what options in the advanced bios options would let me change the power limit option

[hard hazel]

I’m trying to get my GPU to not be stuck on 210 mhz and since it was a power limit issue maybe there’s a way to change it in the bios.

Or something that messes with sleep mode since it might be that my GPU is always on sleep mode

First update your GPU driver, then check if windows needs to update.

Your GPU will clock down when you're not playing a game or doing anything intensive, are you sure it's actually stuck at 210 MHz? Have you checked while playing a game?

[stray breach]

Oh apparently something called precision may cause it

[hard hazel]

I've treid unistalling afterburnner and stuff it still isn't working

I've nowerd it down to the bios since everything else is fine I jus don't know what in the bios does this

[stray breach]

Have you tired updating the bios?

[hard hazel]

yep

[stray breach]

Have you used ddu to uninstall your gpu driver and then reinstall it without afterburner installed?

[hard hazel]

yes I said this already

[tribal oak]

Have you tried looking into advanced power plan settings?

[hard hazel]

no

where's that?

[tribal oak]

Control panel > Hardware and Sound > Power options > change plan settings > change advanced power settings >

You will get a popup box/dialog box

You can check/modify settings there

Steps are for Win10 but can be followed in Win11

search for Control Panel if you can't find it

[hard hazel]

ok done it

[tribal oak]

You can also try removing laptop batter for at least 30 minutes

see if that resets gpu stuck in "sleep" or something

ofc power down your laptop first

oh yeah... bios are different depending on vendors... but I recall seeing a way to disable hibernate mode in bios for MSI

you could look into that, disabling hibernate via bios

Do a search for C-states in bios

I think C-states are powersaving features for PC, desktops

Make sure to backup all important data and make notes of settings before changes are made

[hard hazel]

It’s a Msi Sword 15 laptop if that helps

But I’ll search for it

[gaunt zodiac]

yoo i have the same one

[tribal oak]

Good luck!

I turn off my systems when I'm done. If you have use cases where you need to leave your laptop always on, then proceed with caution when making changes in bios 🙂

[hard hazel]

Alright I will

[hard hazel]

I see cp c state but not for GPU

Any of these settings will help me out

[tribal oak]

Have you looked at your NVIDIA control panel settings?

[hard hazel]

Kinda

I did turn the performance thing to maximum performance

[tribal oak]

Since your GPU is still stuck on 210mhz.. have you tried resetting your BIOS to default settings?

Restore default settings, save and reboot

[hard hazel]

still nothing

the wierd part is that if I run a gpu monitor program like gpu z it acts normal again

[tribal oak]

An option of last resort... factory reset?

[hard hazel]

already treid nothing still

[hard hazel]

Damn it looks like I’ll have get a new pc huh

[tribal oak]

If your laptop is still under warranty, I would contact MSI support directly and see if they can help

If even a factory reset... and restoring bios defaults, reinstalling gpu related software still can't unstuck gpu stuck at 210mhz, then I don't know.. maybe hardware issue?

good luck

[hard hazel]

It’s not welp it’s time to get some money

[stray breach]

Reinstall windows before throwing the whole pc out, it's likely just a bug

[hard hazel]

Already did sadly

[stray breach]

It's STILL not working??

Have you tried older drivers for the GPU?

[hard hazel]

Yeah they kinda work but you need a GPU monitor running in order for them to work

[stray breach]

How old is this GPU?

[hard hazel]

like 1 1/2 years old

[stray breach]

Did you buy it new or used?

[hard hazel]

new

[stray breach]

Damn, I have no clue then

[safe cloak]

I’m having the same issues 😞

[stray breach]

People are saying roll back the bios to older versions until you find one that works, but other than that i can't find a tried and true solution

[hard hazel]

How would you do that?

[stray breach]

https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/update-bios-on-a-pc

Read the entire thing before doing it. Also your bios may be connected to your laptops model number since it's not a regular motherboard

[safe cloak]

Please let me know if it works.

Select your model and the bios will be listed

Try the newest bios first, and if that doesn't work, try older ones

[hard hazel]

where to find the older ones I mean

I see the newer one but that's it

[stray breach]

Msi doesn't list em, there's a way to find specific versions by changing the url name. But try the newest first and see if that changes anything

[hard hazel]

I already did

trying right now to findold bios versions

[stray breach]

Not sure how to find em exactly...

There may be a reset button on the bottom of the laptop, can you press and hold it for 30 seconds without being attached to the charger cable?

[safe cloak]

Any solution yet?

[hard hazel]

no, probs just gonna save up to get a new pc

[weak harbor]

Update

[hard hazel]

getting a new pc

[weak harbor]

Godo

Good
