    Power Adapter Unknown [​IMG]I have this problem of my adapter not charging my laptop.


    According to a few redditer and my detective work, we decided that the battery is not reciving the 45w it needed. And thus we think my plug’s problem(which is bent so it wont fall off easily)


    And in the BIOS it says my adapter not identified, and dell power manager says i need an adapter with 45w or greater(which i have)

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Solution 1: No Internet Access In Windows 8.1or Windows 10

    Step 1:

    Go to Device Manager → Network adapters.
    Step 2:

    Expand it (Network adapters).


    Step 3:

    Select your network adapter


    Step 4:

    Right click on your wireless network adapter or Ethernet adapter and then tap “Update Driver Software”.
    (in this case your network adopter is Ethernet adopter so tap your Ethernet adapter)
    Step 5:

    Now on a new window you will need to click on “Browse my computer for driver software”.

    Looking at the information I have please follow these steps to see if it solves the issue:

    With the adapter plugged:

    1- Right click the windows icon on the task bar and click device manager.

    2- Look for the device that should appear as unknown like you said.

    3- Right click the device and click properties. Go to the driver tab.

    4- Click update driver, then click "browse my computer for driver software".

    5- Click the option "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

    6- Go to the bottom of the list you should see xbox 360...click on it.

    7- Click the xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows.

    8- After installation is done test by turning on the receiver, and finish by turning the xbox controller on.

    Hope that solves your issue.
