I’m investigating this further with the recurrent WHEA-Logger Event 17 / PCIe AER events on a Dell Pro Max 16 Plus MB16250 with Core Ultra 9 285HX. They occur during early Windows boot across multiple unrelated PCIe endpoints: Intel BE200 Wi-Fi, NVMe SSD and NVIDIA GPU. Raw WHEA/CPER records show the same AER signature: UncorrectableErrorStatus = 0x100000 = Unsupported Request CorrectableErrorStatus = 0xa000 = Advisory Non-Fatal + Header Log Overflow Captured TLP headers decode as PCIe Configuration Read Type 0 requests, apparently probing absent functions/BDFs during early PCI enumeration. Some requests occur only microseconds apart. Linux PCI enumeration source: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/pci/probe.c Linux PCIe AER documentation: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/PCI/pcieaer-howto.html Intel Arrow Lake Series 2 specification update / errata: https://edc.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design/products/platforms/details/arrow-lake-s/core-ultra-200s-series-processors-specification-update/errata-details/ Relevant Intel erratum: ARL068 — PCIe Gen5 Link Exit from L1 Sub-state Low Power State. It specifically mentions short back-to-back PCIe configuration-space accesses as one trigger condition. Dell also has an official article stating that boot-time WHEA-Logger ID17 is “expected behavior as per Intel” on certain earlier Intel HX systems. Note that Dell’s listed affected systems are 12th-gen/HX platforms, not the MB16250/285HX, so it does not by itself prove this newer system is expected to behave the same way: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-uk/000216115/laptops-with-12th-gen-and-12th-gen-hx-intel-core-processors-may-display-warning-message-whea-loggerid17 WHEA-17 itself is quite generic, and I think the associated symptoms may be more significant than the event alone. In my case, I’ve seen intermittent freezing and occasional mouse slowdowns. Dell support has also told me that some users experience BSODs or system crashes. What I’m really looking for here is other people’s ideas, observations and possible avenues to investigate

Yeah, crazy. Essentially the functional equivalent of a 222% slider for power limit. Check the 3DMark links showing the GPU clock and average GPU clock values. (They are almost the same value versus the scenario where average clock is typically considerably lower.) It holds clocks much better. Voltage and power limits were tweaked significantly. mVolt+ - Tuning Overview Profile: OC2 01:39 Driver: 616.64 VBIOS: 98.03.3b.40.27 CLOCKS Core: +350 MHz Memory: +3000 MHz XBAR: +350 MHz SYS: +350 MHz Video: +250 MHz POWER Power limit: 800 W (222%) NVVDD OCP: 5001 A MSVDD OCP: 120 A Voltage Boost: 100% RAIL OFFSETS NVVDD VMIN: 0 mV NVVDD REL: +140 mV NVVDD ALT/OP: +140 mV NVVDD OV: 0 mV MSVDD VMIN: 0 mV MSVDD REL: +60 mV MSVDD ALT/OP: +60 mV MSVDD OV: 0 mV VOLTAGE NVVDD limits: 800–1200 mV MSVDD limits: 800–1120 mV Core voltage offset: +5 mV XBAR voltage offset: +5 mV SYS voltage offset: +5 mV Video voltage offset: +5 mV OTHER NVVDD/MSVDD ratio: 0.90 Clock range: 0–3600 MHz Boost Lock: Off Fan: Auto V/F curve: 0 / 127 points

Holy crap..... 825w through a 5080?! Sheesh.

I've applied an 800W power limit to the 5080 using mvolt+ Extreme. Works great. WireView Pro 2 showed a max of 825W coursing through its veins. https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_steel_nomad_dx12/submissions/6074856 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/164088570 https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_speed_way/submissions/6074814 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/164083593 https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_port_royal/submissions/6074816 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/164083791 https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_time_spy/submissions/6074821 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/164084556 https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_time_spy_extreme/submissions/6074828 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/164084873 https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_sky_diver/submissions/6074861 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/164089114 https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark11_-_performance/submissions/6074851 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/17000869

From your description I'm gonna guess your a windows user? Event viewer is your friend.... a useful tool. https://www.pcmag.com/news/how-to-troubleshoot-problems-in-windows-via-event-viewer

Here's the v100 https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/209889/nvidia-teslav100-32768-180223 P100 https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/283159/283159 The 5005mhz issue was because I was looking at my Titan X bios because I named it similarly It's showing 0mhz for p100 mem I still can't edit core clocks on either p100 or v100 though

F.ed......

Hello, Sorry I am a bit busy with stuff that is not CPR lately. Can you send me your vbios ? I can have a look in the program + with HEX editor to understand what is going on.

