Battery life, gaming laptop

[Tigran_1126]

Hello. When using a laptop, I noticed that the battery runs out extremely quickly. Why is this happening and how to prevent it? The laptop was bought relatively recently, a few days ago. Help.

How are you using the laptop so I know what is going on?

Are you gaming or watching streams with battery only?

How fast is the battery running out?

[Tigran_1126]

At the moment I use it mainly for surfing the Internet, I also install the most necessary programs. However, I do not play or watch streams. If you charge the battery to 100 percent and operate the laptop, doing the tasks I have said above, the laptop will last about 1 hour and 20-30 minutes, which is too little for him. Also, I do not use a laptop connected to the network, so as not to ruin the battery. I even downloaded the AIDA64 extreme program to monitor the status of the laptop, and in it you can find the percentage of battery wear, it shows 0% for my laptop. What do you think might be the problem? Maybe I’m missing some drivers, the battery indicators I have stated above are consistent with the minimum brightness of the display, so even saving energy does not help. I also have problems with the driver for the integrated graphics adapter, so this driver is not in the device manager, but there is only a discrete graphics card Nvidia Geforce gtx 1660ti. Help.

Integrated graphics card I tried to setup has a name "Intel uhd 630 graphic solution" for my processor.

I have problem else. I don't know which model of Intel core processor is in my laptop:

8750H or 9750H? In different places is written differently.

OK so only the necessary programs... But I would have no idea what those programs are unless you state them, right? 😉

Anyways, you cannot access switchable graphics with that system because that option only works with Omen laptops that use a GTX 1050 or ti.

Otherwise, about all I can suggest is you contact HP Support directly and ask them what they are willing do about it.

Contact HP Worldwide | HP® Official Site

If you go the This PC and right click and choose Properties, it will show you which CPU is installed. According to your specs, it should be the Intel® Core™ i7-8750H.

Hi Tigran_1126!

You can verify your CPU model in a Task Manager (see the picture down below, in my case it's Intel Xeon).

Could you provide name of your processor (including what's after @)

Could you tell me what is the CPU usage on idle?

What is the average clock speed?

Is there any thread of your CPU being saturated (100% usage)?

To view usage per-thread, right click on the usage graph -> Change graph to -> Logical processors

Phororay002, it means that I won't can install driver for integrated graphics card?

[MaPo31415]

It's just like the guy said, don't worry about integrated graphics drivers, your laptop is not using them anyways, this laptop does not support NVIDIA Optimus, but you have an access to G-Sync instead. This is not the cause of your problems.

What do you advise me to do to save battery power? I noticed that my laptop has AMI bios, it says in the windows settings that it is outdated. Can a BIOS update solve my problem? In addition, when installing OMEN Command Center, an inscription appears stating that your version of the BIOS is outdated and that this can adversely affect the operation of the program.
