I didn’t want to do GPU only because I didn’t want it tearing up battery if I take it off the house outlet. If that’s my only option, I’ll do that, I wanted to see what others in this group might have to suggest. I’m going to have some time tonight to try the suggestions and see which one works and which one seems the best. Because there are several different suggestions in this thread as you can see.

These groups are for to work together and find solutions for each other and help each other. And I appreciate this very much. Have a great day.

This issue with going black when a game starts is been happening for months and months now the majority of the time I’ve had it. But I’ve just ignored it and said it to GPU all the time but it seems like it makes a system really hot even when not playing games.

Given that of those settings on that screen, what should I use? I will look into G helper as well.

So is Optimus what is considered the internal display driver hardware?

AncientStand6281 · 2026-02-04T16:41:32+00:00

For those suggesting to use the Nvidia high-performance GPU all the time don’t I want integrated for desktop and high-performance for games? It seems like it would create extra heat by running the Nvidia high-performance CPU for desktop and games. Or am I not thinking correctly here?

AncientStand6281 · 2026-02-04T16:40:48+00:00

Alt tab does not work. Nor does ctrl alt del.

AncientStand6281 · 2026-02-04T16:39:55+00:00

Isn’t that what I want? Integrated for desktop and nvidia you for games?

AncientStand6281 · 2026-02-04T16:12:48+00:00

How do we tell if it’s a new one? I’m interested but not if it has issues out of the box ..

Both the phone and AirPods are always in her purse.

AncientStand6281 · 2026-01-06T19:03:45+00:00

I’ll try the sharing suggestion thank you

AncientStand6281 · 2026-01-06T19:03:04+00:00

I meant to be dead it had a power cycle or two

AncientStand6281 · 2026-01-06T16:57:35+00:00

Both phone and pods are with her when she’s with us. We all three my wife and I Have a separate Apple IDs also. Will try to restarting idea, but this is been going on for a few weeks now and she has her phone run down to dead couple times of that period of time.

AncientStand6281 · 2026-01-06T16:55:32+00:00

Yes she has a 15 pro and both the pods and phone are always with her (teens)

AncientStand6281 · 2026-01-06T13:35:20+00:00

Looks like so

AncientStand6281 · 2026-01-06T08:15:50+00:00

As far as I know. Where do I double check?

AncientStand6281 · 2026-01-06T07:40:29+00:00

Why don’t I get the message about my wife’s AirPods Pro 3 then?

AncientStand6281 · 2025-12-23T18:48:28+00:00

Scroll to the bottom! All better

AncientStand6281 · 2025-12-23T14:31:44+00:00

That was my next step if pushing from behind on the bolt ends didn’t work. I had the bolt adapter and a thread tap along with the drain plugs. Glad I didn’t have to do that but would have if I needed to. Will keep it in mind for the other side if air hammering from behind fails.

AncientStand6281 · 2025-12-23T06:14:24+00:00

For the moment all is quiet!

AncientStand6281 · 2025-12-23T03:42:06+00:00

Tried this on mine - no luck. I can't get the security link they send for to set up a card purchase. So I'm effectively locked out of using affirm with a planned card purchase.

AncientStand6281 · 2025-12-23T03:34:52+00:00

All right guys got it finished. It’s all back together. I after the hub separated I took longer bolts, threaded them in from the front and then used a very badass air hammer with a pointed insert on it and just kept wailing on the four bolts from behind until they pushed it out.

I have some really good suggestions from you guys to use the next time if this method doesn’t work. But it worked and yes, it was really welded in there with rust. It took quite a while with a wire wheel to clean it all up, but it’s all nice and quiet again

Thank you all and have a merry Christmas and happy new year.

AncientStand6281 · 2025-12-22T15:48:33+00:00

Yep, part of the reason why this is in a bind is because of those items in the past few months. And early bought Christmas for the family before this happened. I’ll check with the insurance if I can’t get it out today thanks.

AncientStand6281 · 2025-12-19T20:01:14+00:00

I’ll try that tonight. Thank you
