  1. My 60hz laptop's screen is completely black after I overdrived it to 144hz


    I recently downloaded an application that was suggested by a YouTuber that could overdrive my laptop to 144hz. I downloaded it and "overdrived" it. I didn't realize until a week later that I'd never overdrived it So after that I did overdrive it and once I restarted my computer, only the windows start-up sound played and my screen was black. I panicked and searched for solutions and I found that I could turn on safe mode to still at least see my screen. But now once I turned off safe mode, the laptop screen goes black again. Please help!!

    :)

  2. Laptop with 144Hz screen locked to 60Hz for no reason

    I have this issue that my games get stuck at 60 fps (the screen is 144Hz) and I have figured that this is not something related to the game itself, you know when you start to get used to see like 90
    to 144 frames per second, you can distinguish between 144 fps and 60 fps. The thing is that when this happens and my game gets locked to 60 fps, when I return to desktop and I start to move the mouse pointer I can appreciate that its movement is kind of slower,
    but when I check what windows says on screen settings, it's still 144Hz, and the same goes to nvidia control panel. Also when I play a different game, it says that it is 144 fps but it isn't, you can tell when something is running so much less than 144Hz when
    you get used to it, and I confirmed that when I setted the vertical sync on in that game and yes, it went down to 60 fps, so the monitor frame rate is set to 60Hz for no reason and neither windows
    or nvidia control panel shows that (those ones still say that the monitor is at 144Hz) . I think windows may be changing internally the refresh rate of the screen but I don't know what to do. Also,
    this get solved usually by restarting the laptop (and I recently found out that turning G-sync on and then off again gets the problem solved too) but the problem always come back, the screen always gets locked to 60Hz after some time (sometimes it happens
    after 15 minutes, other times it happens after 2 hours) and it's really frustrating to be playing and then your monitor just get stuck at 60Hz for no reason. Model: Predator Helios 500, i7-8750h, GTX1070, 144Hz, windows 10 version 1909.

    My 144hz monitor is stuck at 60hz.

    I attempted using CRU and it did not work. When at 144hz, the option never appears in windows and Nvidia settings. And when using 120hz, it appears, but when I select it, my screen goes black, then when it comes back, it's still set as 60hz.

    144hz and 60hz Stuttering Issues

    I can pretty much guarantee that the issue is the difference in frequency between the 2 panels, it can either do one frame rate or the other, not both, the stutters are one screen running at 60Hz, thus locking the desktop and any full screen applications to 60fps too, which means that your laptop's panel is running at 60fps while being capable of running at 144Hz, which causes eye burning stutters.
