Yours is thus the second KDE distro I am trying

I first tried Manjaro KDE which ran beautifully in standalone laptop mode, but despite forum help over a period of months, I just could not get it to work with my second monitor which was a real productivity killer Windows and previous Gnome distros have no issues detecting the dual display The laptop is connected to a Dell monitor via a Toshiba Dynadock and I have been using this set-up for around 3 years now I have an HP Omen gaming laptop which I think has hybrid Intel and nvidia GPUs (sorry if I articulated this badly as I am not technical) Same again when I tried recovery mode so I am unable to boot the OS at all at present When I rebooted, it froze about 10 seconds in So somewhat recklessly it now seems, I went into the software tool and selected some nvidia options (dock, bumblebee) and applied However, I noticed my second monitor was not detected I downloaded and installed today with default options (aside from region) and the 'Noveau' driver I fancied trying KDE again having left it years ago

When I reached 'Power', it fixed two issues and my problem with Driver Power State Failure stopped.I have returned to Tumbleweed after a number of yearsįor the past few years, I have been using Gnome based distros Start>Settings>Update & Security>Troubleshoot>Additional Troubleshooters>Clicked each and ran troubleshooter So just for the heck of it I tried a simple Microsoft troubleshoot. Tried some more stuff I found on the web (which didn't work) Ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Tried to go into safe mode (which I couldn't because of the Failure to shutdown/restart properly, it would not reboot into the safe mode selection screen)ĭownloaded BlueScreenView and saw that the issue file name was 'ntoskrnl.exe' I searched all the forms and websites to fix this issue.Ĭhecked Device Manager (if needing an update or a rollback. Whenever I pressed Shutdown or Restart, my computer would take 5-10 mins shutting down or restarting before I got the BSOD and my PC turned off. For the past few weeks I've been getting BSOD anytime I shut down or restarted my computer.
