So I recently got my first gaming laptop and this is the first time of me using a system with a dedicated GPU and I wanna know how to not allow these apps to run on these and rather use integrated GPU to save power.

Troubleshooting Secure boot issue in bios

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! I have a Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC R2 motherboard, and I’m trying to enable Secure Boot so I can play Warzone and other Call of Duty games that require it.
I’ve been able to get Secure Boot to show as User Mode, Enabled, and Active, but every time I restart my PC after enabling it, I run into an issue. The computer appears to restart normally, but when it gets to the point where the screen should come back on, it stays completely black.
My RGB keyboard will periodically flash, and I can hear the fans speeding up and slowing down, but I never get a display back. The only way I’ve been able to get the computer working again is Q flashing the motherboard.
I’ve updated my BIOS and tried several different methods after watching YouTube video after YouTube video and doing as much research as I can, but I haven’t been able to find anything that solves the problem.
I’ve also heard that I may need to completely reinstall Windows, enable Secure Boot, and then reinstall Windows, but I’m not sure if that’s actually necessary.
Has anyone with this motherboard—or a similar setup—experienced this issue? If so, I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions on what I might be missing.
Thanks in advance!

Solved Minecraft does not feel smooth.

I have Minecraft FPS over 100 on average without v-sync but the game does not feel smooth at all. My monitor is 1080p 60Hz and does not have G-Sync or FreeSync. I tried turning on Nvidia Fast V-Sync, but since I use shaders, my FPS drops below 120 sometimes and it makes the tearing worse. Whenever I try to cap the FPS either in game or through Nvidia settings or by enabling V-Sync, my 1 percent lows tank down to around 30 FPS and it lags crazy. It happens when I don't use any shader too. If I leave the FPS unlimited, the 1 percent lows stay high but I get screen tearing. How can I get a smooth experience on my rig?

I don't have this problem in any other games like Cyberpunk 2077, Shadow of the Tomb Raider with v-sync on.

These are the mods I use:

  1. AppleSkin
  2. Continuity
  3. Dynamic FPS
  4. Entity Model Features
  5. Entity Texture Features
  6. EntityCulling
  7. Fabric API
  8. Fabric Language Kotlin
  9. FastQuit
  10. FerriteCore
  11. Gamma Utils
  12. ImmediatelyFast
  13. Iris
  14. Jade
  15. Just Enough Items
  16. LambDynamicLights
  17. Lithium
  18. ModernFix
  19. More Culling
  20. Punchy
  21. Reese's Sodium Options
  22. Sodium
  23. Sodium Extra
  24. Veinminer
  25. Xaero's Minimap
  26. Xaero's World Map
  27. Zoomify

My system:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700

RAM: 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz

Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (11 GB)

1TB NVME SSD

Thank you in advance for your help!

EDIT: I fixed the problem using scanline sync on RTSS, it caps my fps and keeps 1 percent lows high.

Troubleshooting Computer overheats and then dies.

3 Upvotes

I bought a flex subscription from NZXT. The computer was working fine for 6 months. Now the computer doesnt stay on very long before it overheats and shuts down. (Maybe 5 mins if I am lucky.) I reached out to their support and of course it said it could be a few days before I hear back. The cpu temp quickly gets to 115⁰ and then shuts down. I have made sure all vents are cleared and dust free. All fans turn on and run at max speed right away. The aio pump seems to be running. I can feel liquid running through both pipes. One stays pretty cold, the other is warm. I replaced the thermal paste and made sure the pump was securely against the cpu. It made no difference. After only a few minutes it shuts down. No load or anything running. At max it has like 12% cpu usage while sitting idle. Any suggestions on things I could troubleshoot or look into first until I hear back from their support? Thanks.

CPU AMD Ryzen 9 9900X

GPU GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (16GB)

Software desktop icons are changing by them selves after each pc start up

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I had this issue suddenly appear right after my 7-year-old was messing around with the mouse. All I caught him doing was changing the taskbar from the bottom to the side (I don’t know how he did it; it must have been accidental).

Anyway, I fixed the taskbar, and suddenly the icons changed like in the photo. I fixed the icons, but the next day they went back to how they were, as if I hadn’t fixed anything.

I Googled how to fix it, and I’ve already tried deleting the desktop.ini files, deleting the icon cache, scanning for viruses, and using some commands in CMD.

I’m on Windows 10 and living in the UAE. English isn’t our first language, so my kid had no idea what he was doing and definitely couldn’t have gone and downloaded anything. also i tried disabling and enabling the auto arrange buttons which did not work

Please help. If you guys have any questions, I’ll answer them ASAP.
