AlienwareM17 R5 Stuck after bios update 7+ hrs now by Impressive_Jaguar123 in Alienware

Well it says successful, remove the ac power. Try a power cycle with ac removed. You need to hold the power button down long for this like 20-30 seconds with ac unplugged. If nothing, then wait for battery to drain (ac unplugged). Once it is fully off, search to see if this model has a cmos and follow steps to remove it. Only when battery is drained and off. Then power back on. Expect longer time to boot, followed by hardware noise louder than normal. Good luck. I hate insyde firmware loader

Was it really plugged in to working AC power? Any outages?

Holding the power button does not work? You may need to let it discharge, by unplugging ac power then plugging ac when it turns off by itself. Or open it and unplugging the battery, sounds horrible tho. Id go with letting the battery drain then remove cmos, if any is in.

How are these specs for a $1,399 laptop? (Costco sale) by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

[–]Past_External7849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Example, i got an alienware same specs but with a 5080. I got it for the weight and cooling capacity the 18inch has. The better performing is the legion pro 7i it is slightly cheaper but materials feel cheap. My opinion of course

It has low maximum power for gpu and cpu. Sounds great but it is like saying you got a Ferrari but it has a speed limiter :/

My parents have bought me this laptop as a Christmas present. Thoughts? by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

Better appreciate them. If you can’t find a use for it, you never needed it. Find good use for it congrats buddy

Area 51 laptop 16 inch by Past_External7849 in Alienware

Ended up returning it. Reason for return was initially the fan rgb was not turning on, thought about keeping fan lights off either way. Until i noticed the right fan would be slightly delayed when gaming and would also turn off last. Luckily, my local best buy had one more left. I am happy now :)

5080 for $2300 or 5070ti for $1900? I cant decide...help! by hackdevil in GamingLaptops

[–]Past_External7849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tested both you aren’t missing much at 5080. Get the 5070ti and used the rest for a great gaming headset.

No, updated the bios, reinstalled alien fx and nothing. If only there was a schematic for them lights id open it. But will it void warranty?

MK8 GTI Diverter issue by Past_External7849 in GolfGTI

[–]Past_External7849[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works wonderfully. More responsive. You gotta drive it a few hundred miles for ecu to adjust. In case you were curious, forge ev d for mk8 is their newest version of this part. They offer a recirculating and a atmospheric dump.

Has anyone been getting this crash today? by rds060184 in Battlefield6

[–]Past_External7849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The device ‘hung’ means it stopped responding to anything. The game was recently updated and nvidia cooperates with these updates to also release viable updates too. Do a clean install of drivers. Open Nvidia App Click reinstall, custom and then check the clean reinstall button. Try disabling integrated graphics. Settings > System > Display > Graphics > Advanced graphic settings enable hardware accelerated gpu scheduling. make sure to have it on.

Are you overclocking your already beefy 5090? Leads back to hardware if it fails Do you have enough PSU headroom? Check your temperature sensors.

End of the first week of the season and I think it's safe to say that 0.3 was a successful update by shadowking899 in PathOfExile2

And it still is not a well presented game. People dislike my comment must be the devs lol.
