Windows May 1903 Update Fails on Update

I haven't gotten any emails from Razer Support should I just reach out on a call or something? Also I just tried Disc Check, System File Check, and Dism and all reported no errors on the file system or disc itself.

Windows May 1903 Update Fails on Update

Great thank you - I have read online that Microsoft updated the 1903 release to make sure a PC was good to go before offering to install this via Windows UP. I did get that offer so tried again this AM and I get the same WDF Violation Error as before. To add insult to injury I completely reset the Blade 15, released and patched and have just added back MS Office, Chrome, Division 2, and Oculus with the same results. I even had read to disconnect external USB drives prior to update so did that with no luck whatsoever.

Windows 10 1903 Breaks the eGPU (Core X Chroma)

Can I tell you that with my 2019 Razer 15 with RTX 2080, I get nothing but a BSOD WDF Violation error even after I have wiped the machine and have noting but Windows 10 on it! I have even disconnect any external devices and still get the error. At this point after multiple attempts I give up on 1903 for the time being on my Razer 15

Here is what one other person from support wrote me when I sent my logs but I have not heard back from them Yup, this is a PM. BTW, I also found multiple services related to Oculus VR, Microsoft Office and even Drive Controllers either failing to launch event or pretty much just crashing.

Unable to Update to May Windows 10 1903

Razer.CazielThat stop code means there's a faulty driver preventing the update. Can you send me your Application and System Event logs from Windows Event Viewer? That would help me isolate what's causing the BSOD. Here you go - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/o2rhm9nu1oxw0at/AAAbJ-_wiS7eSpMPbAhMI7wra?dl=0 Thanks for the help!

GeForce Drive Update to 419.35

ARMOR_152I always upgrade to the newest as soon as it comes out, it'll help you get the best performance on new games. If you only play games that are a couple years old and aren't having problems you don't need to update it as often though if you don't want to. Thanks, I am playing newer games like Division 2 which comes out today so I'll go ahead and update.

RX2070 verse RX2080

JoikansaiGs laptops is built for poor poeple I remember Linus mentioned that 2 or 3 years ago he called the poorBlade when I’m not wrong, the cassis is flex all over the surface (I heard rtx model is better though) when I tried 2018 gs65, that main performance downgrade is also because of the cheaper gpu, it’s 80 watt tdp gpu vs Blade which use always maxed 90 watt. It’s only from hardware wise not manufacturer bios limitation for better thermal (since it’s maxq thin light categories). That is wise decision, I’m not Linus Fans but he mentioned also cassis gs75 isn’t worth the price for 2080 model in one of his video (apparently bends easily), maybe if 2060 around 2K or less it is fine imo. You are correct about much of what you said but the 2019 MSI's definitely improved their game and while they still flex they were not too bad. Bottom line is I am typing this response on the Huntsman Elite keyboard, using the Mamba Hyperflux Mouse, and processing this on my Blade RTX2080 laptop!

RX2070 verse RX2080

BlaZ1n.IVXXI got the 2070 version and my buddy got the MSI Stealth with the 2080. All we play is rust and with identical settings fps between the two is less that 5%. My 2070 stays 10c cooler than his. We both get frame rate dips into the 40s but it's very rare. Both max around 110 fps and average in the 80s. Good to know and thanks for sharing he experience. I was really torn between getting the MSI GS75 with the 2080 verse the Blade. But given the your Blade and Razers tech is known for awesome tech on cooling I am not too surprised and the frame rate differences do make sense. For me - I am actively pacing back and forth in front of the front door as UPS/Amazon are about to deliver my Blade RTX2080 model. :-)

Clearance delay at customs .. is this normal?

cstampupdate: package cleared customs and was delivered 2 days past scheduled delivery date. large shipments (mine was in a shipment of 90 other orders) are held at customs for longer due to the clearance process. Makes sense - Wednesday evening Amazon ended up getting more 2080 models in stock so I went ahead and ordered from them. Mine is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.

Firebat2462080 for sure and the rest is up to you 😜 So I pulled the trigger on the 2080 from Amazon Wednesday late PM and it is now scheduled for delivery tomorrow! So excited I can't wait for it to show up.

