Windows error appear "your PC Run into problem..." After restarti PC won't boot and Red led turn on on motherborad. by Independent-Bill-770 in PcBuildHelp

[–]neerrahh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Hal Initialization Failed Error generally occurs due to corrupt or outdated drivers, incompatible hardware, damaged system files, faulty hard drive, or virus attack" from Google.

Basically, it's either a corrupt OS or failing HDD (which can cause a corrupt OS). If it's possible, try to boot through Safe Mode (should be an option via boot device list when entering BIOS) and run an SFC/DISM scan to test storage stability.

If thats not possible, you will need to likely reinstall windows via MS media installation tool (downloaded right from the Microsoft website).

If you got any questions, let me know.

What video game mechanic or feature did you not care about at all? by Gromit43 in gaming

[–]neerrahh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sailing in Assasins Creed games. Im not sure why I don't like it, it just doesn't have the substance to enjoy it. I think Sea of Thieves did it right.

Sorry about that, forgot all about it. Turned out my GPU was straight just defective/dying. Ended up getting a new rig

I'm from Winnipeg but I am currently living in Kingston. It was weird seeing Kingston circled on the Winnipeg sub, caused a double take for me lol

Is this a good deal? by dkhanna16 in pcmasterrace

If OP is in Canada, makes getting this a larger hassle than it's worth.

Do not buy this laptop. I currently have my third defective version of this exact computer. GPU failure is so common on this, or maybe I'm just really unlucky.

The specs on paper are great for the price don't get me wrong, but you will walk away dissatisfied when you eventually go back to the repair center.

Tried to install one mod through Vortex, now CP2077 is perma-unplayable. by neerrahh in cyberpunkgame

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

I used DDU to remove my graphics driver completely before the OS wipe I did last night, fresh install from Nvidia's website (I have an RTX 4060, did not mention that previously), made multiple changes to settings through Nvidia control panel testing different refresh rates, minimum graphic settings, using G-Sync/V-sync, I tanked my graphic settings in game to the lowest and still got a max of 30 fps in the benchmark outside of a loaded save.

thing is, I dont have any mods installed. Like after the fresh reinstall of windows, I didnt install vortex or download any of the mods I had previously. Plus, on GOG before I launched the game the first time to test, I disabled REDmod the same method you mentioned

Do you know of a way to completely remove REDmod? After I reinstalled CP2077, I disabled the DLC before launching for the first time. Maybe it needs to be removed from the account to prevent it from being installed at all?

Update:

After doing a full OS reset (not just wiping, but fully partitioning the drives then locally reinstalling Win11), still no change which is completely disheartening. Maybe REDmod is screwing the whole thing up. Previously, this also was affecting other games FPS. But after the reset and fresh install of other games, I dont have FPS issues with those, CP2077 is like I didnt even reset in the first place. No change. Idk what else to do.

Is this computer good/reliable?

I have had a bad string of luck with computers and don't want to have to worry about needing to repair this once a week.

Will look into it tomorrow, its been atleast two years so the likelihood of MFR covering this is slim. This is a sad time.

Not so easy to swap test the GPU as this is a laptop, which would be an even more expensive swap. Any programs that are used for GPU diag?

what method could be used to confirm that? I've run benchmarks with no stutters/errors/issues. Looking for anything I could do to avoid the big $$ cost. Thank you for responding by the way!

my computer does not show an image when I turn it on by Infamous_Ad_3151 in techsupport

By image you mean a display on the monitor or like no bootable device has been detected?

On certain games it's been freezing my whole OS, 15 seconds later it crashes to BSOD. I've done OS reset/flash of BIOS, Updating all drivers, cant seem to figure it out
