Hello, I've been having trouble with my laptop.
The fans get really loud when plugged in but goes quiet when on battery.
Service Host: Local System (svchost) jumps to around 25% when plugged in and drops to 8% when on battery.
Windows update hangs on checking for updates and gives error code...
I recently got my laptop and sometimes when I try to load a game, I get a message saying that the Nvidia Windows Kernel Mode Driver stopped responding and successfully recovered and it just keeps on repeating until I shutdown my laptop.
I reinstalled the nvidia drivers via GeForce Experience but...
I have a concern that the power supply for the defiance 17" 980m may throttle the performance of the laptop as there was problem with some people claiming that the 2015 alienware 17 (a fairly similar laptop) 180W power supply throttled the performance of the laptop.
I might be looking at this...
