Ram Upgrade Help

Hi. I just got my MSI vector 16 hx ai today. And I need to upgrade from 2x8 GB OF RAM, TO 2x16GB ram. I've been finding conflicting information about if 5600 is enough and what CL number it needs. So I was wondering if this would work? Any help is appreciated 😅😭

MSI Bravo 15 fans maxing

MSI Bravo 15 C7VE - Fans suddenly max out, FPS drops from \~100 to 20–30, temps are normal, only reboot fixes it
I’ve been troubleshooting this for a while and I’m running out of ideas.
Laptop:
MSI Bravo 15 C7VE
RTX 4050 Laptop GPU
Ryzen 7 (C7VE model)
The problem
The laptop starts out completely normal.
I can launch a game and performance is perfect at first.
Then, after playing for a while (used to happen after about one match, the fans instantly ramp to over 6000 RPM and my FPS immediately drops from around 80 FPS to 20–30 FPS.
The FPS drop is instant, not gradual.
Once it happens:
Performance never recovers.
Fans stay at maximum speed.
The only thing that fixes it is rebooting the laptop.
Temperatures
The weird part is the temperatures are completely normal.
I’ve monitored everything with HWiNFO and MSI Center.
Typical temperatures after the issue occurs:
CPU: \~40–50°C
GPU: \~35–50°C
GPU Hotspot: high 80°C
Memory Junction: \~48°C
HWiNFO also reports:
No CPU thermal throttling
No PROCHOT
No obvious overheating
So the laptop behaves like it’s overheating even though the temperatures are nowhere near high enough.
Things I’ve already tried
Updated BIOS from E158NAMS.113 to E158NAMS.115
EC reset (power off, unplugged, held power button for 60 seconds)
Completely uninstalled MSI Center
Windows reset
Clean installation of the latest NVIDIA driver
Tested multiple games (The Finals and Planet Zoo)
Monitored temperatures with HWiNFO
Verified there is no CPU thermal throttling
Verified CPU/GPU temperatures remain normal
Tested with both my replacement 200W MSI charger and the original 200W MSI charger (same behavior)

MSI Cyborg 15 A12VE - Random black screen/restart after FurMark/GCS test, Intel UHD instability after motherboard replacement

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help because I've spent the last couple of days troubleshooting this with an MSI technician.

Laptop:

MSI Cyborg 15 A12VE

Intel Core i7-12650H

NVIDIA RTX 4050 Laptop GPU

Windows 11

Background

My laptop originally had an RTX 4050 issue, so MSI replaced the entire motherboard.

After the motherboard replacement:

The internal laptop speakers have never worked again (headphones work fine).

I'm getting graphics-related instability.

Current issue

The GCS diagnostic runs FurMark.

The FurMark stress test itself completes successfully:

RTX 4050 reaches \~95 FPS on charger.

GPU temperature stays around 70°C.

No artifacts or graphical corruption.

However, immediately after FurMark finishes:

Sometimes GCS throws Run-time error 55: "File already open".

Then the screen goes black.

The laptop restarts by itself (no BSOD).

Intel UHD Graphics behavior

This is the weird part.

If I disable Intel UHD Graphics in Device Manager:

Windows becomes much more stable.

Random restarts mostly stop.

If I enable Intel UHD Graphics:

Windows starts randomly restarting again.

Sometimes it restarts within a few minutes.

I also tried uninstalling the Intel graphics driver completely so Windows used the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, but the laptop still restarted after several minutes.

Things I've already tried

Windows Update (fully updated)

SFC /scannow

DISM /RestoreHealth

BIOS reset to defaults

Official MSI Intel graphics driver

Official MSI chipset driver

NVIDIA driver reinstall

Wi-Fi driver reinstall

FurMark/GCS multiple times

Nothing fixed the issue.

Additional information

RTX 4050 is detected correctly in Device Manager.

FurMark completes successfully before the reboot.

DirectX 12 is installed.

Device Manager shows Intel UHD disabled (Code 22) only because I manually disabled it.

MSI technician has now escalated the case to MSI engineering.

My questions

Has anyone seen FurMark complete successfully but the system reboot immediately afterward?

Could this still be an Intel UHD / Optimus / hybrid graphics issue?

Could the replacement motherboard or BIOS/EC firmware be the cause?

Does the speaker issue after the motherboard replacement make anyone suspect the replacement motherboard itself?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

MSI Stealth Power Limits

My MSI Stealth A1VHG has a 4080 that’s rated at 60W + 45W dynamic boost. However, when on the extreme performance profile, the laptop only hits about 56-60W consistently and I never see it reaching up to that 105W (temps are at around 82-84). Is this normal for dynamic boost? Shouldn’t it be going above 60 as well?

MSI Vector A16 HX (E15MMAMS.10B) - 0.55 GHz bug still happening? PBO/PPT limits not working?

Hi everyone,

I recently bought an MSI Vector A16 HX with the Ryzen 9 8940HX, and I'm experiencing the same 0.55 GHz CPU bug that some people have mentioned. It only happens when running on battery power.

I'm already on the latest BIOS (E15MMAMS.10B), but the issue is still there.

Is anyone else still experiencing this bug with the latest BIOS?

Also, I've been trying to tune the CPU from the BIOS (Advanced → AMD Overclocking → Precision Boost Overdrive), but changing PPT/TDC/EDC/Curve Optimizer doesn't seem to have any effect. The CPU still draws about the same power regardless of the values I set.

How are you guys limiting CPU power? Are you using BIOS settings, UXTU, RyzenAdj, or another tool?


In CPU-Z, my BIOS version is still reported as E15MMAMS.10B, but the BIOS date shows 05/14/2026, while MSI's support page lists the same BIOS version with a release date of 07/07/2026.

Is this normal? Do you guys see the same BIOS date in CPU-Z, or is mine different?

MSI Stealth Unresponsive

Kind of at a loss here. Laptop randomly started having the screen go black and stop responding. Now only shows power LED but nothing happens. Let it sit and eventually (not sure how long but a while) a secure boot violation shows up, everything I’ve found says to disable secure boot, go in the bios, etc. I can’t disable it (entirely grayed out), I can’t access the bios until the secure boot violation comes up, no MSI logo shows up when I turn it on, no keyboard lighting either. I have not found anything that seems helpful to fix it. (I assume the secure boot violation is the cause but I could be wrong) I believe it is a Stealth 17 Studio A13V, I use this laptop for school so I’d like to not have to send it in for repairs. Thank you!
