Hello all,
I recently bought a laptop with the following specs:
Currently running windows 10 2004 with the latest drivers from the support tab on the PCSpecialist site. Along with any updates that windows would give me.
For the most part it works wonderfully however, in certain games it experiences an issue upon launching the games graphics engine. i get about 2 seconds of video and audio before the video completely freezes and the audio begins to receive both garbage data and a loop of the final sound to go through it resulting in a buzzing sound. This state requires a full system reboot to escape.
Most games don't have this issue and i have checked my temps which all seem normal.
As an example in crusader kings 2 it happens immediately every time i get to the main menu.
In paradise killer it would happen rarely on loading a game but work perfectly after a reboot.
In fallout 4 the same as abovethough this only happens when the system is in turbo mode. The others happen regardless of mode.
Sherlock Holmes: crimes and punishments has it happen the second control is given to the player but only in turbo mode.
At first i thought it was a power issue but given games like Arma 3 run without any issue whatsoever i'm struggling to see how.
On the app i used to check my temps i watched the clock speed on my GPU increase just before the crash up to about 1900MHz but i assumed that was normal.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Update: Just experienced the symptom in fallout 4 in gaming mode although it seems to be a lot more rare. has only happened once. In turbo it happens every other time its started.
