If you aren't even seeing BIOS then either your screen has failed or your laptop is bricked. Not sure how that's possible just from creating a vhd or from a missing bootmgr. Did you do anything while troubleshooting that might have affected your BIOS chip?

At least we know that your dedicated GPU is being utilized. Did you by chance make sure that your laptop is plugged in and not using any power saving settings? I still think it would be useful for you to see the wattage, power, and frequency of your CPU and GPU while you are playing the game...

I think you answered your own question here. You undervolted, and then you started getting a variety of BSOD's. Your undervolt is probably too aggressive. Turn it off or scale it back and see if the BSOD's go away, then let us know. Cheers Figrin

I have to continue pushing back a little. CPU's will often never reach TMax because they're thermal throttling to prevent temperatures from getting that high. So even though components aren't being damaged by heat, the performance impact affects user experience in a real way. ...in fact, the...

unclewebb (who created throttlestop, I believe) has stated that SystemAgent needs to match the iGPU's undervolt in order to actually undervolt the integrated graphics. As for your PL1 limit on startup, I don't think that's an issue unless that power limit is much lower than what your processor...

Ehhh... undervolting is a pretty tried and true way of increasing performance. Processors receive too much "juice" from the factory and it impacts performance negatively. I agree though, OP, that since it sounds like this is one of the last major tweaks you did before experiencing the problem...

Can you get into the BIOS? and/or have you tried booting in Safe Mode yet?

What are the other games you've noticed crashing?

Hey all, First time post here, long time lurker. I decided I need some real brain power for this mystery... tl;dr - Blade Stealth had the motherboard replaced, is now freezing whenever it's unplugged from the AC adapter. The long version: Due to some bad luck with a BIOS update, I bricked my...
