Victus by HP Laptop 16-doxxx

[Talis1]

Good evening, everyone. I've had my HP Victus by Laptop 16-doxxx F.25 notebook for almost 4 years, but it's become impossible to do anything without it freezing or slowing down. Do you know how I can activate XMP and advanced mode? HP has blocked it, and it's affecting my notebook's performance. I don't care if it gets damaged; I just need it to work at its maximum capacity.

Hi @Talis1,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

HP does not provide options to enable XMP profiles or unlock advanced BIOS menus on Victus laptops. These settings are intentionally restricted to ensure system stability, prevent overheating, and protect components from damage. This is by design and cannot be changed through official HP methods.

Why HP Locks These Features

• Safety & Reliability: Overclocking memory or CPU can cause instability, data corruption, or permanent hardware damage.
• Warranty Protection: Modifying BIOS or forcing unsupported settings voids warranty and may brick the device.

What HP Recommends Instead

If your Victus is freezing or slowing down:

1. Update BIOS and Drivers 
   • Use HP Support Assistant or visit Official HP® Support.
      
2. Run HP Diagnostics 
   • Press F2 at startup → run System Tests for memory and storage.
      
3. Optimize Performance 
   • Switch to the High Performance power plan in Windows.
   • Clean temporary files and update Windows.
      
4. Thermal Maintenance 
   • Ensure vents are clear; consider cleaning dust or using a cooling pad.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
