  3. LG plug and play portable DVD writer GP55EX70

    I have Windows 10 system on ASUS laptop. When I insert plug and play LG DVD writer into USB port, I hear sound alert that a device is connected but do not get any pop up recognizing the new device or asking what software I want to use to open/play. Laptop
    bottom screen tool bar does not show the new devise either. And when I want to eject, the Show Hidden Icons does not list the devise. The manufacturer, LG, states this is not a driver issue as devise has built in plug and play feature.

    I moved devise to multiple USB ports on ASUS but same result. I plugged devise into another laptop and immediately get the pop up screen asking what software to open/play, and was able to play DVD.

    I assume this is a Windows issue on my laptop. Does anyone have a suggestion for a fix?

    Unable to play 1440p when plugging in third screen.

    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
