So its time to go back to troubleshooting, coz its not the temps. I think I will give it one more go, but this time lower frame cap and settings more, just to see if I could play like that, barely more than a minute after launching the game and it BSOD. It cannot be the temps! The error btw was BAD_POOL_CALLER. The last temps on the screen were GPU low 60s, CPU low 70s. I load up two point hospital (first time), I cap frames at 55, I leave the graphic settings alone coz it was already a mix of med-high not 10 minutes in and BSOD. But the final attempt at gaming a few days ago I had afterburner on screen and I was watching it more than I was playing because I just knew it was going to blue screen as always. As after a crash I would go back in to look at the log only to see nothing alarming and think maybe it just didn't get to save before a spike hit. Now it peaks in the low 80s, but doesn't typically go out of the 70s - much better!Īfter much fiddling and trying to rule out thermals as the cause of the BSODs, I had run HWINFO and set it to log the temps, but it took a while for me to believe it was not the thermals. Cooling pads, power management, and under-volting. Despite this being my first laptop, I knew temps were going to not be great as its just a tough job to cool in a small space, but after having looked up tons of threads and videos I took several steps to lower this down.
The GPU wasn't bad, I think peaking in low 70s, but then I would be hit so fast with a BSOD it feels like I never had a good chance to see how it would be after a half hour of gaming! The CPU was really high though (7700HQ), going right into the mid 90s. Indeed I did quickly look into the temps and found them to be scary. Troubleshooting a laptop is kind of a nightmare, most places are quick to point to overheating. But the absolutely endless BSODs from *day 1* meant I have hardly used it. This is my first laptop, which I purchased mainly to stream to, but I did want something that at least had some sort of GPU in there (1060) so that if for some reason I was stuck, then it would game okay. there is a list of games I have tried, none demanding, most fairly basic indie titles. Games like HELLDIVERS, South park, Stardew valley, Tokyo 42, Dead Cells.
Apart from an hour and a half playing Stardew valley and 2 sessions of streaming, I have not been able to play even undemanding games without hitting a BSOD fast. I bought this laptop at the start of last year and I've probably opened the lid on it no more than a dozen times, in other words less than monthly - thats how much of a nightmare it's been.
#TWO POINT HOSPITAL STUCK ON LOADING SCREEN FREE#
The first 3 paragraphs honestly are just a rant and the journey, so feel free to skip ahead to the situation I am currently facing.
