    Solved Very high power usage + frequent crashes

    Yes that sounds probable! https://www.acer.com/ac/en/IN/content/support-product/7983?b=1 The circled one I installed first. Then in the same link - I installed the IRST Storage driver. After that VGA-Intel, and last VGA-NVIDIA. Followed by Windows updates. Then installed speccy and run...

    Solved Very high power usage + frequent crashes

    Ohh.. I still cannot figure how it happened! Yes you're right about that.. I also noticed twice before the reinstallation that while rendering, when the laptop was charging, the windows froze and it was about to crash (it's crashed so many times that I could see the behavior matched exactly)...

    Solved Very high power usage + frequent crashes

    :( oh. I wonder if it gets clubbed with another driver? Ohh I see.. Even though the laptop has two fans it happens? :( Got it! Also, I just clean installed Windows 10. Then installed Chipset, Storage and GPU drivers from Acer website. Now the windows updates are done. Please find the speccy...

    Solved Very high power usage + frequent crashes

    (y) Okay, I don't know about this one! Any chance that the laptop came this way when I purchased it? I haven't touched the bios so I'm not sure how that got enabled.. Oh okay :) thank you. Will discuss after you're back! Today, I did two things - 1. I disabled all Background Apps in settings...

    Solved Very high power usage + frequent crashes

    So most of the blue screens come up while the rendering is going on.. other than that, only while 3d modelling it *sometimes* happens, or when I'm multitasking with these software in background. While using any other software/apps, no crashing/bsod occurs. When the rendering software wasn't...

    Solved Very high power usage + frequent crashes

    Hey there. I may get time to reinstall windows tomorrow! I had a question though - the last time I used the "remove everything, keep nothing option" while reinstalling. But all my files in the other drives (two drives except C:) were intact. Do you think those files should be removed as well...

    Solved Very high power usage + frequent crashes

    Okay, will try this when a bit of my urgent work is done. MTB log attached below. (MTB-12th Aug.txt) Speccy: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/mM0a0NTFM0boU2iPWGhatg1 Ah yes of course, there's always a BSOD when I use Enscape though, that's why I mentioned it.. Same stopcode "critical...

    Solved Very high power usage + frequent crashes

    Got it! Will take care of this. Update: it still crashes with RTX disabled.. Do you suggest a reinstall of windows and drivers in that case? I tried running the minitoolbox, there still aren't any dump files. The log still shows "error creating dump files". Guess what, even after keeping the...

    Solved Very high power usage + frequent crashes

    Oh so basically reducing the internal heat generation, and ensuring that overheating doesn't continue for longer duration is all I can do at this point. I was thinking, I will try it a few times without RTX Raytracing - if it doesn't make the laptop crash, it may at least be a short solution to...
