Critical problems with Razer Blade 15 Advanced (BSOD, black screen)


To start with - yes I've installed all the drivers and updates I can find, both on this forum and on the official Razer website for my model (RZ09-02887W91) and I'm still having some awful issues with this laptop.

They include:
-BSOD consistently and exclusively when unplugged from mains power (running on battery)
-frequent black screens on programs, as though it's running out of video memory i would assume ?
-99% cpu usage by 'system interrupts', but stops when i open task manager
-extreme painful heat and battery life of about an hour even when not doing anything complicated (but seeing what everyone else says about this model it looks like this is unavoidable?)

I've deleted and reinstalled all nvidia drivers, and kept up to date with every update possible. I'm completely lost and if anyone could help me out that would be very appreciated

I've already got in contact with Razer.Caziel but thank you 🙂
Hello, I have also same problem here. The screen becomes black screen, but the sound and keyboard works. This usually happens when I start to use battery instead of adapter.

I'm bumping all these threads to find out when exactly the Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2018 1070mq will be compatible with the 431.65 release for which the aforementioned model had its support pulled. I've been using 417.71 for almost half a year to prevent BSODs occurring. Very disappointing no Razer staff are addressing this other than on reddit. Why the radio silence? Why is RedPanda responding to complaints about RTX series, 2019 RB15s and ignoring those from the 2018 1xxx series?

Resetting Windows help solving this problem for me. Didn't update Windows after reset.

I have been having issues with battery life under windows. Since I updated to BIOS 1.04, the fan is always running even on battery, even though the temperatures are on the 40's C. This gives me only 1 hour and something of battery life. Before it would go over 4 hours at the very least
