Can I do the repair option on windows install?

Can anyone help me my sound is not working anymore, I recently bought a new gaming headset I think it is some sort of driver conflict. I have tried the following: Troubleshooting results in "Audio services not responding not fixed" - I have gone to services.msc and stopped, started and...

I don't remember it always being on 4.2 before that's all. If this is normal I will leave as is, just wanted to check its not stuck in a state of permanent boosting which will degrade the life of it ?

It's still hovering around 4.2Ghz, maybe it is something to do with the settings on Control Center? Should it not be boosting to 4.2 for a few minutes before dropping down to around 3.5? On the CPU VR limit what should this be ? Currently set at 1 I've turned of prefer maximum performance on...

I think I found the problem it was on "minimum processor state 100%" I tried reinstalling Control Center with that link, still no pink bar showing, but I guess that is just visual anyway as long as it is showing the number I can see what's going on.

I redid the thermal paste, there was a ton of dust not on the fans, but in the vents blocking it which probably explains the high temperatures and throttling. It was a problem warzone couldn't even run properly at all. It all works fine now and I've never seen the temperatures this low. When I...

How long should I do the Intel ETU stress test for?

Thanks so much for your detailed reply I will go through all this in depth. I already ordered just some cotton wool and isopropyl alcohol. Will this be enough if I get all the paste off then give it a clean with a fresh bud ? For the cooling pad I may get one of these for gaming. I have been...

Thanks I will order the stuff in now and give it a go and let you know the results

Is there a guide on how to do it for my laptop Octane VI? How many grams do I need? Is Thermal Grizzly the ultimate best one I can buy ?

Cleaned the vents below the fans yesterday, and cleaned the fan blades. How long does it normally take if I send in for a repaste/service?

Screenshot 3 - I realised you can't see the numbers afterwards. The HW Monitor was in game. This is a new screenshot ingame of Warzone - also added the CPU usage and power limit

Screenshot 1 showing what happens when warzone is open and running. Screenshot 2 showing what happens when Day Z is running, which seems to work fine.

I sent it in in August 2019 for a repair, I think they would have changed the thermal paste then because to open it up the paste has to be disconnected. Are you suggested thermal paste change or some other service to check everything is working on the software?

This is what happens when I am in a game on Warzone. Stuck on 300, and temp on CPU is very hot, could it be throttling both of them?

Power is plugged in. the symbol shows the plug icon on top of the battery icon.

Attached I am not sure if related but I installed windows 11 a few weeks ago and had some problems with the control center windows 10 version working. The support people gave me one to install which seems to work now but it was having problems too kept exiting on it's own when i opened it...

Hi, I am having some issues with my graphics card, when I play warzone, I can see in control center the blue bar for the graphics card is stuck on 300, and this makes the game unplayable with low frame rate and lag. I've updated the GeForce Experience Drivers Checked for windows update...

But when I opened my laptop last time to look at a USB port inside I pulled the fans up and the thermal paste disconnected. I can't remember if the keyboard was accessible or not I need someone who has taken this specific model apart before to confirm if I can replace the keyboard or not without...
