    Thanks for the help. Turned my 2020 laptop into a totally useful 2026 laptop. Glad that it bridges me to the new RTX Spark enabled laptops of the future.

    Sweet

    Missed the other post.

    I've been setting up the system more for stability than benchmarking. I find the laptop runs the programs and games perfectly with a balance. I really appreciate finding the D3 Cold disable fix. My system suspends perfectly and all my work and settings are saved each and every day.

    That would be really awesome....

    1.3.2 was only popular to keep the higher 200W on the 2080. I personally do not care since I run the AGA. I ran my M15x from 2009 (I forget, I think two sticks banged together) -> 680M (2014) -> 980M(2018) and even got Occulus Rift running on it (such great memories Xmas work week VR stuff w coworkers). So that's 17 years on only two Alienware laptops....not bad. Area 51m "upgradability" was a total knife in the back. Zero drop-in....not even 2080 Super but the 2080 worked for me through Cyperpunk, BG3 & Alyx so I didn't suffer. Only recently with 2025+ titles did I dust off the AGA and throw in a 5080 to continue being fine. I heard from Amir that 1.7.3 has more forgiving RAM speed settings vs. 1.9.3

    I had 1.3.2 on my system but updated to 1.7.3 and then 1.9.3 I think I can recovery flash back to 1.3.2 without bricking the system. When i tried from way later BIOS (you can only go back to 1.12.X) I had to swap out the CPU due to eFuses being blown by the security updates

    Would you also need to adjust the VBIOS to know that it has changed?

    It somewhat is incompatible as the AGA link from cold boot is often poor. I have to "reboot" the AGA once inside windows to get a stable link.
  11. 2CPU
    Oh cool. What version you going to base it upon?

    Amir.s found the next needed piece of the work around. Disable D3 cold transition on the 5 series GPUs in the AGA. Now the laptop will not crash in suspend. Set nACPI D3Cold Support = Disabled Current value: 0x425 = 01 Update to 0.

    The cold boot BIOS choice of AGA PCIe settings are still not optimal. But since now the system does not reset overnight in suspend that is OK. I just do the unplug/plug of the AGA cable once in Windows and settings are fine. Without the suspend crash I can have those settings preserved in the OS for as long as I do not need to reset.
  14. 2CPU
    Yes, removing the D3 cold transition has kept the system from resetting with suspend.
  15. 2CPU
    I think your D3 Cold disable has stopped the sudden resets during suspend. I will monitor and report back.
