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...

That is a good link Spyder....i will try it when i do the next cleanup cycle. I know the 9900K is 37.5mm x 37.5mm,and i think the GPU is 23mm x 23mm

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...

That`s the Furmak Test done. This screenshot was taken 10 minutes after starting the CPu burner as well. You can see the CPU at 100% use and a stable 83c temp. hell Spydertracks, I even ran a Furmark with the settings of Extreme Burn-in enabled and passed the test. It got a score of 9552 I...

Thank you I will contact PCS once i return to uk in a week and go from there. If it is a hardware failure, i have no idea what is causing it. After my last post I did the following again * Cinebench tests on CPU/GPU - both stress test and Stability test - no shutdowns *1h Heaven benchmade on...

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yF5XWNq82vW_No9ocPi5EwgdB02yJT8K?usp=sharing Fresh reinstall of windows 10, minimal software installed, just Clevo Control Center, Nvidia drivers NordVPN and Hwmonitor and the mandatory windows updates. Ran the game Chernobylite and it shutdown within 2...

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...

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yF5XWNq82vW_No9ocPi5EwgdB02yJT8K?usp=sharing Well, it happened again @ubuysa ...just on CP2077 on a fresh install, no mods whatsoever, clean install on Cyberpunk2077 as well. I did upgrade to Windows 11 since i posted last. Did not install any of the...

Thank you for your reply. I will stick with your recommendation and not put anything besides the Windows Firewall and Windows defender. Will see how it goes. I will update tomorrow once i reinstall all my games and programs minus the ones you said not to install

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...

Thank you...I will do that right now. * I will uninstall Bit Defender and would you recommend i use another antivirus? What would be your recommendation? * I will get rid of system mechanic as well. * I do not remember installing anything CYREN related and I cannot find anything in Program...
