runs pretty...

    A couple of very dumb questions, possibly. Howl old is the laptop and have you done a CPU/GPU repasting since you got it, if the laptop is more than one year old? On my Ol`bess here (2019 Octane VI i990k/RTX2080) I do a repasting/cleaning at least 1 a year most of the times twice a year. Also...

    During that test? It maxed out at 61c but second and 3rd test where I had all the settings on the benchmark maxed up/enabled it went up to 65c. You see what is confusing? Every benchmark or test I did, it passes with flying colors. The moment i load a game in...shuts down. I will look more...

    You mean the Link State Power Management under PCI Express? Yeah mine was on Off for default so I chose the Maximum Power setting. TBH, the choice I had was between Moderate and Maximum so I chose Max @ubuysa Not sure it was a thermal one. When I played AC Mirage a few days ago, it did get to...

    Thank you for all your help with the issues I was having. I have completed the clean install and am slowly adding back most of the things i need however (and this might not be the best place to ask) I don`t feel confident with only using Windows Defender as my sole Antivirus. I can live without...

    Perfect, one last question because I am old and rusty at this windows install. Should I just boot from the USB once i get it done without formatting C drive or should I format C before and start from scratch? As in, should I do a reset/keep my files or do a full wipe/clean install Again, thank...

    Yeah, i guess i will do that. I cannot find the Cyren and Roxco programs you mentioned after looking all over the place and as I said, I am on a 1Gb line so anything wiped off can be reinstalled later. I am making the Bootable USB now and will format my HDD and install from the USB. Just need to...

    Done https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yF5XWNq82vW_No9ocPi5EwgdB02yJT8K?usp=sharing I did what you asked and cleared the logs before playing anything. This happened about 10 minutes in playing AC Mirage. There was nothing in any of the folders inside LiveKernellReports. No dump files...

    Good morning I am using HWmonitor and temps seem to be fine. When I was doing all those benchmarks and tests SpyderTraks was asking me to the temps were fine. During the 2h Heaven Benchmark Extreme run the temps were a stable 80ish on the CPU and 70ish on the GPU. I have run multiple Cinebench...

    Instant shutdown. I have to manually press the power button to turn it on again. But so far it seems to be affecting 2 games only. Cyberpunk2077 and starfield. I have them both modded with Nexus mods so maybe that is what is partially to blame. Will have to investigate further as in try and run...

    Hello again. I appreciate and thank you for your answer, but that leads me to another question, and forgive my ignorance, but if the issue is with the power, wouldn`t the battery prevent it from shutting down when it does not draw enough power from the socket? the battery is always full as i...
