Another crash. But, this was from over heating. Are there any tweaks to handle this when Windows is in lid down. Sleep down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yaschir Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Chrome consumes a high CPU and therefore the processor that cannot be fully cooled may be overheating for various reasons (for example: The pores or airways of your PC's CPU cooler fan may be clogged or almost clogged). Check your PC's processor temperature and fan. If the situation is abnormal, replace your processor's thermal paste and clean the pores of the CPU fan. Also; usually most Windows services run in standby mode, which is why your PC's processor may be overheating. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any tweaks to handle this when Windows is in lid down. Sleep down? I was just going to tell you about that. If the machine shuts down suddenly, it's probably due to an overheating of the processor because of the dust that would have probably accumulated inside the radiator which prevents the processor from being cooled properly. you should look at cpu and CG temperatures through cpuz tool. If you notice high temperature, you should consider making a cleaning by disassembling the laptop to remove the dust. If you never disassemble a laptop before, it's better to call a professional to do that properly and not cause any damage to the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no update for my video card. So, this must be something else? How to tell what? EDIT: Atikmdag.sys and dxgkrnl.sys are listed EDIT2: I used DDU to uninstall the AMD driver and then used the AMD installer to reinstall. Now, wait and see.

TheEmpathicEar Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Quote I used DDU to uninstall the AMD driver and then used the AMD installer to reinstall. Now, wait and see. Installing driver/software directly from the AMD site has been working. But, now, I get a message from the software about a mismatch between the driver version and the software version? So, why was it working and complaining now? Immediately after the install of a new driver/software, the AMD software does not complain. It's only after so much time, the error message comes up.
