Let me guess. It was a bloke from the genius bar at Currys PC World? I feel for you!

After doing some googling I have discovered you need a USB-C - DP/HDMI cable but it must also have power passthrough. Like this...

:ROFLMAO: Who on earth told you that would play games! I suppose solitaire counts but still!

Are you expecting the customer services rep who answers the phones to build PC's too :ROFLMAO:

So my specification is below. It comes in at just under £1500. If you can afford it I would recommend the 3060 as it will give your laptop a slightly longer useful life span. I changed your SSD configuration for two evo 970's. These are excellent drives and perform much better than the PCS...

Yeh it wouldn't be a bad shout. Unless anyone else on this forum has any other suggestions. It sounds like you have carried out all the appropriate actions to remedy any software/configuration faults. I would be looking at hardware now. If the mainboard is at the end of it life you will find it...

No worries mate. Personally I don't think 1g would be enough. Off the top of my head you probably want a 1g blob for the GPU and same again for the CPU. But it really is subjective.

Sooo turning on a laptop whilst the case open is a really bad idea. Firstly it is potentially incredibly dangerous and secondly if you are going to terminally break your laptop this is your best chance of doing it. That being said perhaps that is coil whine but its pretty hard to tell because...

Right those foamy bits will lift out with the whole of the cooler. They are part of the cooler so don't try to remove them. You need to disconnect the four connectors pointed to by green arrows. the two small ones at the top are for the fans the larger one at the bottom is for the battery...

Whilst the laptop displays that PCS laptops have are great there is no way they come near the quality of the MacBook Pro screens so if this is a deal breaker you are best looking elsewhere.

Excellent everything is as it should be. As suspected your problem is thermals. Can you take a picture and post it here so we can see what you mean.

Would you please also paste the link you will find at the bottom of this quote when you click on post to forum. This will allow us to make changes. *Edit* - Just seen that @JUNI0R has already asked for it lol.

I always forget prime gaming is a thing. Thanks for the heads up!

Right reinstall Windows again and do nothing except the list of actions @Scott outlined for you. Definitely don't go messing around with regedit. We cant help you fault find if you are changing settings in your system.

What do you mean by this? Where did you make this change?

I have never seen warning symbols against the CPU in device manager like that. And each time you run Fire Strike it throws warnings about your GPU. *edit* - What does information box say when you double click on one of the CPU icons with the warning?

@connmal Sounds like a plan. Make sure you do it how @Scott says here.

And this confirms it. The little warning symbols are devices which haven't been installed. I think base system device is usually the chipstt driver.

I would start from scratch. Especially as you installed that Driver fix. You don't know what it's done.

Yeh just to be thorough.
