Problems identified
The maximum recorded temperature (99°C) seems to negatively impact the computer's processor performance.
Use common sense.
UserDiag tests the components by generating a certain load, but maybe your daily usage does not heat up as much.
Also check the temperatures during normal use (in your favorite game/software, for example).
If everything seems fine, there may not be a problem.
For comparison, this processor in other "long" diagnostics reaches 85°C on average.
However, if you think the temperature is too high and it shouldn't heat up that much, here are some tips:
- Depending on the overheating, simply opening the computer case may be enough.
- Otherwise, first check that the processor's cooling system (heatsink or AIO/water cooling) is working.
If everything seems correct visually but the problem persists, check that the cooling system is properly attached.
- To check the attachment, turn off your computer and open the case.
Remove the processor's cooling system, checking that it was properly attached.
Also check that the thermal paste was spread over the entire surface of the processor.
Reattach the cooling system by applying a pea-sized amount of thermal paste on the processor, then secure it properly.
Run a new diagnostic to see if the problem is resolved.
If the problem persists and you are unsure:
- Recheck that the cooling system is properly attached and in contact with the processor.
- In the case of an AIO/water cooling, check that it is not defective by touching the tubes, if one is hot and the other cold, for example.
- Depending on the choice of processor, it is possible that the current cooling is not sufficient depending on the usage.
- If you have doubts, do not hesitate to ask for help from a competent person.
Here are the details of the identified bad practices:
System modifications :
- The automatic driver search has been disabled (DriverSearching).
This can cause issues if you want to connect a new device to the computer.
Windows Update will not be able to automatically install or update drivers.
This might have been an oversight after using a tool like DDU to properly reinstall the graphics card drivers.
What to do about these bad practices? :
- This is not really ideal (but not the end of the world either).
Windows seems to have been modified by software/scripts or manually.
If you know how to correctly revert these settings to default, you can do so.
However, note that UserDiag does not detect all possible modifications.
You might be missing other system settings that have been changed.
There may be only a few modifications detected above, but potentially other things could have been altered.
If you have issues or if you prefer, you can always reinstall Windows properly via this tutorial.

Optional considerations
In a PC, it is recommended to install RAM sticks from the same kit only.
- If everything seems stable, ignore this advice but keep in mind that if instabilities appear, this could be the cause.
- If this configuration has crashes, instabilities, or if the XMP does not hold, try leaving only the sticks from the same kit.
The manufacturer certifies that the sticks from the same kit work together.
However, they cannot guarantee that sticks from different kits will work correctly together.
Mixing RAM sticks from different kits can potentially lead to system instabilities.
And this even if they have the same characteristics, brand, or reference.
Note: The above advice does not apply to PCs or sticks without an XMP (DOCP or EXPO) profile.
In this case, prefer using sticks of the same capacity and frequency, the brand or reference does not matter.
To enable the RAM's XMP profile (also called DOCP or EXPO), please follow this tutorial.
Note: If you cannot find the option in the BIOS and your PC is an OEM brand (HP Omen, Dell, Lenovo, etc.), it is possible that the option is not available.
You can download the update from the Nvidia website.

High temperatures can be a sign of:
- insufficient VRM cooling

- Sometimes, the retrieved BIOS version may slightly differ from the one displayed on the manufacturer's website.
Example: With an MSI BIOS, the retrieved version might be '2.B0' while on the website, the version is listed as '7D22v2B'.
- The retrieved BIOS date may also slightly differ by a few days/months from the one displayed on the manufacturer's website.

Boot mode >Boot modeBoot mode of the computer:
- Legacy (old mode)

TPM >TPMThe TPM is a component (physical module on the motherboard or emulated by the processor) that allows secure storage of information.
Specifically, it can store encryption keys, certificates, biometric data, etc.
For example, it is used to encrypt storage with BitLocker or unlock the computer with Windows Hello.
Some anti-cheat software for video games can also use it to confirm the integrity of the game and the system.Active
Secure Boot >Secure BootThis is a security option available in the BIOS.
Secure Boot ensures that the computer boots only with a verified operating system.
This setting may be required by some game anti-cheats (Valorant, FIFA).Inactive
Boot duration >Boot durationBoot duration is the time elapsed between pressing the power button and the motherboard returning POST OK (successful hardware check).
This can be useful for identifying a slow boot issue.
(long memory training in DDR5, for example).
A boot duration of around ten seconds is normal.
Note that this period occurs before Windows starts.
Applications that launch at Windows startup do not affect this duration.8s

Fast startup >Fast startupWindows Fast startup allows older computers to boot faster.
Sometimes this mode (enabled by default) can be the source of issues such as LEDs staying on, or crashes at startup with incompatible drivers.Inactive
Uptime >UptimeUptime is the time elapsed since the last Windows startup.
This information can be useful to determine how long it has been since Windows was last restarted.
Note that if Fast Startup is enabled in Windows settings, shutting down the computer will actually put it into a hibernation state.
Therefore, Windows only fully shuts down during a restart.
(by clicking on restart and not on shutdown)
As a result, you may sometimes observe high uptimes of several days, even if the computer is regularly shut down and turned on.
However, if Fast Startup is disabled, the computer will fully shut down during shutdown, and the uptime will be reset with each startup.26min
VBS >VBSVirtualization-Based Security (VBS) is a security feature in Windows.
Its purpose is to protect certain parts of Windows by isolating them from the rest. It may be enabled by default on compatible Windows 11 installations.
It can also be activated if core integrity in Windows Defender is enabled, when using WSL2, or other virtual machine-related features.
However, this feature may slightly reduce performance when enabled.
This option only protects against certain complex vulnerabilities. It will not protect you from a cryptocurrency miner or password theft, etc.
Microsoft advises gamers, if they wish, to disable this option. (More information)Inactive
Antivirus >AntivirusCurrently active antivirus on your computer.
Ideally, it is better to use something like Windows Defender, which is relatively effective and already integrated by default in Windows, or use a third-party antivirus of your choice.
However, it is advisable to avoid less recommended antiviruses like Avast, Norton, McAfee, Iobit, etc., which are known for collecting your personal data rather than protecting you.Windows Defender

PL2 / PL1 >PL2 / PL1Power Limits allow limiting the processor's power consumption to reduce the generated heat.
Example image (anandtech.com)
When these limits are reached, the processor will reduce its frequency to stay within the limit.
The purpose is to allow the processor to operate at a certain power level for a short period, then limit it a few seconds later.
Power Limit 2 (PL2) is the maximum power the processor can consume for a short period (a few tens of seconds).
Power Limit 1 (PL1) is the same but kicks in once the PL2 duration has elapsed.
By default, these are values recommended by the processor manufacturer and chosen by the motherboard manufacturer.
