AXA Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Just thought id make this post as abit of a heads up for anyone wanting to run win11 on the old m18x r2. I upgraded from LTSC to standard enterprise to test out and whatever graphical app or game i tried to run resulted in a dxgmms1.sys BSOD (was repeatable with the epic games launcher and heaven benchmark). Turns out this is due to a setting called Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling, which is on by default in windows 11 but not 10. Once this is turned off everything runs perfectly fine, ive attached some screenshots of where the setting is: Hopefully this helps others, im assuming this isnt just exclusive to the enterprise edition but also affects other editions too. 4 1 Alienware M18X R2 | Nebula Red | i7 3740QM [OC'd to 4Ghz] | 32GB RAM | NVIDIA Quadro P4000 | 75hz OC'd Display | MXM to NVMe Adapter with Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB Alienware 17 R4 | i7 6700HQ | 16GB RAM | GTX 1070 | 100hz OC'd LG 1080p Display Alienware M18X R1 | Space Black | i7 2960XM | 16GB RAM | GTX 780M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssj92 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Just wanted to let everyone else know as mentioned this isn’t windows 11 exclusive. I had the option on in 10 and also had bsod. this seems to affect SG mode systems with upgrades such as M18xR2 M17xR4 AW18 AW 17 R1 so if you’re getting bsods this is the first thing to check. I spent months trying to fix this before. 3 Alienware m18 : Intel Core i9 13900HX @ 5.0Ghz | nVidia GeForce RTX 4090 | K1675 | 2x1TB SSDs Alienware Area-51M : Intel Core i9-9900K @ 5.3Ghz | nVidia GeForce RTX 2080 | AX210 | Samsung 970 Evo+ Alienware M18x R2 : Intel Core i7 3920XM @ 4.7Ghz | nVidia GeForce RTX 3080 | AX210 | Samsung 980 PRO Alienware 18 : Intel Core i7 4930MX @ 4.5Ghz | nVidia Quadro RTX 5000 | AX210 | Samsung 980 NVMe More Laps: M14x (555m) | M14xR2 (650m) | M15x (980m) | M17xR3 (880m) | M18xR1 (RTX 5000) BEAST Server: Intel Xeon W7-3465X 28 P-Cores | nVidia RTX Titan | 128GB RDIMM | Intel Optane P5800X CS Studios YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CSStudiosYT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Download windows 11 iso from media creation tool. Download Rufus software to create a bootable installation media. Select the media drive from Rufus, select iso image to burn, and from the settings check to remove the restrictions that prevent windows 11 install on unsupported hardware. (It's a menu with 5 options. Check them all).
