    Black Screen, GPU Fan 100% When Playing Games

    I would suggest going back to at least the October version:

  3. 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!

    Desktop Window Manager uses high gpu when playing a game

    The Desktop Window Manager uses high gpu (80%) when I'm playing a game. This leads to low fps and a bad experience. Even without a game running, it can still use 15% gpu. This only started happening today, and the solutions I've searched don't work. How
    can I fix this?

    Without a game running (browser, file explorer, discord open):

    With a game running (among us + apps listed above):

    I use an ASUS ZenBook with a Nvidia Geforce MX150 graphics card. My Windows version is 2004. Usually games can run 60fps no problem.
