What a failure. Band aid fix for something that should be fixed by nvidia before they release new gen graphics cards. And Nvidia.... Nothing is wrong🙄 I expect next gen graphics cards will get same/similar band aid fix. Warning (beeps from a buzzer on the gpu), then shutdown a couple of minutes after). The tiny connector will introduce more expensive graphics cards. We already see it with the Astral and the per pin monitoring feature. Come on.... Make a connector that just works. No more band aid fixes. Introducing GPU Safeguard+: Advanced GPU Protection on MSI Next-Gen Power Supplies

Happened to me. Did you play any audio when the lockup occurred?

It's of great reference value! Thank you for sharing!

THANKS a lot. You were the only hope because they've been ignoring me and Maro for months... We can flash the VBIOS finally!! They both have the same GPUID so it'll work hopefully.

Hi. I've finally been able to pay the private importer. It seems my credit limit was not enough, and no matter how many times I tried, the payment wouldn't go through. Now the question is whether the importer will be able to purchase the product. If they are, the ZRT RTX4090 should arrive sometime between the end of this month and the beginning of next month. I'll post again once I've purchased the product.

Actually there are also these vbioses : But you need a SPI 1.8V flasher to get the vbios on the card, using nvflash won't work. These vbioses have different display tables and maybe audio output as well ? I know for a fact that eDP is routed to DP_C which is non standard, almost all MXM laptop (except zbook 15/17 g2 and g3) have eDP routed to DP_D of the MXM connector. Meaning if the bios flash is sucessfull you'll need to run the card in switchable graphics mode to get a display on the internal display.

Interesting but I saw a somehow a similar behavior 3 months ago. I bought a very cheap ZBook 15 G3 for one of my sons coming with M1000 and upgraded it right away with an M2200 with Dell VBIOS and was already prepared for VBIOS change and/or NVIDIA inf mod but all was working OOTB strangely....

Weird thing happened today. This machine that I have upgraded to M2200 back in 2022, I have sold it about a year down the road to a friend. During the last month, the motherboard developed a problem (constant WLAN restarting despite multiple WLAN Module replacement, BSODs, weird behavior) so I have sourced a replacement MB from Ebay. When I have replaced it yesterday, I have done a clean installation of W11 per his request. The weird thing is, that the Nvidia driver (downloaded freshly from the Nvidia website) did not require INF mod anymore, the HWID of the GPU was matching straight away from the beginning and I have just installed it the normal way, and I cannot explain why this happened.

Some benchmark results Cpu not OC, video - core +150, memory+250.

its BIOS for X370 laptop, doesnt fit to X170KM

Asus Z890 Apex arrived a day early. Brand new Box damage Had the original launch (August 2024) 503 BIOS on it .....here's hoping to a decent board or back it goes.... Flashing it to the newest BIOS as I type then off to the races. I already boxed up the Z890 Strix but for a board that tops out at 8667, it isn't bad especially for the price but still Asus advertised it as supporting 9066 memory... If my pictures look different, I recently switched from using my iphone to a shiny new Canon Powershot V1, so I'm still getting the hang of it while I make the transition from my iphone to it and a GoPro Max 2 for all my shooting adventures going forward. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tiny, finicky, connector + users treating it like a dodge ball = recipe for failure. More failures of course for the dodge ball players. Definitely can't wait to get mine if not for the D2D warranty than real external hardware pin monitoring. It really does remove the last useful thing from the Astral. The auto shut off is a nice peace of mind functionality and the beta software is only going to get better. I am very curious to see how the MSI yellow dragon flame edition is actually balanced....

We will all be building PCs from discarded trash parts. When stupid becomes normal... Stupid has a face... no thanks. Rugged individualism is vastly superior to collective stupidity.

I'm sure Jensen will push their engineers hard to make the 3060 as a amazing purchase. Gamers will be trilled for a bargain. Also DDR4 will come back. What next? Community tests confirm DLSS 4.5 yields 20%+ performance loss on older RTX 30 and 20 series GPUs compared to DLSS 4.0

Your CPU is the 8750H, right? With PTM and a working undervolt, it should run in the low 80s at max load. I haven't used thermal putty before, but I would be really really cautious about applying too much, causing poor contact between the CPU and heatsink. These laptops are also really sensitive to ventilation. Set on a flat surface, the CPU temperatures will be higher. With the back elevated or on a ventilated surface, the CPU temperatures should hit low 80s max The circled component is the Platform Controller Hub (PCH)

I am in the same boat 😆 One of best live albums, this are some of my preferences

That makes me feel very.................... old.

Turdbooks will continue on the path of turdification eternally. There is no bottom, only smells like one. They are made for a specific type of consumer. Stupid is the new way... it's how the tech giants roll now. They serve stupid people, so it makes sense. Downgrades for everyone... plenty of trash to go around.

Are you ready to bench worlds first MFG integrated graphics? But you'll buy thin & light. Or better known as JOKEBOOKs. A real replacement for desktop graphics cards. Can't beat fake frames and AI. I will wait in anticipation for your results 🙂

The idiotic multi-component design with the daughterboard I/O and PCIe X16 connector is totally crap and so is the compact PCB. Everything is crammed together and plastered with that silly glue mask that NVIDIA uses to make SMD repairs more difficult. Would not touch it with a 10-foot pole, even if it was only like $1200. Designed to fail and no service parts. That's the NVIDIA way of screwing their customers. It would only be useful to move the core and RAM modules over to a donor PCB that is not designed in such an idiotic way. You have to also think about how you got shafted on the firmware lock. All of it was nefariously planned and premeditated to benefit NVIDIA and screw everyone that purchased a Founders Edition GPU. Not the kind of business that deserves any of our money. NVIDIA is as crooked as they come, and it is more obvious now than ever before with how they are handling things.

So what’s the issue with the actual board though? Performance wise I just wish I could do is flash my bios. The bios holds me back. And it’s not all that much. I could care less if the board was 40 pieces lol. It’s a 5090. It performs.

The stupid government.

More unpleasant SKU design will only help increase the price hike for models you would prefer to buy. There is a huge load of people that wish to cram slimy high power cards into cute small SFF builds that help keep their homes cosy, hot and warm in the winters. Sadly they forgot there is also something called summer seasons every year. May I smella new round with melted cards due heat and custom cables to be able to use the cards in the tiny boxes. GeForce RTX 50 SUPER series seems out the window for now... Hence new stupid design choices for the 5000 series cards. And cuttting costs won't help the buyers.
