It's stupid to make the 3080 work on the AW18 because of the MXM slot's power limit. Maybe the card won't work because of the MXM port? Who knows X-vsion uses generic bios for their 3000 series. Like the 3060, 3070 and 3080. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMG3 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Hello guys. I'm now getting error 43 on the GPU. Windows was acting weird, like it was trying to install some drivers, I don't know. I got a BSOD before that, TDR VIDEO FAILURE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMG3 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 I tried DDU and reinstalling, it didn't work. Still the same error. Although, the GPU is detected in the bios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMG3 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Ok guys for some random reasons. I went to device manager and disabled the GPU then enabled it back and the error was gone. I ran one 3dmark TimeSpy and I got 9500 graphics scores, nice. I was using Hwinfo fan tune, the only fan who was at max was the CPU one, the GPU one was controlled by the EC I guess... Do I need to extend my warranty? Or is it common to get random error 43 because of windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
