little update : now when i crash theres the error from adrenaline saying that my drivers Timed out , dont know if it says something to you !
 
48℃ at idle/Speccy is a little warm, have you monitored your temps leading up to the crash?


This is my laundry list, it's a good starting point for troubleshooting and should get you an idea what's going on, none of these should impact a warranty claim:


1. Try running the following programs, also try to keep at least 25-30% of your disks as free space.

Run Disk Cleanup (check all the boxes) this will delete things such as your recycling bin, so make sure you don't have any files you want to keep.

Run Defragment and Optimize Drives, run this on your drives.



These will free up some space, but you may need to relocate/delete files to reach the suggested free space.



2. Disable any overclocking or changes to power/performance settings

Undo any overclocking or BIOS tweaks you may have done (if any)

Settings > System > Power and sleep > Additional power settings
Make sure your power plan is set to balanced, high performance/ultimate performance is only beneficial on gaming laptops where it needs that extra boost.


3. Check for Operating System Corruption

Right click on the Windows logo in the bottom left and select Windows Powershell (Admin)
Run these three commands separately:

sfc /scannow

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

These will take a while to run, do not close out of Powershell while they are running, if one fails then move onto the next and then loop back around.

Note: It doesn't hurt to make a system backup before you make all these changes, save any important files of folders. While these changes shouldn't cause any issues, better to be safe than sorry.


4. Unplug unnecessary devices.

If you have a gamepad, extra monitor, external hard drive/flash drive, or anything that is not essential to using the computer plugged in, unplug it.


Once you have completed all of these tasks, restart it (using the restart option in the power menu) and re-test.
 
Hey everyone , so.. Little update ! I tought by updating the bios and chips et, but didnt work , i trier plates many games and it seems like its mostly (and only) happening in call of duty and arena Breakout infinite , i tried battlefield and nothing happen… ive seen some spikes in the perf but other than that nothing … ive got no idea on what to do now ! I kind of dont want to order a new want ( its not cheap :’) )
 
And I swapped the gpu into another friend pc , the problem is really in the gpu , but now its not doing it anymore , its like a non constant problem …
 
Did you ever run DDU?

Did you try the steps I laid out in Post #24?

Yup I did a DDU and yeah tried it all , nothing changed , but I can confirm its coming from the gpu , guess I have to buy another one …
 
Any updates ?
Nope , im still waiting for the new card , should arrive between the 10 and 20 in january ….

Something weird that I saw is that it only does it on certain game , for exemple , it doesnt do it on benchmark or stress text , but cod its always happening …
 
To avoid us having to ask for an update every couple of days we will close this thread until the OP has the time available to work towards resolving the issue, PM a member of staff when you are ready and the thread can be reopened.
