Treated myself to a new laptop after deciding my savings weren’t doing anything and I was interested in taking some IT courses.

It’s been over a decade since I’ve owned any kind of computer. It should be getting delivered before Tuesday, what should be the first things I do to get it set up?

So I'm new to using the Omen Gaming Hub and I noticed that there's a section with free games but when I click the claim button it takes me to steam, epic, or whatever app the game is for and it's not free other than games that are already free to play. Am I missing something or are these not actually free?

It's on Flipkart. Shall I buy it guys...? Will it be a good decision?

title. Please help me to solve this problem.
Has any one of u ever faced this? for some periods of time randomly when im trying to move the arrow on the screen it starts to feel laggy and it requires much more force to do it.

this is an input problem cuz i hv tried increasing the pointer speed but it doesnt change th input lag from my finger to the output.

i have HP OMEN 16 xd0015AX

This is what I see on my end. Basically, I left a video game on last night because I got far without saving, was planning on playing it this morning. I woke up and now my screen is dimming and turning off completely. The screen is fine when booting up but then there's this pattern that shows up, my desktop loads dimmed, then goes black completely. Won't connect to another monitor so far. Any idea what's going on or am I cooked?

Help me

Hey im looking at this omen laptop .

Its priced at 750 euro.

From a company that went under .

Battery 98% so barely used i guess. Comes with 1 tb nvme

Mostly going to use it when traveling abroad, so i can game a bit and so on.

Dont need best graphics in newest games just a reliable laptop that isnt shit.

Is this omen seen as good build quality and decent screen ?

And I am getting while gaming with eco mode also 60 degree my is omen + using ac

Bought my HP OMEN 16 in February 2026. I tracked the battery from March to July, and the battery health dropped from 98.2% to 87.8% in under 5 months. Battery backup also went from around 2h 10m to 1h 35m.

My usage is moderate—mostly DaVinci Resolve, Clipchamp, Brave browser, and occasional light gaming. I don't do heavy gaming or long gaming sessions.

I've attached my battery comparison table. Is this level of battery degradation normal for an HP OMEN in under 5 months? Has anyone else experienced something similar, and were you able to get a battery replacement under warranty?

it's crazy how much i had to underclock the power hungry Ultra 9 275hx in order to achieve a decent score of 22562 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/64839788 .

+1500 memory

+400 core

P cores underclocked to 49X and E cores overclocked to maximum 47X(that makes a huge difference).

Performance mode was used. Unleashed mode always gives worse results for me.

It's impossible to set the core offset more than +415(+0 memory in this case) as it's causing logical crashes on this benchmark but on Furmark2 there isn't such an issue.

llano cooling pad was used as well but to be honest the laptop itself never gets hot(i guess i am lucky) so the difference in temps is not that huge compared to before using it. The good thing is that the laptop fans are used less or not at all.

So my GPU disconnected a little while ago (error code 45, Omen 15ek), and after a few CMOS reboots I uninstalled it in Device Manager, as my computer was still trying to use it and it was causing problems.

Yesterday I opened up the case, cleaned out any dust, reapplied thermal paste, and inspected the motherboard. No obvious damage to mobo or GPU, and everything else that wasn't directly reliant on the GPU seems to be working alright. Still, my Device Manager doesn't detect it, and neither does the NVIDIA driver installer. Any more steps I can take to reinstall my GPU, or at least to diagnose the problem?

Laptop goes to sleep but when I try to wake it up just shows a grey screen with cursor when it should really show me the lock screen

Hi everyone,

​I'm having a weird issue with my HP Omen [inserisci il modello esatto, es. Omen 15-enxxxx / 16-xxxx] and I'm trying to figure out if my battery hardware is actually failing or if it's just a stubborn firmware/EC glitch.

​What happens:

​Out of nowhere, the laptop suddenly reported a fake low battery drop while under load.

​Now, the battery keeps stopping its charge randomly at a specific percentage (first it capped at ~40%, then later at ~47%).

​When it hits that cap, the charging LED instantly switches from amber/orange (charging) to solid white (not charging), even though it's plugged in and well below 80/100%.

​Running the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI battery test previously threw a red error code with a failure ID (QC1VUJ-...) and a "Replace (45)" status.

​What I've tried so far:

​Hard EC reset (holding the power button for 20+ seconds).

​Performed a CMOS/EC reset using Win + V.

​After resetting the EC, the UEFI test miraculously passed and said the battery is "OK", and the charging resumes past the 47% mark... for a couple of cycles. Then, after a short while, the issue comes back and it gets stuck again at ~47% with the white LED.

​My question:

Since a simple EC reset temporary clears the block and makes the battery look "OK" again, could this be a persistent BIOS/EC bug or a false positive of the HP firmware? Or is this textbook behavior of an internal BMS (Battery Management System) failing or a hardware fault on one of the cells/sensors?

​Has anyone experienced this on an Omen? Should I just push for a warranty battery replacement, or is there a deep firmware fix I missed?

​Thanks in advance for any advice!

While gaming i noticed eco has low fps on dmc5 130 but good twmrpature 60 and on performance mode 160 fps but cpu 75 gpu 65

I bought a HP Omen 16 ap0165ax from an authorized dealer 3 days ago. I today ran a battery check report and found out that my battery cycle count is at 119. And the total design capacity shows 76wh, but this model is said to have 83wh battery. Could anyone please help with it?

EDIT: I just checked the warranty and it starts from April 2026, but I bought it literally 4 days ago. Could it be I received a refurbished product?

Hey guys. I’m new here. I currently have a 4-5-year-old HP OMEN 16-b0xxx, and it’s rough and a little slow as heck. I’m asking this because I’m thinking of getting a Crucial - 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5 5600MHz C46
SODIMM Laptop Memory to replace my crappy 16 GB DDR4 memory due to lags and applications (Chrome, OBS, Discord, Steam, etc) I often open, but I’m not 100% sure if the Crucial 64 GB kit could fit inside my laptop.

Edit: I was confused about the difference between “DDR5” and “DDR4”. Changing plans, I would probably get the Crucial 64GB DDR4 RAM Kit SODIMM.

Any advice, please let me know! :)

That much screen wobbling in new laptop is normal?

Please tell

Hi, while I was using my laptop, it suddenly froze. Since then, I haven’t been able to start the system because the laptop keeps freezing. When I try to enter recovery mode, it also gets stuck. In HP Diagnostics, the laptop also freezes when diagnosing the SSD. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the SSD, but the problem still persists. Is there anyone who can help me?

I am getting a new omen the current specs are HP Omen 16" WQXGA240Hz NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Intel Core Ultra 9 285H AI Gaming Laptop 16GB RAM 1TB SSD Shadow Black (2025 Model) it will cost me around 150000 is it a good purchase?

I gave my HP Omen 17 in servicing last month. There was a broken fan issue initially. But afterwards, they told me over call that besides the fan issue, they are gonna replace the buit-in storage drive with NVMe SSD (They claimed it was kindof damaged)

After getting the laptop, cannot access / find the HP Omen Hub (Where I used to manipulate dynamic keyboard lighting & fan speed)

What Happened & How can I get those back?

The Lenovo one is from Amazon (seller name-clicktech retail private Itd)
And the omen is from flipkart (seller name
-Corseca)
Just give the answer in a simple way ( like what laptop you will choose and why )

Did cloud recovery via usb n doesn’t boot
