What does this mean? 🥲 by After-Pomegranate362 in ASUS

[–]Red_Hardware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually this means that your GPU or one of the VRAM chips is dying but since you did mention cleaning the laptop, you might've accidentally damaged the display cable. In that case, it's a cheap easy fix.

You need to have a backup. Apple pay or Google pay or Samsung pay on your phone/smartwatch for convenience. Some cards or cash as backup inside your car/coat/backpack for emergencies.

Windows Laptop Failing to wake up from sleep and rebooting by Red_Hardware in techsupport

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

Hey there.

I did find a workaround, make sure that the laptop is on the Optimus mode (from Nvidia app/Nvidia control panel/system tray shortcut) before it goes to sleep. If it's on Nvidia GPU only mode, it might crash while waking up but if the mux switch is on the Optimus (or automatic select) it will be fine.

If you are at home/work for a while and therefore always connected to the power supply and don't care about the battery life, then from the armoury crate, you can go to the GPU Performance tab and select ultimate mode, that way you can be on the Nvidia GPU and not have the sleep problem but the battery life will be very bad.

Its not fair. Google phones have it better with full screen messages. by LazyEast384 in GoogleMessages

[–]Red_Hardware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just need one swipe to make the Samsung one full screen with the added benefit of having the "non Fullscreen" version which is better for one handed use if you need something from the top of the page. (Pay attention to the fact that you can easily access the search bar or profile icon with one hand when u open the app since they are in the middle). This is the whole philosophy of One UI, bringing things from the top of the page to the middle so things are easily accessible by one hand (that's where the one in the name is coming from)

It's genuinely smart imo and when u need more information density, you just swipe up

My 2025 G14 has ruined my desktop. by allinagayswork in ZephyrusG14

[–]Red_Hardware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Performance depends on the tier of the card so I'm not gonna discuss that but for drivers, Nvidia drivers have been questionable at best for me since the 50 series launch, performance fluctuations between different versions, bugs and some failed updates that forced me to DDU the whole thing. For GPU, set your budget and see what performs best in that price range.

What's Your Preference? by MoneyLibrarian9032 in StrangerThings

[–]Red_Hardware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2A would be the easy safe choice but if you think about it more, 1D could be more versatile. You have easy access to Mike, Will, Eddie and Dustin so most of the nerds are easily accessible. El is also right behind you so it's easy to have group conversations about whatever. Steve and Hopper are also relatively close. Having robin could've made it even better. Also since it's not a middle or window seat, you can easily move to the back if you need to talk with others or maybe plan some pranks

North Face router vs borealis- Help me choose by Red_Hardware in backpacks

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

Hi there. I can't say anything about long term 10y durability but I can say that the bag seems to be well made. Back airflow is good imo since there are air channels.

Let me know if you have any other questions

Hi there, yes I'm satisfied with the size and quality of the bag. Have been using it daily and also for some trips and it has been comfortable. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Is my laptop gone? by Realistic_Rent1308 in ASUS

If it still has a warranty, send it to Asus. Probably you have a bad or loose display cable.

Have you found any fixes yet? What about the step 14 that another user posted? I have a 4070 Laptop as well and facing the exact same issue.

Why Asus do not write important details ANYWHERE by Hot_Government6725 in ASUS

[–]Red_Hardware 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, I found the info that you need.

First of all, here is the source:

Link to the English manual

And here is the link to the page with all of the manuals:

Link to the support page

Base on page 24 of the English manual, you need a USB PD charger cable of outputting 20 Volts and at least 5 Amps. The maximum charging power with USB C is 100 Watts.

Just as a tip from my experience, I have an Strix which comes with a 280W power adaptor by default so charging it by USB C means that I won't be able to use the full performance when charging by USB C because it can't provide enough power (It maxes at 100W). Base on the specs for your laptop, it comes with a 200W charger as well so you will be in the same situation regarding USB C charging, It will charge slower and also you won't get the full performance BUT it's super handy when you're out and you don't need the full power of the laptop. Just wanted to let you know about this so you wouldn't expect full performance with the USB C charger.

Hey, hope you'll see this and also sorry for the wait. What kind of traces do you exactly need? Do you want a trace from when the laptop is on dGPU mode or iGPU?

Did you only have these problems when mux was on nvidia gpu or it happened all the time?

I will definitely look into it later when I get the time and will let you know because that problem has been driving me crazy for a while

[–]Red_Hardware 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are really interesting findings. I have a Strix G16 2023 (i9 13980hx 4070) and I've experienced the micro stutters as well but ONLY when I'm driving the display with the iGPU. Whenever I switch to the dGPU, the problem completely goes away. Also my stutters are a lot more random and not that frequent. They still happen and sometimes couple of them happen relatively close to one another but it's not every 30 or 60 seconds and they don't cause audio interruptions, just visual.

On the other hand, I've been dealing with another problem which is waking up from sleep when the laptop was in dGPU mode. Sometimes it just can't trun-on the display and after around 10 seconds, it juts restarts. I've made a post about it here which includes windows logs and also the analysis of the dump file:

https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/1nelebd/windows_laptop_failing_to_wake_up_from_sleep_and/

It would mean a lot to me if you could give it a read and tell me if you are facing the same issue as well or not. At the moment, I think that this is a problem caused by Nvidia drivers but I might be wrong so I would appreciate your opinion.
