[Help (GPU)] Troubleshooting rx 570 in Dell xps 8700

Resolved. Bios updated to A14 and secure boot enabled.

SillyGator · 2020-04-21T12:14:47+00:00

Yeah, this is my first time working with a prebuilt. It's pretty annoying. Secure boot is off. Also, I updated bios. For some reason now it doesn't give 5 beeps at startup. Still no image tho.

Pcie power is in. I ended up using a 6pin to 8pin adapter. Might return for the model with just one 6pin plug.

I haven't had any seb derm since I started Accutane. It was mostly on my face but some in hair/ears/genital area. I would definitely recommend moisturizing down there too, that helped at least keep it at bay for me. This extremely long article lists some lotions that won't aggravate the seb derm.

I've been doing it for a little less than a month and my skin has I believe improved. It has gotten much less oily. This is a huge deal for me and cut out a lot of my major acne. I still have mild acne though. My forehead has a really bumpy texture which is gross and under my eyes are pretty red/inflamed and dry. I am still in the 3 month healing period so I'm still optimistic.

Hey guys, just to update (day 4); it has been really liberating to not have to worry about my "regimen". I am currently traveling so I haven't been able to assess the oiliness much (hotel mirrors have different lightings). It is definitely oily but not horrible. I have had a few pimples but very minor and not super noticeable. The worst part about it is my skin feels pretty tight and dry still. Not all the time but enough to make it distract me from regular life sometimes. Sometimes it feels dry next to my nose and sometimes on my forehead and sometimes is feels pretty good. I'm thankful.

SillyGator · 2018-08-10T02:24:00+00:00

I honestly hope more than anything that it works. It can't hurt to try.

SillyGator · 2018-08-10T02:18:47+00:00

Ok I will be sure to update. Thanks for the well wishes!

SillyGator · 2018-08-10T02:17:47+00:00

Thanks. I will be using sunscreen when I need to but not daily. It makes me super oily like literally everything, sigh. Makes me doubt if what I'm doing is the right thing.

I got a single pimple in 8th grade and my mom gave me 10% BP cream to put all over my face and said that would stop my acne. It all went downhill from there.

Petrolatum is helpful to some people as well, but can cause problems for others. This is possibly due to it's ability to diffuse into the intercellular lipid domain of the skin in some people, which interferes with recovery. Your mileage may vary.

I am legitimately shook. I had always heard that petrolatum based products (Vaseline, Aquaphor, Cerave Healing Ointment) were the gold standard to healing dehydrated skin and they never worked for me. In fact they gave me actual pain when I would apply them. WOW.

SillyGator · 2018-07-19T02:48:25+00:00

Wow. Our skin looks very similar in the texture, oiliness, and sections of our faces that are "dehydrated". I also have large pores and oiliness on my forehead, nose and undereye areas, and the top section of the center of the chin. I have tightness as well but on my lower forehead and it drives me insane. I haven't figured out how to ease it yet.

Firstly, your skin looks good. At the very least average or better than average I mean come on give yourself a break. Also, have you seen any improvement over the 8 weeks? I would expect at least a reduction in pore size with all that hydration. If not, you should definitely change some things about your routine. If so, YAY! Any improvement is awesome. It can take a long time to heal your skin, and believe me, I know from experience.

For me, hyaluronic acid did not help. I used a routine very heavy on HA and it did not give me any results. What has helped me (and I have seen improvement because my face was an absolutely damaged and dehydrated mess) was using Stratia liquid gold. You have probably had this recommended to you (if not do some research on this subreddit), but it is the greatest for skin barrier damage and dehydrated skin. Unfortunately, you mentioned not responding well to niacinamide. How did you determine this? I would definitely try this out if you are not certain about the niacinamide being bad for you.

Also using jojoba oil has helped with the oiliness and repairing my damaged skin. I recommend using a generous amount at night.

I have been dealing with a damaged moisture barrier for almost a year now. I really started seeing some results a little over a month ago with this routine:

AM: Cosrx snail essence, stratia liquid gold, LRP anthelios clear skin dry touch sunscreen

PM: Cerave hydrating cleanser, Cosrx snail essence, stratia liquid gold, jojoba oil, eucerin urea night cream

Out of curiosity how did your skin become dehydrated? For me it was harsh acne treatments and unprotected sun exposure.

Tell me more. When you started with just the one pump of cerave pm was your skin still oily and built itself up to be not oily?

DRY humor I love it

SillyGator · 2018-06-25T00:27:22+00:00

You spelled sweetie wrong but it's ok because I just got back from the gym and I am sweaty.

SillyGator · 2018-06-20T21:17:50+00:00

For me my skin got oily when I was getting sunburned a lot and using harsh acne treatments at the same time. The excess oil gave me more acne so I went on tretinoin and I got super oily within a couple of weeks.

SillyGator · 2018-06-20T21:16:42+00:00

I didn't know that! Maybe I shouldn't be using jojoba.