So I was experimenting with vbios on tech power up and my boss has some 32gb V100's so I loaded up their bios and I noticed the core clocks as seen by CPR are half while the memory clock is correct On the 16gb P100 core clocks are correct but memclock is represented as 5005Mhz while it's supposed to be 715, 715x7=5005 I won't have my p100 until monday I hope this helps

Longevity and reliability of P775TM1 are second to none for laptops. I doubt that any current laptops do match that because of bad thermals and motherboard design. Besides, buying a new laptop with 32+GB DDR5 would be pretty expensive, so upgrading the old one with 64+GB DDR4 does make sense financially.

mvolt+ Extreme works nice. The highest power limit I could find for a 5080 vBIOS was 450W. I used it to unlock the power limit. Set it to 600W and applied my previous mvolt+ overclock profile and the WireView Pro 2 showed it pegged above 600W throughout the entire Steel Nomad run and instantly beat my previous best score by about 180 3DMarks with no change in core or memory clocks. It was definitely crippled by power limit. Now I will have to play around with higher power limits above 600W, additional voltage, XBAR, Sys and core clocks to see what it can do with no power limits crushing the GPU's gonads. https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_steel_nomad_dx12/submissions/6074610 https://www.3dmark.com/compare/sn/15702068/sn/16244399#

Everyone knows that; the point here isn't just about having a new and better PC. Modifying these old machines is a passion. In today's devices, everything is soldered onto the motherboard. It’s like the passion for a classic car sitting in the garage.

Muse - Supermassive Black Hole Because - it randomly came up in my feedtube and I had to try it. the music video is trippy!

Gonna need a bit more than that! What does it look like when it crashes? Crash to desktop? Any errors come up? What system you using? OS? Driver versions? Etc etc

Hello, Do you think it's possible to convert the 15 r3 into an 17r4 chassis? Got a 15 r3 that needs a new keyboard and palmrest but If I can find the parts I was tempted to convert it into an R4.. Let me know!

Hello everyone, I bought a slightly better edition of the game to play it early, however, it won't let me play. It crashes on launch and im at my wit's end here. Do you guys know of any fixes?

I got the fan in and unfortunately it will not fit the m18xr2. If you hear of any more mods let me know and I will do the same.

Yes unfortunately🥹 I would say yes, as i'm using thermal pads with different thickness so everybody can access the plate. Could be if being honest, but the general state of the card was and is good actually, but yeah GPU are not like RAM for examples that lives forever ahah Still on test to understand the issue, will try tomorow

Of course.

true! but how tho? i would need the mobo at the same time i think

Its showing around 120W max in HWinfo after running around doing various things. Of that I think being in a group running vault farming has been the most taxing so far this season. Of course its probably hitting 55W TDP on the CPU, so in full performance mode GPU utilization should go higher. Sometimes on these 90F+ ambient temp days I also ran it at 5/10 with framerate capped at 60 just simply to keep the palm rest from warming up too much. We dont have AC in the lounge room at work. Smaller and lighter is nice for travel. The Clevo PE60 I still own is a great example of that and probably the reason I have not bothered selling it yet. In most cases it was actually a better WoW machine than the Arrow Lake Hydroc G2 as well, just simply because it gets significantly better memory latency with the 14900HX on die memory controller. I have considered just selling the others and just using the PE60 because it works pretty close to the same level for WoW as I use the Raider A18.

Idling, no. The fan stays off. When it's working, the fan runs as expected.

i too saw posts here talking about that cicichen-cooler heatsink and man.... the money- value ratio is top..... to be honest more money u spent on the notebook less ull get if u sell it. my clevo p870km with rtx 3080 + 32gb ram + i7 9700k is woth less then 1000€... considering i payd 850€for the vga and for a cooler people asked like 400-600€ .... dont waste much money on this old laptops.... newer one are double the performanche with newer cpus... for example one i7 14 series is like 3 or more time powerfull then 9700k.... and consume max 65 watt... also a 5070ti mobile is 30% faster then 3080 mobile.... u can get a 14 gen cpu with 5070ti second hand for 1000 -1200€max...

I found P5000 for ~198USD, the seller has posted GPU-Z and dxdiag screenshots that look very legit and iam considering it, does it run very hot? i would rather have slightly slower but cooler laptop, i will propably buy it, test it and return it if its has a defect or something (Allegro gives you 48hrs to do so)

Glad you got it sorted out! Windows updates can be pretty mysterious sometimes, especially when there’s no clear indication which change actually fixed the problem. At least it’s good to know the issue was software-related and not a hardware fault.
