I tried 66mhz and 76mhz and it crapped out there so I reverted changes and now I can't get it to work again. I tried really hard to replicate what I did but can't. The only thing I did different was add it to the extension blocks portion but on trying that again, same result as before. At least I know it can work. Another thing I noticed is that the nvidia process crashes after I add something to CRU and restart.exe, nvidia also doesn't seem to launch on an actual restart either. When I'm hooked up to an external display and right click on the desktop, my normal "nvidia control panel" isn't listed and when I try and launch, it says there is no display hooked up to the gpu. I know the display is routed through the iGPU but it launches when changes are reverted. One more oddity is my external display goes artifacty after about a minute after I try a change and restart.exe even though I never made changes to that monitor in CRU (but the cursor is clear as day?!). I very much appreciate your help and time. You seriously rock!You're doing so many things at once that I can't make sense of what's happening when. First, run reset-all.exe and reboot. Then run CRU and choose the internal screen. Are there any extension blocks by default? Under established resolutions, enable 640x480 (or disable it if it's already enabled), and click OK. Then reboot (don't run restart.exe). Does that cause a black screen? If so, run CRU, choose the internal screen that you edited, and export an exe file. Then run the exe file and install the EDID. Then reboot. Does that still cause a black screen?
Sorry about that, just trying to get as much info down as possible. I see now that it can be less helpful if not organized
I don't want to take up much more of your time but I did try your new recommendations but still the same black screen. There are no extension blocks by default.
I'll try and organize.
Steps done after I reset everything and restart the machine and the laptop is hooked up to external monitor -
Open CRU, check box enable 640x480 for the internal display only (no changes made to external display). Close CRU, restart machine, get black screen as soon as it gets to the login screen. Second display is working but goes unreadable after about 30 seconds. Same thing happens when trying exe method (making sure to not accidentally save anything in CRU and only doing an export). In all permutations of testing, my nvidia control panel will not open or show in the right click context menu while any EDID override is in place (and thus my laptop screen being black). I have to reset-all and restart to get that back (and my display). It's like the nvidia driver is crashing but I don't get why because that shouldn't matter.
Anyway. Thank you for your time and support, it's extremely appreciated. I'll keep trying different methods trying to replicate that one time that I got it to work
