I actually can't do any sort of overclocking on this laptop as I end up getting BSOD when I try to even change the settings. In BIOS, XMP is disabled. I did see the memory access violation last night and ran through a series of stress tests on memory, CPU, SSD, and both the integrated graphics and Nvidia, all tested fine.
Guess I'll be opening a ticket with Dell. It's just so strange that it only affects this game (so far). I know Sims worked fine on my old laptop so I didn't think there was a bug with the game itself but just something incompatible on my PC. I was hoping we could pinpoint exactly what, but I think there may be an underlying hardware issue here.
Thank you for all your help!
So you are saying you get a BSOD if you enable the XMP profile?
If so this support ticket is a good idea anyway. 👍
Yep, exactly. It is currently disabled and if I try to change it from either the Alienware command center application or directly from bios, it blue screens and then reverts the change back to disabled. Hopefully Dell will be able to diagnose and fix.
🤞 Good luck!
