    BFV and 2042 keep crashing on my HP Victus

    Hi there. I bought this laptop around 3 months ago, and while every other game I play works just fine, it’s these two (BFV and 2042) that never seem to work appearantly. The game loads up in the main menu, and even gets in game and lets me play for almost a minute, but as soon as that happens it crashes, without any fps drops or even a crash error. This has repeatedly happened to me ever since I’ve gotten the laptop in only these games, and I’ve tried to do everything I could, including changing settings, updating drivers, re-installing multiple times, and yet the issue seems to persist consistently.

    Any help or fix for this would be highly appreciated.

      Welcome to PCHF ???

      Let’s see what’s going on, with the settings.

      Please download MiniToolBox and save it to your desktop.
      Run the program by right clicking on it and selecting Run as administrator.
      When the program opens check mark Select All Then hit GO
      Please post the log in your next reply. Attach or copy and paste, whatever is easier for you.

                      Do you use one drive? Remove it if not with O&O app buster provided below.

                      [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]There are two programs to manage your startups and scheduled task:

                      Disable anything you do not use every single time you start the computer, there is no need to have multiple items starting with the machine, that will waste resources. Leave Microsoft Scheduled task alone, if you are unsure of the importance of the task, the startups can go, only thing you really need starting is windows defender.

                      [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]What’s in startup. ============ > Click Here

                      [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]TaskSchedulerView[COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)].============> Click Here



                      Let’s change some power settings:

                      Create and run batch file.

                      Open a notepad and copy the entire content of the code box below.
                      Do not copy the word code!
                      Paste the txt into the notepad. Save the file to your desktop as [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]screen.bat
                      Now you will right click the on [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]screen.bat and run as administrator.
                      Code:
                      @echo off

:: Set Active Power Scheme to Balanced
powercfg -setactive 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e

:: Suspend after 60 min on AC Power
powercfg -change standby-timeout-ac 35

pause
exit


                      Download O&O APP buster, remove all the preinstalled crap.
                      Download O&O ShutUp10, move it to your documents folder.
                      Right click run as admin.
                      Go to actions, apply all settings.
                      Create the restore point when prompted.
                      Follow thru the prompts, and reboot if needed to apply the settings.

                          Hi. Thankyou for helping with all of this. I applied all of these, however I’m now facing a new issue where the game simply crashes as soon as i open the server list from any of the game modes. This didn’t happen before, as I’d at least be able to get in-game, however I’ve tried launching the game several times now and yet i keep facing the same issue. What could possibly go wrong here?[/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color]

                              Maybe the DNS settings are bad for your region.

                                  [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Limit how much windows update uses your bandwidth!

                                  Since this is a gaming laptop, you should set your
                                  Set Active Power Scheme to High Performance.
                                  From Elevated command prompt:
                                  Copy and paste the code below and hit enter, this will change your power plan settings.
                                  Do not copy the word code!

                                  [ICODE]powercfg.exe -SETACTIVE 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c [/ICODE]

                                  Disable Edge: If you do not use it.



                                  Also, make sure you have cleaned up the old driver for your graphics card.

                                  This will prevent windows update from installing drivers when you reboot.

                                  [ul]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]

                                  Download and install DDU
                                  Boot Into Safe Mode.
                                  Remove the Display drivers, with DDU
                                  Reboot back into normal mode.
                                  Reinstall and uncheck everything except the driver.
                                  With the Nvidia Clean install tool.

                                  If there are any yellow ? marks in the device manager.
                                  Install this app and provide a screen shot of your device manager.
                                  Make certain you have installed your Chipset driver as well.
                                  Go here and enter the serial number, if anything is missing from device manager.
                                  To get serial number copy and paste [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]wmic bios get serialnumber into command prompt.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

                                          @senpaiii- I’ll allow 48 more hours for you to reply.
                                          Then I’ll assume this thread is in a state of neglect and close.

                                                  Hi there. Apologies for the late reply, got occupied with work and stuff. However, just to update, I tried doing everything that was mentioned here, however the game still hasn’t been fixed for me. As a result, I simply uninstalled the game, as I don’t plan to play it anytime soon. Thankyou for the help by everyone here, truly appreciate it.

                                                      OK, guess the issue has been side-stepped then.

                                                          Thread re opened as user still having issues with the same notebook.

                                                          Question, being that the notebook is almost new why have you not had this sorted under warranty.
