yeahhh make a bacukp before u touch the antivirus, learned that the hard way lmk how it goes

ugh

hmmm if artifacts appear even in BIOS or on teh boot screen, thats almost certainly hardware. in that case contact teh seller or manufacturer for warranty. lmk how it goes

oh ive been there lol do a clean driver install with DDU in Safe Mode. if artifacts persist after that and at stock settings, run a sterss test like OCCTs VRAM test... errors there point to hardware. lmk how it goes

write a one page cheat sheet for teh most common problems: how to restart the router, how to find the Wi Fi password, how to take a screenshot. tape it near teh computer. it cuts calls in half. lmk how it goes

lol this thread is gold

A sensible approach: try the newer driver, keep the OEM package downloaded, and note what changes. if sleep, battery or stability gets worse, go back to the OEM one. somewhere an AI is confidently telling someone the wrong fix rn
