I know Tesla 2.0 is EOL (only affordable card), I plan to upgrade to a 750w, and I’m waiting for prices to stabilize (which hopefully is quite soon, considering the new build’s main purpose) so I can...

My 240 is a 512 mb but has GDDR5.

It can run non-demanding stuff like LEGO and 2D games, but crashes and burns when it comes to demanding 3D like PCSX2 and OBS + gaming. Can’t run DX11. However,...

All updated to the latest W10 (19042.928). I don’t know if this should go in the BSOD section or here, as this involves the GPU (GeForce GT 240).

This has happened twice now, yesterday and today...

I have the Inspiron 3493, far from a gaming lappy... bought only June last year. I reinstalled Windows August, and haven’t performed a reinstall since then.

Searching for “DWM GPU high usage”...

Thank you for your response.

Still a bit weird this happens out of nowhere...

For some reason, starting recently, DWM has been spiking my iGPU usage (up to over 80% worst case scenario) and thus bogging down the PC. In addition to very slow performance in games, this creates a...

Thanks for the input all. My only concern is pricing as w10 home costs $129 for a retail key...

Hello there.
In a few months, I will begin my first PC Build (Ryzen 5 3600). Using this tutorial will I be able to use my Digital Activation from my Dell lappy (i5) to activate Windows on the new...

I’ve done that a lot of times, but I experience audio crackling when using the HDA drivers (this is the one dated 2020, the 2001 drivers don’t work at all)

Definitely a step back. I liked the enhancements and the Speakers and Headphones being rolled into one device.

Just reinstalled the Dell drivers, I’ll roll with these for the foreseeable future....

Since this is the case, I might as well live without audio enhancements

What is a UAD driver?

10 2004, build 19041.450.

I'm trying to install the generic Realtek Audio Drivers from their website, but Windows is constantly replacing them with the OEM's (Intel Smart Audio with separate...

Ah, yes, the Nvidia drivers! Completely overlooked that. GeForce Exprtience reports 442.23 so I shouldn’t have problems. Updating via Experience destroys Optimus support.

On 10 19041.388. All things updated.

The display blacks out for a second before returning back to normal. Not sure what's causing this.

I have an Nvidia Optimus-enabled laptop. Event viewer...

Thanks for the link, and tips.
Which monitoring software do you use? I’ll give it a go

I want to maximize battery life in my new Inspiron 3493 w/ 10 2004. “Primarily AC Use” profile only slows down the charging, but does not stop it entirely.

Should I use the Custom setting in the...

I decided to post this here in response to zbook’s PM.. Zbook you ran out of private messaging space

It... exhibited more issues than I was expecting. I couldn’t update Windows past 1903’s first...

Can chkdsk and Sfc /scannow also be run overnight?

I see now, thanks.

Bios has just been updated, now to do the rest. I’m now just waiting for midnight, as it may be a good time to run these.

I will try it later. Also, I didn’t know there was a new bios version until now, thanks for pointing that out! Hopefully this fixes my fn key.

I’m confused as to what these commands do:

I need an explanation to what this BSOD (log attached below) means (This link:...

It’s all in order! The issue seemed to have fixed itself (It Installed the drivers, I didn’t delete the files off the computer)

Thanks!

I have uninstalled the drivers, and the computer rebooted.

The screen flashed on and off a few times, before turning off all together.

EDIT: plugged it into an HDMI port on my TV and if flashed...

Are the intel hd graphics drivers downloadable through Windows Update?

Uninstall from Device Manager and reinstall, right? Will the default Microsoft GPU activate after the intel GPU is uninstalled?
