Hello all. I have an issue that just started recently.
This has only happened during playing a game. The first game it happened on was Battlefield 1. Now, I played in the beta and for a bit after launch and never had this issue then all of the sudden one day the laptop just powered off. It would not turn back on until I cracked the back and pulled the motherboard battery out and put it back in. About an hour later, same thing. So I stopped playing Battlefield 1 thinking maybe a patch or driver was needed.
I played many other games after that with no trouble and then then over this past weekend while playing Overwatch the same thing happened again. 3 times in a row. This time I let it sit overnight, and even then I could not turn it back on without removing the motherboard battery and putting it back in.
Doesn't seem like heat would be it because other games which are just as intensive don't do this. Plus I have played these games without problems. And in the case of Overwatch, since launch without problems.
The Laptop is:
Toshiba Qosmio
2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB Ram
NVIDIA GeFore GTX 770M
To be specific:
1: Playing game.
2: Full power off (Only light from computer is the fact that it is plugged in light.)
3: Computer will not power on. (Doesn't matter if I wait 30 seconds or overnight, will not power on.)
4: Remove the battery from the mother board.
5: Put the battery back in the motherboard.
6: Boots as normal (Prompted to enter a date and time first, then boots as normal.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
