Hi @Kevinthehotdoge,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your HP Omen 17 laptop is experiencing a significant drop in performance after overclocking, here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Check for Overclocking Issues

Reset Overclocking Settings:

• If you used software to overclock, reset the settings to default. This can be done through the overclocking software you used or through BIOS/UEFI settings if applicable.

Reboot into BIOS/UEFI:

• Restart your laptop and enter BIOS/UEFI settings (typically by pressing a key like Esc, F2, or Del during startup).
• Ensure that any overclocking settings are disabled or reset to default.

2. Update Drivers and Software

Update Graphics Drivers:

• Go to the NVIDIA website to download the latest drivers for your 4080 GPU.
• You can also use NVIDIA GeForce Experience to automatically update drivers.

Update System BIOS/UEFI:

• Check HP’s support website for any BIOS/UEFI updates for your model.

Update Windows:

• Ensure your operating system is up to date by checking Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.

3. Check for Thermal Throttling

• Use monitoring software like HWMonitor, MSI Afterburner, or HWInfo to check CPU and GPU temperatures.
• Ensure that the laptop’s cooling system is functioning properly. Dust buildup can affect cooling performance.
• Consider using a cooling pad to help with thermal management.

4. Check Power Settings

• Go to Settings > System > Power & sleep and ensure that you are using a high-performance power plan.
• Check BIOS/UEFI settings for power management features and ensure they are set to maximum performance.

5. Run Diagnostics

• Run built-in diagnostics from HP Support Assistant or restart your laptop and press Esc to access HP Diagnostics.
• Perform tests on the GPU and CPU to check for hardware issues.
• Look for any error messages or warnings in the diagnostic reports.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
