2019 RB 15 Advanced WiFi Disconnect While Gaming
Hey everyone, posting here because quite frankly I’m at a loss. First, specs:
2019 razer blade 15 pro
OS: MS10 home version 10.0.19042 build 19402
System type: 64x
Processor: intel i7-8750H @2.2ghz 6 cores
Memory: 32GB
I’ve been playing a lot of games on this laptop for over 1.5 years now. Warzone lately and maybe 2 weeks ago now the laptop shut down mid game and it sounded/looked like it sparked for a split second beneath the H/J key area. Laptop booted up just fine after that and didn’t have much of a problem until 1-2 days later. However, I was now getting huge FPS drops making the games virtually unplayable. CPU turbo would not kick in during the games and would remain around 790MHz. At this point, I used throttlestop to try and figure out what was going on thinking I was thermal throttling or something. I successfully found some settings to maintain 3200MHz without having any PL or BD PROCHOT errors.
Now, I can browse the internet and download files just fine. I run stress tests on the CPU/GPU with no problem. However, as soon as I try to play MW or destiny 2 within 3-5 minutes of gameplay my WiFi cuts out. It’s not the router/modem as every other device runs on those devices and never drops (including my PS4 with the same games). On the laptop itself, the WiFi interface drops off completely and says WiFi is off and that I have to turn it on manually (however, when I click the button to turn the WiFi on nothing happens). The WiFi interface will then restart by itself automatically within 1-2 mins and locate my home router and automatically join.
My laptop does recognize the charger and does charge to 100% without issue.
Now, I’ve tried multiple things up until this point:
- replaced the laptop battery
- replaced the WiFi adapter card (upgraded to AX200)
- hard resets on the router/modem
- uninstall/reinstall WiFi drivers
- changed WiFi adapter settings so that it cannot power down for power saving
- updated AND rolled back windows 10 updates (tested both ways)
- DNS flushed multiple times
I suppose I'm at a loss now... either a sensor on the motherboard went bad with that spark I saw causing the system to shut down the wifi connection when it heats up/is under stress or my throttlestop settings are causing some power draw/current issue that I'm not picking up.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
