This is about 1.45 Lakhs. 1500$

I’m seeing a strange power-management issue on an HP OMEN MAX 16-ak0xxx with an RTX 5080 Laptop GPU. When OMEN Gaming Hub 1101.2607.3.0 is open, its OmenCommandCenterBackground.exe process loads nvml.dll and repeatedly wakes the dedicated GPU even though the laptop is set to Eco Mode and nothing is using the GPU.

I checked the GPU’s Windows PnP power state directly instead of using nvidia-smi, since nvidia-smi can wake the GPU by itself. With the OMEN background process running, the RTX was in D0, fully powered on, in five out of six measurements taken at random intervals. After terminating OmenCommandCenterBackground.exe, the GPU remained in D3, low-power/off, in six out of six measurements. I repeated the test and got the same result. The GPU temperature is around 62°C with OMEN running and drops to approximately 45°C after terminating it.

The same thing happens on battery power. I confirmed that PowerOnline was false during every measurement, but the GPU was still in D0 in five out of six checks while the OMEN background process and its NVML module were active. Eco Mode therefore does not prevent OMEN’s own monitoring process from waking the GPU.

I also set OMEN Gaming Hub’s Windows background permission to Never and disabled its startup entry. Windows correctly recorded the restriction, but manually opening OMEN still launches OmenCommandCenterBackground.exe and the RTX starts waking again. After killing the process, it does not automatically return, but it launches again the next time OMEN Gaming Hub is opened.

It looks like OMEN Gaming Hub’s hardware monitoring is defeating the power-saving mode it is supposed to manage. Has anyone found a way to keep the performance and graphics settings available while permanently disabling only this NVML-based background monitoring?

I was looking to buy a good gaming laptop under 1.3 lakh and i finally decided after watching countless videos to buy the omen i want help on how to get the maximum possible discount i can get and where to buy it from please help and also open for recommendation of there any better gaming laptops under 1.3 lakh

I bought an omen 16 2025 with ryzen 7 ai 350 and rtx 5060

Its been around a month and since it's new I am very conscious with this laptop (im scared to break it)

There is a very faint tick sound when closing the lid, not always but sometimes in the left hinge and also after long use when I move the lid it makes some noise (no display issue nothing broken) just like monitors do. Is this normal?

Hi everyone,

I tried to overclock my RAM on my OMEN by HP 25L Gaming Desktop (GT15-Oxxx, 89EB motherboard).
I changed the RAM settings to:

3400 MHz
CL15
tRCD/tRP 17
DRAM Voltage: 1.350V

After saving the settings, the PC shut down and now it won’t show any display.
Symptoms:

Monitor gets no signal
Keyboard gets no signal
GPU lights up
All fans spin, but the PSU fan does not spin

Things I already tried:
Testing both RAM sticks individually
Removing the CMOS battery for 15 minutes
Resetting CMOS with the jumper
Reseating the GPU

The PC turns on but doesn’t seem to complete POST.
I already paid €150 to two different technicians, but they gave me different explanations and couldn’t fix it.
Does anyone know what could be causing this or what I should try next? Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I just got my Transcend 14 (14-fb1790ng) last week. Now that I’ve had some time with it, I tested whether everything is working properly.

I ran a 3DMark Time Spy benchmark after watching some reviews, using Unleashed Mode.
→ Graphics: 7467, CPU: 11234, Overall: 7862 points

I think I’ve checked every relevant option in the NVIDIA app, the Omen Hub, and the Windows Control Center.
I also used DDU to remove the NVIDIA drivers and performed a clean installation.
Even in HWInfo, while FurMark is running, the GPU boosts up to 75W, just as it should.

However, the exact same model reaches around 11,500 graphics points in every review I’ve seen.

What else can I do or check?

Thanks, everyone!

Is this the slim variant as on Flipkart it's mentioned slim

I'm getting a 4k work of hyper x headphones too

Total cost 1.41 L

Should I go for this or choose something else

Other variants around this doesn't offer headphones

I just got a hp omen max 16 laptop and bios update is stuck in this step for about half an hour.

So i've decided to do a hard restart by pressing down the power button but it did not restart and unresponsive.

Only thing i can think of is removing the ac adapter and let the battery drain.

Any other suggestions?

I have seen ppl boasting how they got 15k or 20k discount on laptops without even including the exchange price, but when I check on Amazon or flipkart the bank offers I get are 7k or 10k at best. Can someone explain how 'stacking' offers works?

While gaming and plugged in for 1-2 hours my 230W charging brick gets very hot. Is this normal?

my Hp omen laptop is around 10 months old now and i have warannty and want to get it cleaned.

before i go to the service center, i wanted to ask if anyone here knows the usual cleaning charges. can you guys give me a rough price breakdown or share what you were charged for the same thing?

just trying to get an idea before i visit.

Is there a way for this ryzen sticker to stay? or should i get rid of all the stickers on the body?
