If the Code 43 persists , run DDU and re-install drivers. F8 'DSE'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 What do you mean? I blew some compressed air earlier and dried it out.. Can't do much moreSent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalkis this the compressed gas in a can? We noticed the remnants of liquid that evaporated. If its one of those gas based cans if they are used at an angle they start to spray propellent that evaporates quickly but is very cold. This was on the insulating black plastic in the picture. If so did anything else get wet with propellant before evaporating? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 So the XTU thing is only for those who are overclocking and use Win 10?Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalkwell it is just to even be able to install XTU on the latest Windows 10 build as it is being blocked the permission to install the XTU service. Even if you arent overclocking perhaps only using xtu for XMP for example the fix is needed to install and run XTU on the latest Windows 10 build.

Lee James Wood Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Is the gpu failed? I am struggling to load driver signature enforcement mode disabled... God... Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk The only 980M's I have heard of or even seen fail, in north America, that is (from china, forget it, I'm not keeping tabs on those.) are from HIDevolution and XoticPC. However - they do not have a repair team or that many people working for them at all, they ship everything to Clevo, and when they are customising things, they open it up and do what you paid for, and of course tie on a premium for the service, but when it comes to the videocards - TAKE MY WORD ON IT. THEY DO NOT TEST THEM. THEY TAKE THEM OUT OF PRE-BUILT SYSTEMS. YOU ARE GETTING LOWER TIERED VIDEOCARDS. Now, by Tier, I mean, they have passed QA from Clevo and the mass-market assembly-line, but have not thoroughly been tested in the equipment you are going to use it for, only that it passes some electrically tests, and a quick X-Ray by an autonomous process. The ONLY people I know of, that ACTUALLY test the equipment, are Eurocom. They also are the ONLY Clevo distributor that can get MXM videocards from Clevo directly, without getting them in pre-built systems, like buying multiple very cheap SLI system and taking them apart for individual sales. THEY DO NOT DO THAT . This is in part because they are larger, the owner is a family man, Polish-Canadian, and has about 4-5 dozen employees between the warehouse AND between the storefront. These other vendors do not have a store front that you can walk into and browse around, they do not even have a dozen techs. They have some nice artists mind you, and surely have some talented people, but they have not been in business for 20 years yet. So, word of caution, careful what you buy from them and how you handle it. Do not expect to overclock videocards pulled from OEM setups to be sold individually to match up to some of the ones actually meant to be sold individually. Its the same with QS/ES and OEM cpu's too. You can get some of these bought from stolen bins from Intel, or on the grey market pulled from systems for individual resale. OR you can buy from reputable vendors who get them by the trays or individualised packaging, they have a tendancy to perform much higher, and last longer. Anyways, back to the screen/image thing - looks to be a cable issue, most of the time you see artifacts like that, its the LVDS cable being pulled slightly out of the socket, because the ribbon had pressure put on it, sometimes during a teardown, we leave the monitor/panel on its hinges because we're lazy, but trying to be careful, it puts pressure on the ribbon/LVDS cable, and it comes out a bit. This is also sometimes caused by cats falling asleep on the panel of the laptops too when we're not around.. bending the fiberglass or plastic, and putting enough pressure on the ribbons that it bends and pulls out abit, haha (seriously, I've seen it happen twice, for same reason!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mw86 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I have Eurocom Panther 5 (Clevo P570WM) that I purchased with 980m Sli, I know these cards in this machine are running great, besides the throttle Nvidia drivers had caused for awhile.. so the Eurocom 980m in a Eurocom I can as well vouch are dependable out of experience.

FPS on IGP does better on lower resolution with medium settings in a lot of games, seeing what effects drop fps by a lot can help tune it for temporary use till you have a proper Dedicated gpu again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
