My laptop shut down out of nowhere today, showed CMOS error, but is now working fine? What's going on?
Laptop : HP omen 15 Dh0138TX
Okay so an extended cut of what happened.
I was playing a game on my laptop called The Ascent, ran fine at 80+fps. No issues. Did the same last night, no issue. After playing the game for a while, I shut it down, opened up opera and started to watch some videos on YouTube. While I was watching videos my laptop just suddenly turned off. Not like a proper shutdown, but just a tak and boom, no light, no display. When I pushed the power button, no response, the battery charging light wasn't even starting up, the laptop was... Dead sort of.
I looked up a few articles, I disconnected the battery, tried just ac power. No luck. Did the reverse, just the battery. No luck. Then I did that power button holding thing for 1 minute and then plugged in ac, no luck. Then I just kept the laptop as it is, went to sleep.
Woke up like 3 hours later and now it's runs fine again??? It showed a CMOS checksum error 502 on the start, but told me to just reboot the computer. I did. And I am not getting that error anymore.
Now the laptop runs fine on battery and on AC power.
What exactly happened here? And should I be worried that it might happen again in the future?
Thanks for the help in advance!
