    Question Dell G3 15 3500 BSOD when the laptop wakes up plus random crashes

    HWiNFO shows the temperature in a range of 93-100 degrees for the i7 processor. The laptop's fan (I don't know if it's the processor fan or the GPU fan) is very noisy at random times. Sometimes the excessive noise lasts for minutes and sometimes for hours.

    Question Dell G3 15 3500 BSOD when the laptop wakes up plus random crashes

    Hi, I used to have a problem with an overheating laptop that was repaired by Dell and some components were replaced. The laptop used to restart due to overheating. Dell sorted it out a few months ago, but the warranty expired in October. A few weeks ago, I updated Windows 10 to Windows 11 and...

    Question My PC cannot detect a Sapphire Radeon RX 570 Nitro Plus

    I updated the BIOS one month ago and I don't think there's any newer available. Mine is Asus 2907. I tried putting my graphic card into the other PCI-E slot, but the problem is the same.

    Question My PC cannot detect a Sapphire Radeon RX 570 Nitro Plus

    It has taken over one month to get a new graphic card and the problem is the same. The merchant refunded my money and I decided to buy a better graphic card that is an 8GB Sapphire Radeon RX 580 Nitro Plus. A brand new one and delivered from Amazon. To my shocking surprise, the problem is...

    Question My PC cannot detect a Sapphire Radeon RX 570 Nitro Plus

    Thank you. I've read your post, watched another video on Youtube, downloaded Winflash: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ati-atiflash/ and the vbios that I believe should be compatible with my GPU: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/193372/sapphire-rx570-4096-170317 but then I re-read your...

    Question My PC cannot detect a Sapphire Radeon RX 570 Nitro Plus

    I've reflashed the BIOS on the mainboard, as it does not take much time. The previous version was 2803 (released on 21/05/2015). The new is 2907 (released on 03/11/2016). It has not helped me.

    Question My PC cannot detect a Sapphire Radeon RX 570 Nitro Plus

    It says something totally ridiculous. Take a look: Name: Microsoft Basic Display Adapter (the same name like in the Device manager) that has specs characteristic for my Sapphire GPU and it ends up being the Sapphire after I click the "Lookup" button...

    Question My PC cannot detect a Sapphire Radeon RX 570 Nitro Plus

    Thank you for your replies. So, both connectors were connected during the installation process, I pulled out the 6-pin one afterwards as a test. There was not any error code while installing the GPU. There was no error code 43 in the device manager and the graphic card is brand new. I cannot...

    Extremely low FPS after changing a mainboard and a power supply

    Thank you very much for your help. It's all sorted now. It seems, the thermal paste was applied correctly, however, the cooler was a bit loose and did not hold well. I cleaned the CPU and the cooler and put some new paste on. Having noticed the cooler being loose, I watched a video on YT about...

    Extremely low FPS after changing a mainboard and a power supply

    I installed the Version 10.1.1.7&10.0.16.0 driver for my chipset. Then, I downloaded 378.66-desktop-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe file for my graphic card. Yes, it's a driver for a 64-bit Windows 8.1, as I don't have the 10. It was a big lol moment, as I thought that I had upgraded it...