JoikansaiProbably since here in EU Amazon shipping is from inside the country vs Razer store from HK, though i only see clearance issue in US in first batch, here i never got it stopped there from HK, from Blade to Razer Phone purchase. Makes sense - I went ahead and ordered it through Amazon and it will be here tomorrow!!!

Ouch - getting ready to order Advanced Blade 15 tomorrow and reading this I'm thinking perhaps Amazon may be a better way to go?

The perfect Blade 15 bag? It allready exists... and its from Razer?!

After reading this thread and realizing I am about to be in the same situation I went out on the hunt and I believe I found the perfect sleeve. While it is not on brand color - it will fit almost perfectly and it's leather and only $69. The size of this is for the DELL XPS but it will fit nicely. https://www.sfbags.com/collections/dell-laptop-collection/products/dell-laptop-sleevecase-1

RX2070 verse RX2080

salazartherinI was in the same situation two weeks ago. I researched a lot on the difference between the two GPUs. I finally came to the same conclusion that @ChiefNieth has written in his comment. We always like to go for the more powerful GPU when we are gonna spend so much money anyways. But it's really important to make a smart choice here. On a 1080p display, a 2070 MQ GPU will perform fine at the highest settings. A 2080 MQ might increase the frames a bit (or might even not due to CPU bottleneck and thermal throttling) but that increase is really not worth that kind of money. It will be barely noticeable. If we were talking about higher resolution panels or connecting to a monitor, then 2080 MQ might make sense. When gaming only on the laptop, make the smart choice and get the 2070 MQ while saving those $400. Something else I came across during my research is that packing a 2080 inside a laptop this thin and small (even though its the MQ version) might not have been the best ide

Core X or Core V2 with Stealth 4K verse 15" Advance?

figrin1The 2080 will still help you reach the 144hz refresh rate of the 1080p screen. Besides, it doesn't look like you can get a 4k screen with the 2080. Correct the highest you can go is 2070 with the 4K. The 4K screen is appealing to me for work to be honest so what I can do when I am doing website work is change the "Scale and Layout" settings from say 200% down to 125 or 150 and what I get then is basically then more screen real estate to look at a rendered web page next to say a page of code and easily see changes side by side without having then to move windows or desktops around. While text is smaller it does give me more room to move windows around, while at 1080P everything is already at 100%.

Core X or Core V2 with Stealth 4K verse 15" Advance?

figrin1Just get the best Blade 15 models you can. The performance from their internal GPU's will outperform a Stealth + eGPU for much less money. The only downside is that it's going to be less portable. The newer Blade Stealth suffers from driver incompatibility issues with eGPU's (even Razer's own eGPU's) so that you have to reinstall the laptop's graphics drivers every time you unplug from the eGPU. I would say you should just get the Stealth without the MX150, but then you only get 8GB of RAM, which isn't really enough for gaming. If you absolutely have to get something right away, I think the best option might be one of the 2018 Blade Stealths. They are less expensive, thinner, have 16GB of RAM, work very well with eGPU's, and have QHD screens, which make a lot more sense than 4K on something so small. Thanks for your feedback and the information you supplied is very helpful. Given this feedback on the thread and everyone's comments I am going to go with the 2019 15" Blade and

Core X or Core V2 with Stealth 4K verse 15" Advance?

JoikansaiWith 1080ti which is similar raw performance with rtx2080 it would be look like this compared to Blade rtx 2070, 2080 and my 2080 Blade 15 2018 Core setting. You’ll be bottlenecked a lot with ultrabook physical (cpu) performance. With stealth 2019 and 2080 maybe you’ll get Blade rtx2060 performance. There’s also TB3 bandwidth limitation that you’ve to face on core (eGPU) setting, to match Blade 15 rtx 2080 performance you’ll need rtx2080ti on your core with Blade 15 8750H cpu for less bottleneck. Ok Joikansai - so in layman's terms my take away is Yes you can do it but you would need to overbuy on the GPU for the Core, but even doing so you will still run into bottlenecks on Stealth CPU and bandwidth limitations going over TB3 to the eGPU. So unless I really wanted to portability or I just couldn't wait for the Blade 15 4K version stay with the Blade as the best solution between the 2.
