Hi there,
I've recently bought a 17.3" Octane laptop from you guys and i have a few issues which I'm trying to resolve..
First - The pc does not reboot...I've only just discovered this issue after solving another problem before which was a finger-print scanner driver issue.
Anyway, the pc shuts down fine, but when I select reboot, windows says restarting, the screen goes black the lights on the keyboard stay lit but it doesn't reboot. I've waited over 20 minutes for it it reboot before but I got annoyed and just turned it off at power switch and turned it on that way. Do you think a reformat may be needed?
Second - Overclocking. I know laptops aren't meant for overclocking but i found it ridiculous when i found out that similar laptops with the same 970m gfx have default clock at 924MHz. Mine is stock clocked at 540MHz...
I know nvidia's latest drivers don't allow for overclocking so I rolled back my drivers to 344.75 and i still cant overclock. Does it have a locked bios??
(EDIT) Third - the POST screen has no button prompts to enter the bios, I've tried all the main and common ones but to no success. Am I locked out the bios or something? It just shows the PC Specialist screen and then boots to windows.
> here's a image of my gpu (right) and someone else's (Left)
Hope this gets resolved soon.
Thanks,
Sean
FYI, I work for a computer firm building pc's too, so don't treat me like a stupid customer :stuart:
