Welcome to the forums :smileyhappy:


It sounds like you have a motherboard issue, unfortunately?
Assuming you were/are able to keep it running long enough... have you run the diagnostics tests?

But given the nature of the problem, I'd suggest you need to contact tech support.
If it proves to be a motherboard problem, I hope your laptop is still under warranty, because they're not particularly cheap to replace!?
