Windows 10: 0rpm GPU fan even when gaming. Please provide solutions on how to fix it. Also is it normal...

My laptop, ASUS Gaming Laptop TUF F15 FX506HE using an NVidia GeForce RTX 3050Ti that is mainly used for work and gaming is stuck at 0rpm even when I'm gaming. I was playing Zenless Zone Zero when I suddenly realized my game started to lag and eventually felt that my laptop was overheating on the right side of the laptop. Then I checked with Armoury Crate and found out that the GPU fan was stuck at 0rpm shown on image 1. I also double checked it with MyAsus through system diagnostics and the result was there is a problem with the fan shown on image 2.I am not sure what to do here as I goog

Why does my cpu and gpu keep spiking and dropping fps in games?

Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

Experiencing CPU and GPU spikes, along with FPS drops in games, can be frustrating. Here are some potential solutions to help you address these issues:

1. Update Drivers:
   
   • Regularly update your graphics and chipset drivers to the latest versions to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
     
2. Close Background Processes:
   
   • Use Task Manager to close unnecessary background processes and applications that might be using system resources.
     
3. Improve Cooling:
   
   • Clean your PC's fans and ensure proper airflow. Consider adding more fans or using a more aggressive cooling solution if necessary.
     
4. Check for Malware:
   
   • Run a full system scan to check for malware that might be using system resources.
     
5. Adjust Game Settings:
   
   • Lower the game's graphical settings to reduce the workload on your GPU and CPU. This can help maintain a more stable FPS.
     
6. Test Hardware:
   
   • Test your GPU and other hardware components on another system to rule out hardware failure. If a component is faulty, consider replacing it.
     
7. Enable Unified GPU Usage Monitoring:
   
   • If using MSI Afterburner, enable "unified GPU usage monitoring" to potentially fix usage spikes and stuttering.
     
8. Check Internet Connection:
   
   • Ensure your internet connection is stable, especially for online games. A weak connection can cause FPS drops.
     

Please do let me know if the method I suggested works for you or if you need further assistance.

 

Black Screen, GPU Fan 100% When Playing Games

Black Screen, GPU Fan 100% When Playing Games

Hey all,

I have had an issue for the last few months, specifically when trying to play Rocket League, where between 5-20 minutes into playing, both of my monitors will go black and my GPU fan will kick to 100%. I can't remember if this coincided with any NVIDIA driver updates, but any subsequent updates have not helped. I am currently running the latest NVIDIA driver version (441.66).

Here are some of the troubleshooting steps that I have taken for this:

• RAM
• Ran Memtest64 overnight, ensuring that 100% RAM utilization. No errors were returned.
• Reseated the RAM, blowing out the slots to ensure no blockages.
• Tested different memory slots on the board.
• Swapped out RAM with new RAM from Microcenter, no improvements.
• RAM was originally OC'd to 3200 MHz via XMP. I turned this off and the RAM is running at stock speeds listed above.
• BIOS
• Updated BIOS to the latest version
• Performed a Clean Boot and attempted to play. Game still crashed out within the first match or so.
• GPU
• Updated all drivers
• Updated drivers, including a complete DDU uninstall/reinstall.
• Swapped power cables from the PSU
• Moved GPU to lower PCI-E slot
• Reseated the GPU, blowing out the slot after reseating
• Deleted the video driver from Control Panel
• Storage
• Ran chkdsk with no errors
• Ran defragmentation on the HDD and Trim on the SSDs
• Ran sfc /scannow with no issues
• Game Files
• Ran validator on game files (as a note here, after one crash, I ran the validator and it corrected one file. However, I played a game immediately after and crashed. Running the validator after that crash had no files fixed)
• Installed the game on all three storage devices

I have attached the BSOD logs. Please assist!
