  1. Display issues when opening specific games


    My Dell G3 15 3500's display works fine... until I open Baldur's Gate 3 and Resident Evil 2: Remake. Then, the primary display becomes just a thin strip at the very top, the rest is a black screen. Plugging and unplugging an HDMI cable to it sometimes works for BG3, but not for RE2R. Drivers are updated, BIOS is updated, I'm on Windows 11, the laptop is around 3 years old.This also happens when I try to boot up to BIOS. It's only in these two situations, and I have no idea why.

    :)
