ASUS laptop TUF Dash F15 from 2021 with GPU issues.

Hi,

This inquiry is about a ASUS laptop TUF Dash F15 from 2021 and not a ASUS desktop or stationary computer.

Not only do I have a small issue with the ASUS logo of not showing up in the BIOS and start-up, but the whole BIOS with UEFI EZMode is the same as well of not showing itself. It's something that has been going on and off sometimes, or for a while that actually started to be an issue in December last year 2023. This was after a BIOS update I never had control over and that came from ARMOURY CRATE. Usually when I'm pluggin in the power supply these settings will change just a little, but it's not optimal and just very annoying.
It seems like the display of 60 hertz are constantly adjusting itself through ARMOURY CRATE or BIOS and overriding Windows display settings by not really saving that on 60 hertz, even if that is shown as the settings and for both diplay adapters intel and NVIDIA. This is happening in the start-up as well with suddenly 144 hertz instead of 60 hertz.

So this laptop is not even compatible with 144 hertz. It's so awkward and frustrating to have this issues going on when I have done every single little detail of changing the settings by letting 60 hertz to be on permanently. And I know for a fact that this staggering garbage happened after this BIOS update in December last year 2023.
I can't see the BIOS as well so that I actually can verify this for myself if the hertz is 60 or not. But it doesn't seems like it's on 144 hertz when the display is not showing up in the start-up with the ASUS logo or BIOS if I want to look on that.

I'm clueless here....

Since your laptop may be out of warranty, you might consider connecting an external monitor to see if you can project the laptop's display onto an external screen, and then make adjustments to the refresh rate. Sorry for any inconvenience it may be caused.

Why do you even think about warranty. You already know the laptop is from 2021 as I've already written.
I have also already connected the laptop to an external monitor and when I usually work in front of my laptops in that way. That works fine and that's not the case. The issue is basically in the BIOS when the laptop is starting up, before the hard disk boot.  
The refresh rate or hertz have been changed by overriding or ignoring the settings between Armoury Crate, BIOS and Windows. The settings are correct in Armoury Crate and Windows at the moment and after a few adjustments I've done so many times over and over again, for a very long period of time.
But after foolish and unnecessary update that comes all the time and as I don't even need then this annoying issue happens. So since December last year after a BIOS update came from Windows update or Armoury Crate as I couldn't ignore, BIOS updates was automatically downloaded and pending for installation. It was already too late to decide if I wanted to update the BIOS or not. So a BIOS update is full of bugs and planned issues from ASUS developers. Of course it is like that. People can't have their ASUS products longer without issues than what ASUS decides. Of course one has to buy something new all the time after every fifth year or so because of this salacious business by ASUS products. Development and consumption hand in hand.

And do you know what? The first ASUS laptop I bought was in 2006. An A7Jb model that I still have today.
The only issues I've had with that laptop in 18 years is a hard disk crash and the battery is not very good at the moment. Also a power supply replacement. Knock on the wood. But now in more modern times in general the ASUS products are in much lower quality than it use to be 18 years ago. That is sad.
