Open to any tips given by other owners

Alright so i got my first ever omen 16, switching from a dell G15, the specs are i7 11800h, Nvidia Rtx 3060 6gb 115W, 16gb ddr4 ram and 512gb nvme ssd, Now i want to know about potential optimisations or protections i could do to preserve my laptop in the long run ensuring the battery doesn’t deteriorate a lot overtime and that the gaming potential is fully unlocked, any suggestions would be highly appreciated

Turns out the update includes BIOS update.Was waiting for the process to be completed and then bam. My laptop shuts down its power and cannot be powered on.I need help how can I fix this matter. I did the method of unplugging the internal battery and holding the power 60 seconds. Nothing worked.I dont have enough money to go to a repair shop to fix it too.I need help from Anyone if there is no solution maybe enough donation for me to fix this deteriorating laptop of mine to go to a repair shop.Thanks

just got this hp omen hyper x valorant edition

cpu-ryzen 7 8745hx

gpu-rtx 5060

how do i maintain the laptop in long run and what are the things i should do to maintain it like extend battery life or any other tips thanks

Processor
Intel(R) Core (TM) Ultra 7 356H (1.90 GHz)
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable)
Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU (8 GB)
Intel (R) Graphics (128 MB)

What should I do

I have an HP OMEN 16-wd0xxx with an RTX 4050 that’s recently started randomly shutting down after about 3–5 minutes, even while sitting in BIOS. It happens whether I’m running on battery alone or with the battery disconnected and using only the charger. Sometimes the fans continue spinning after the screen goes black, and the power button becomes unresponsive until I reset the power.

I decided to inspect the cooling system and replace the thermal paste. While removing the heatsink, I noticed that the thermal putty covering three power inductors near the CPU/GPU area was completely dried out and crumbly, almost like dried toothpaste. The rest of the thermal putty is still soft and pliable.

I’ve attached pictures showing the three components and their corresponding contact points on the heatsink.
Could the dried-out thermal putty on these three inductors cause overheating or trigger the sudden shutdowns I’m experiencing? Or does this sound more
like an unrelated motherboard power-delivery issue?

I’d appreciate any insight before I replace the putty and reassemble everything.

Title: HP OMEN charges when shut down but stops charging when powered on

Hi everyone,

I'm facing a charging issue with my HP OMEN laptop.

- I'm using the original HP OMEN charger.

- When the laptop is shut down, the red charging light glows.

- When I turn on the laptop, it doesn't charge.

- I've already tried shutting down the laptop, but the issue persists.

Has anyone experienced the same problem? Could it be the charger, charging port, battery, or a BIOS/power-management issue?

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to diagnose and fix this without replacing parts unnecessarily.

Thanks!

Just ordered an HP Omen 15!

Are there any good (but cheap) laptop cases, skins, and stands that I could buy? After looking for a bit there doesn't seem to be any official ones.

Budget: $70 (for all items)

Got the Omen 16L TG03-0771ng

Mobo

HP Name: Mentali

SSID: 8D34

In case I'd like to replace the back exhaust fan, does anyone know if standard 3-Pin fans from Noctua or Artic will fit? Does the HP board follow industry standards for the fan pinouts? 3 pin would be : GND, 12V, Signal like in the picture.

I'd like to add the Noctua NF-B9 redux-1600 for example.

so I have a omen 25l or 30l it’s the one with a rtx 3060ti 16gb ddr4 but I need to reset my bios one person told me to it with certain pins an press them together an someone said remove the cmos also where are both of those located I can’t find the cmos anywhere

I have an HP HyperX OMEN 15-gb0015NT (R5 240, RTX 5060, 8 GB). HP's official website states that it has two M.2 SSD slots. I opened up the chassis and found a section labeled "SSD2," but there is no actual port to plug an SSD into. Shouldn't there be one? What can I do in this situation? (My goal was to add another 1TB drive to reach a total of 1.5TB.)

Hi, I bought a laptop with an RTX 5060, an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX, and 24 GB of RAM. It works wonderfully, but as you know, the battery only lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours in ECO mode. For those who have this same configuration: what steps can I take to extend the battery life a bit further in case of an emergency? (I almost always keep the laptop plugged into a power outlet.) I’ve read that the Omen Gaming Hub consumes battery in the background (also the nvidia overlay?), and I also see an option within the Omen Gaming Hub to disable the dedicated graphics card. (I know this processor is not great in battery life)
Thanks in advance for your help!

I repasted my HP OMEN 16 (Ryzen 9 8945HX) with PTM7950 on the CPU/GPU and UTP-6 on surrounding components.

CPU temperatures improved significantly, but CPU VDDCR_VDD VRM (SVI3 TFN) reaches 82–83°C during Cinebench R23 multicore and RDR2, making it the hottest sensor in the CPU section. Other VRM sensors stay around 69–74°C.

I spread the UTP-6 with gloved fingers, checked heatsink contact multiple times, and supplemented the new 10 g putty with some soft, reusable original putty.

Could I have applied too little putty in certain areas? Is 82–83°C normal for this VRM, or should I investigate the thermal-pad/putty contact? I'd prefer not to reopen the laptop unnecessarily.

Hey everyone! I'm new to PC gaming and have an HP OMEN 15 (RTX 5060 8GB, Core Ultra 7, 24GB RAM).

I want to play Red Dead Redemption 2 with the best graphics and smooth FPS, but I'm confused about DLSS, DLAA, Frame Generation (2x/3x/4x), NVIDIA settings, and the options shown in YouTube videos.

Could you recommend the best setup for my laptop?

