I think I’m dealing with a failing GPU. It started out weird—my screen would just go black and sit there flashing "entering power save mode" constantly. I thought maybe I had just bumped a cable since I was using an old one from a previous build, and swapping it actually fixed the display issue... for a moment. But then the whole system just shut itself down. When I tried to boot back into macOS, it wouldn't cooperate. After letting it sit for a while, it finally kicked back on, but now everything is stuttering. I'm seeing these annoying lags during web browsing, but it's most noticeable in-game—where it's absolutely crawling despite the counter claiming I'm getting over 200 FPS. This has never happened before, and I've only had this rig for about six months. Based on what I've read online, my gut says it's the graphics card... I'm just not sure if there's anything I can tinker with myself, or if I should just bite the bullet and take it to a repair shop.

Daniel James8 said:Sure, here’s a little recap for you:
The start—Fernando Alonso jumped up four spots, Lap 29—Daniel Ricciardo went off and crashed.
That’s really it...
Thanks God, what a night race—the spectacle, the skyline views😲... but the actual racing has been mediocre for five years straight. Still, I guess money talks, and there's plenty of it to go around...
Douglas Parker61 said:Sebastian Vettel being two seconds faster than the field in a single lap? That isn't just a superior car...
No, it’s his actual talent behind the wheel—for four years running now...☕ It's honestly a bit depressing to see someone basically steamrolling the competition like this for four straight seasons...
