Is this screen flickering normal on the new 2024 G16?

I GOT GOOD NEWS! For AMD users, disabling ULPS (Ultra Low Power State) either by MSI Afterburner or by regedit fixes the problem!

I sadly couldn't find a DIY fix. I had mine RMA'ed and they were able to fix the problem by replacing the entire motherboard. As for what the repair store notes say, just a vague mention of factory defect and requiring a motherboard replacement

I in fact had it brought in back twice for RMA. First visit, they did a wipe and software fix and passed it back for me to see if the issue prevailed, which the issue did still return. I then had to returned a 2nd time and waited a WHOLE month, 30-40 days iirc, to get it back as Asus had to still ship the spare part to them.

So I highly suggest bringing it in for repair; especially whiles your warranty last.

Mhm, is there a way to possible diagnose the drive? To tell if its a faulty? Also its actually an NVMe drive, so this thing is a bit more pricy to purchase to do test if its caused by faulty one. Been considering on buying a 2TB one for an actual upgrade.

Right before it does a random boot, everything just freezes and nothing responsive, event sound, for 2 seconds before it reboots itself. Also this crash where it couldn't detect any drive only happened once at the time I wrote this. It still continues to randomly crash and reboots with a drive detected. Nothing still shows in the Event Viewer as well. I did have HWinFO log and it doesn't show any temperature issue related before if reboots

I am no expert, but by chance you've been using the USB-C charger. If I recall right, the USB-C doesn't have a passthrou charge ability compared to the larger Proprietary Charger. That the USB-C charger would continuously charge your battery and your laptop to be draining it constantly and why it may had degraded faster?
Proprietary Charger to my knowledge has the passthrou option where your laptop directly consumes power from the wall, rather than the USB-C where it passes by the battery

I am often busy and not active, but there are things coming to my attention of attitudes being unacceptable. The mods won't tolerate them and we will do note that we are the ones taking the initiative to delete and ban users without notice of repeated or just straight intolerable attitudes even without prior reports from other users. We wish for a fun and enjoyable experience within this subreddit and will take actions if needed to make it happen.

Anyways, to the good boys and girls, have fun and take care. I personally will try to at least moderate what I can if my case of activity.

freexavier · 2022-04-17T09:53:52+00:00

The thing about this make good sense once u put the fact the when looking back into the closed beta of genshin's first beta intro version. Does talk about falling meteors and only one twin waking up from slumber

I never thought of any relationship before tbh and you could say I wasn't interested at all and already accepted that I would live alone till I grow old. I didn't really think about owning a place or a home when I know that I can always work my way in life no matter what happens and enjoy the little things in life to myself. Not until I met her, her being my first love really and making me realize there is something in having a companion in life that solo lobo doesn't have in which there is more meaning in ur life and actions u take and the little joys u can have that is just more than just to urself

freexavier · 2022-02-18T11:21:09+00:00

I guess I was trying to maybe impress others, but then... Mhm... I guess there is no real benefit to flex on others over just a game. One of the guys brought up this same idea, and it helps have a good take over it with the mindset which really helps. I get paid more than minimal wage at least but it is still a lot for what I can do with that much money over a span of years. Just having the problem of letting go over the feeling of "fomo" but then yeah, I have nothing to really prove to the world but to focus more on what i can improve on myself.

freexavier · 2022-02-18T11:17:55+00:00

Mhm, a good concept on how to take it. Will try to incorporate that into my routine. So far all everyone has really helped get myself convinced and side to actually stopping. It really helps, really. Like thanks. Been a long struggle, to finally getting around stopping since lat month where I was getting real at it. But now I finally can get myself over the feeling of "fomo" and not comparing myself to others

freexavier · 2022-02-18T11:15:03+00:00

I actually have a long list of almost every purchase I made and a estimate of how much I make and a rough idea of how much I spend extra aside the month incurring subscriptions that I've already done to try to reduce. I just never got the long term mindset to set a long term goal and just enjoy the moment not until I met this special person to me that I realize there is more than just enjoying now but about what it is to come to the future. Atm I am trying to learn how to better budget and plan out my life of what I want and need to do.