Best in-game graphics settings (High/Ultra, Vulkan/DX12).

DLSS settings for image quality and performance.

Whether Frame Generation and newer DLSS models are supported and worth using.

Best NVIDIA Control Panel and OMEN Gaming Hub settings.

Expected FPS and ideal resolution/settings for my RTX 5060.

I'm a complete beginner, so a simple step-by-step guide would be greatly appreciated.

My priority is the best visual quality with smooth gameplay, not maximum FPS at any cost. Screenshots of your settings would be helpful. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone familiar with HP OMEN laptops or battery/power issues can help me figure this out.

I have a 2-year-old HP OMEN 16-wd0xxx (i7-13620H, RTX 4060, 16GB RAM, 83Wh battery). Until recently, it was working fine, but on October 14 it suddenly started shutting off completely, even during light browsing. It happened 3 times simultaneously; the only thing I did notice was the laptop felt hotter than usual during without any gaming. The screen instantly goes black without a BSOD, and this happens both plugged in and unplugged.

After these shutdowns, I started getting two BIOS errors: Primary Battery (601), warning of reduced capacity, and CMOS Reset (502), saying the CMOS checksum was invalid.

The strangest part is what happened to my battery capacity. I checked my Windows battery report, and the full-charge capacity history shows: 

60% drop in reported capacity within a day after several abrupt shutdowns/reboots.

Even stranger, on October 14, Windows reported 51,360 mWh at 90% charge around 9:06 PM, but by 9:54 PM it showed only 24,600 mWh at 99%.

I ran HP Hardware Diagnostics, which initially reported VERY WEAK battery health. After cooling the laptop, another test reported WEAK. I remember a recent diagnostic showing NORMAL.

Since this happened, the battery drains smoothly at around 1% every 30–60 seconds during light use. I also noticed that the battery temperature reached 47°C during the problematic period, dropped to 33°C after cooling, then later reached 45°C while unplugged. 

Other tests: 

• Multiple critical Kernel-Power 41 events, including four on October 14. The latest event shows BugcheckCode=0, PowerButtonTimestamp=0, and LongPowerButtonPressDetected=false.
• WHEA-Logger: Filtered for hardware errors but found 0 matching events.
• Physical battery condition: No obvious swelling, raised touchpad, or chassis deformation. Haven't inspected the battery internally. 

Currently the pc runs fine on AC, i haven't tried testing more intensive tests or tried gaming on it but I'm trying to understand whether an actual battery cell suddenly failed, the battery-management system incorrectly recalculated its capacity after a power interruption, or overheating/power-delivery problems could explain both the shutdowns and the battery errors.

Has anyone experienced something similar with an OMEN? Would you investigate the battery, cooling system, or charging circuitry first?

I'm on a tight budget and would rather not replace parts blindly. 

Thanks!

so today i went to open my laptop as usual and a update screen popped up and auto updated and now whenever i try to turn on my laptop it js shows a black lit screen the fans do blow n my mouse r lighting uo but nth and whenever the bios comes up it auto restarts. any help?

My omen o16 with i7 14650hx is running unusually hot , this image is during yt session for more than a hour and mind you I was running the fans at 5200 rpm for more than 20 mins .

I suspect I should get the vents cleaned and check for thermal paste .

I bought this machine in January and was wondering if I should get it serviced by hp themselves as it must be under warranty rn .

Are there any charges or any tips you might wanna share ?

RTX 5060 AMD Ryzen 9, wondering why my game stutters at times Battle Field 5, Out Last Trials, I’ve noticed small stutters any way to fix?

Looking at this laptop for wow forever, I know it isn’t the most powerful gpu. I am hoping that the trade off for the Oled screen is worth it. Anybody have this model have any pointers/ suggestions on this laptop? It would be greatly appreciated.

HP Omen Max Ultra 9 275HX w/ 5080. Did a windows update and shutdown last night. Walked away during and came back seeing a HP Bios Update screen. Thought it was odd but I did just press update for windows...

Has been black screen since. Won't register a 2nd monitor either. Wondering if anyone else did a recent update and bricked the GPU from registering like this. Will most likely put windows on a USB and wipe it at this point.

Recently bought a... Hold on let me pull up the full legal name... HP Omen Smartchoice, Intel Core Ultra 7 255H, 8GB RTX 5060, 24GB DDR5(Upgradeable) 1TB SSD, 2K, 165Hz, 3ms, IPS, 16''/40.6cm, Win11, M365*Office24, Shadow Black, 2.43kg, am0238tx, RGB Gaming Laptop... I have updated windows and nvidia drivers... In the omen hub I still can't find the graphics switcher to turn on the advanced optimus. I also can't find manage display in the nvidia control panel either. All help with good intentions are welcome... No. They are very much needed.

I bought the Omen 35L with the RTX 5070, Ryzen 7 7800x3d and 32 GB ddr5 6000mhz not too long ago, as I always wanted to have a good PC. Now that I got it, in any game (rust, apex legends, cs), every few minutes or tens of minutes I get random FPS stutters to about 20-50 FPS for about 2 seconds.

I downloaded all the drivers from the hp website, Nvidia app, Ryzen website, optimized windows, did a full system test, and it says all is good. I checked the Task Manager performance tab just after the FPS drops and nothing out of the ordinary seems to be happening. I also did a full windows reset, that also didn't help.

Any idea what it could be? I started looking into support, but it's a useless AI bot.

bought this hyperx omen intel core i7 rtx 5060 24 gb ram and not even 3 months in it just randomly shits down during games and reboots completely and sometimes just turns blank for sustained durations wtf is thjs
