Title: Laptop Shutting off.
Post by: Gnb_22 on December 13, 2015, 05:16:20 am
So my laptop doesnt stay on. It cuts off like an overheating problem but its not. I have opened it up cleaned out the fan and such but still the same. Initially after cleaning it usually stayed on for abit but then it went back to the same old. Fan seems to work fine so its not that it isnt cooling. At times after a long break it comes on but when as soon as I do processes that take up more recorces it cuts off. I'm not sure can someone help me out here. Its a relatively new laptop so i don't wanna get rid of it.

Temperature could be an issue, but since you didn't mention fans going crazy, I doubt that's it.

Did you monitor the temperatures with for example, OpenHardWareMonitor?

How new is relatively new and for how long has this problem occured?

Relatively new meaning 3-4 months. Doesn't stay on long enough for me to observe. Once I try opening programs it shuts off.

How far did you open it up? Did you remove the heatsink from the CPU and put it back without cleaning and setting new thermal paste?

You should probably talk to a experienced IT person or someone like that.

I think I had a similiar problem like this, it actually stopped after a IT reinstalled everything and checked my laptop.

And again I had the similiar problem like this after some time, but it stopped after a few days, and I didn't do nothing.

So best you can do is to talk to a IT.

Its not good keeping a lap on legs.
My heat issue solve used to be , to put a book , or anything else stable and high enough , to make the air flow. Just make sure that book dont block those holes

That was your issue, it doesn't mean every laptop has the same.
From what I read and personal experience, the issue must be 90% the integrated GPU. Happent to me once in past, new laptop 2-3 months old and had the same, fans rolling low-medium temps and random shutdowns.. You'd rather go for service (thermal paste on GPU block), or replacement because it might get worse. 10% it might be motherboard-power related issue.

This is probably the problem.. Many laptops get their GPU Kinda worn off after alot of heating/using So idk.

Repair i think costs around 50$-100$

Thats what i think, Do you like get to boot it up or it just instantly turns off?
Thermal paste maybe?