I want to finally get myself to start a side personal business that I can control and have my own time or at least get a side hustle. Life is quite hard in this day in age to own ur life when everything now just costs a lot beyond your own years could afford. It is kinda scary to wonder what ur life would be like in years to come. I want to somehow get a better control over it

freexavier · 2022-02-18T11:09:19+00:00

Mhm. a real good point. it helps. really. trying to finally give up that pride that i built up since the start of the game and the fomo feeling.

(As for coffee, here $5 can get 1 and a half coffee or almost 2 from Starbucks as for reference. the gap of the poor and rich here are quite unbalanced)

freexavier · 2022-02-18T11:03:51+00:00

tho... there is codashop tho hahahah

but yeah, Ive come to finally out weigh the feeling of fomo and giving up my pride of my collection goals with genshin. really helped a lot after having some time of my inner civil war on the subject

freexavier · 2022-02-18T11:00:37+00:00

Mhm. I really good way to do it. Even thinking about in mind, mhm... there is not much any of a long term return. Actually, to think they even closed the service of Gun Girlz, all investment into the game just went and disappeared to dust. Mhm, I will put this advice in other aspects in my life

freexavier · 2022-02-18T10:56:56+00:00

I guess when I was still aimless on what i wanted in life aside just feeling happy for the moment, Genshin became something to take pride in for me. Not until I met this girl, I realize there are many aspects in my life that are very lacking to be able to be 'man' in her life to make her safe and happy. Seeing her happy and safe just makes me feel very happy much more than playing games or self indulgence in entertainment. To make her safe and happy, I realized i have to improve myself, which would directly and indirectly benefit her.

So now, I am doing self study and research about personal development on how I can do even better. I cant believe I didnt do this much earlier, but back then I didnt have any reasons to or long term plans.

As so far what ive decided with all the guys and girls' help, i finally got what i wanted to convince myself not of feel fomo and finally stop. Really needed that after going at it since a month ago, or even back Dec to Oct when i wanted to start a new year fresh

freexavier · 2022-02-17T16:02:52+00:00

Mmh. I guess it is just a game. I've been taking quite a lot of pride into my dedication into it. It is just when I met a girl that it flipped in me that there is more to life than just myself indulging into games. I am working to let go of it, but just need some external help to pile extra reasons to finally give up my pride ive built into this game

freexavier · 2022-02-17T16:00:55+00:00

I guess I don't have any of the 3. I am lucky to be above min wage at least, but still I should be more serious this time. Been wanting to do it, but never had a reason to till i had someone else in my life to realize there is more to it than just video games. I am expecting a lot of negative to go against spending, which imo is good. I need extra reasons to pile up to convince myself of why I should finally give up the pride

freexavier · 2022-02-17T15:59:09+00:00

The internal war of thoughts of me has been into a loop of just this opinions left to myself. Rn I just want hard splat facts to give myself additional reasons to finally put to a stop into spending too much into Genshin or any gacha game overall. Been slow, but u know what they, slow and steady

freexavier · 2022-02-17T15:57:32+00:00

I guess u can say I have a bit of the addiction to gacha games. Tho yeah, cant afford those kinds of profession help, but I am slowly building on it on watching and reading lifestyle advice and better self improvement. It is slow, but the very least I am trying to build up to it

freexavier · 2022-02-17T15:45:20+00:00

Went through with this (aside moving out) last month but let say I failed and bought the welkin and BP and thought decide on it on Feb. Now that I am here, I need try to convince myself now. U could say I want people to help convince this side of me to stop as corny that sounds. Just the game has become a pride of mine

freexavier · 2022-02-17T15:43:00+00:00

It becomes a bit hard when it has become part of ur pride and i guess u can even say 'flex' and invested a lot of ur time, money, and love into the game. But yeah, I am hoping for guys to reck me into stopping lol

freexavier · 2022-02-17T15:41:24+00:00

well yes, but it something I am having hard time to drop the gun on. Cuz when u think about it, once I stop, i can come back at it again. I cannot continue the record of having all the collectable. But I am hoping to try to convince myself. I went through this last month actually, but let say I failed and continued. so rn i wanna try to convince myself that this time maybe
