r/HPVictus

This has happened mostly playing Bf6, I know it's a pretty demanding game but I have low quality graphics and frame rate capped.

Today, my pc shutted off twice while playing. This has happened once before a couple of days ago but I just started playing again and nothing happened, until today. I'm monitoring my temps and they do get quite high (86-88°) but I never let them go over 90. Is it still too hot? Am I frying my pc?

I've had this laptop for exactly one year now. Should I clean it and repaste it? And is it something that a beginner can do? (I've opened a computer once and got the CPU then but it back together with no problems)

So 2 weeks ago one of my best friends gave me his laptop so I can use it to play games for awhile since my hp laptop just sucks. It's an hp VICTUS with AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS with Radeon Graphics, 8GB ram and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card with 477GB of storage. He told me he could give it to me for 35k INR, that's close to at least 365 USD. I'm not a rich guy or anything but I know I can't afford a good laptop at least not until college and this seems like a good deal but I am in fact asking for advice, is this a good deal or nah?

I always see posts that say victus is not good at all and some say that good and some say it starts to be bad after 2 years so i want to know the ultimate review or some one list the pros and cons of it

Hall sensor failed on me 🙃 it's been a nice 2.5 years

Luckily though I had an extended warranty, let's try my luck though I'm abroad for a month more so I have to disconnect the sensor for now

Fellow victus 16 victims, how did y'all deal with this issue?

It's new so it definitely can't be thermal throttling. Temps are also fine, I have monitored it (this happens even at like 70 degree celcius)
Set frame limits on my games
Set windows to best performance
Updated graphics drivers, updated windows, everything
Disabled hp agent one in services.msc
Uninstalled a bunch of bloatware
Closed literally every background app

And it still doesn't get fixed.

Hp customer care is also useless on this topic.
It's weird because sometimes it automatically gets fixed on its own and remains good the entire day, until the problem returns the next day. It seems almost random at this point, I just can't figure out the source of the problem.
Please help

My laptop is this:
HP Victus, Intel Core i5-14450HX 14th Gen, 6GB RTX 4050, 24GB DDR5(Upgradeable) 512GB SSD, FHD, 144Hz, 300 nits, 15.6''/39.6cm, Win11, M365* Office24, Mica Silver, 2.29kg, fa2382tx, RGB Gaming Laptop

hi i use my victus 15 (16 gb ram, 3050, i5) mainly to work on Models for Projects in Blender. Ive had my victus for 3 years now and i feel like over the years it started struggling with rendering (30-40% longer sometimes). I feel like more ram would help. Thoughts?

I had an older model hp victus. I always had different types of issues with it and 2 weeks ago the motherboard fried through the surge protector. I decided to buy a new one and today I closed the screen and went to open the screen and it was just black but the power button was on. I tried to power cycle it and now the power button is just blinking on and off. Nothing is happening. Tried so many different things like removing the battery completely and still it’s the same thing. I am so frustrated with this dogshit brand of laptop I will never buy another one. Only reason I got another one was bc of a sale where I got it half off at 650. This thing is literally 2 weeks old. I am so frustrated!!!!!

I don't understand why my normal hp victus 15 with 16gb of ram, rtx 3050 4gb vram is having so much issues with WhatsApp desktop version. I takes an eternity to load and sometimes it just doesn't load up, I've deleted and reinstalled it so many times and still the same issues. Is that normal?

Also I now have a dual boot system with linux if that might help.

I bought the hp victus Ryzen 7 260 24 gb ram 1 tb SSD rtx 5050 but everywhere I see a post or anything about it almost everyone criticizes it for eg even in Instagram I saw a few reels and in the comments every one was saying that it was a bad choice bad build bad blah blah and idk I'm confused and I'm rethinking my choice 😭😭

Is it really that bad😭

Btw this is my first gaming laptop so idk is it good

Hi everyone,

I have an HP Victus (Ryzen 5 5000 series, bought in 2021). During oct'25 , after a normal gaming session, I unplugged the AC charger and the laptop instantly died. Since then, it only works as a desktop (plugged in) and turns off, when power is cutoff.

• The Symptoms:
  • Booting gives a Blue screen with "Primary Internal Battery (601)" error.
  • The charging LED blinks red/amber continuously, battery is permanently at 0%.
  • HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (Windows) fails the battery test instantly, stating: "Logic State: NOT AVAILABLE" and "Charge State: NOT AVAILABLE".
• What I've Tried:
  • 60-second static flea power drain (Failed).
  • Updated the BIOS to the latest version (Failed).
• My Context: This is actually my second battery failure. The original battery died a year after purchase and was replaced under warranty. I understand gaming heat degrades batteries, but I want to know:
  1. Has anyone else faced the mentioned issues. Did anything besides a hardware replacement fix it?
  2. If replacement is mandatory, what was the total cost for an original HP OEM battery in India recently? (Authorized vs. Local 3rd party)
  3. How many days did it take for the part to arrive and get installed?
  4. Things to know about replacement if thats the only path forward
• Thanks in advance!

I bought my laptop approx 2 - 3 months ago, last week I saw few ants coming from laptop and then it all went away when I placed it on a table at my classroom. I don't even keep it outside for a week (I took it out of bag and sleeve only while using ) again today when I left it at table for 30mins when I went out for dinner ants 20-30 are coming from an end near exhaust fan and from numpad mainly. Till now after seeing everything all I did was keeping cloth spread with vicks near exhaust so that ants will repel away. I never even eat anything near my laptop. I am from poor background this laptop is for my coursework and we can almost never afford to buy this again if something happens. Anyone help me please
