System Analysis

Your processor's power limits (PL1/PL2) appear to be set to an unlimited value. This means the CPU is allowed to draw as much power as it wants, with no enforced safeguard beyond what the cooling and voltage regulation can sustain. While this can unlock maximum performance, the processor may run hotter, consume more energy, and experience increased electrical stress over time.

This configuration is often applied automatically by motherboard manufacturers through performance-enhancing profiles. Even without any user changes, many boards ship with these limits effectively disabled by default.

We recommend reviewing your power limit settings in the BIOS or in the software provided by your motherboard. Restoring sensible PL1/PL2 values (typically aligned with the processor's rated TDP) can help lower temperatures, reduce power consumption, and extend the long-term reliability of your CPU.

Your graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060) is detected on the PCI bus, but no manufacturer driver is bound to it. Windows has fallen back to its generic display driver.

This usually follows a failed or interrupted driver installation, a driver removed by a system update, or a card fitted without installing its driver. 3D acceleration is unavailable on this card, so games and GPU-accelerated applications either fail to start or run on another graphics adapter.

Install the latest driver for this card: NVIDIA Drivers If a previous installation failed, uninstall the existing driver first, then reinstall.

The drive KINGSTON SA400S37120G has only 4% of its estimated lifespan remaining. At this stage, an imminent failure is possible at any time.

It is strongly recommended to back up your data immediately and plan a replacement for this drive as soon as possible.
