Hi!
One of the gpu fans in my laptop started making chirping/friction sounds. Unfortunately I wont be able to get the laptop back to the reseller for repair for a while so my temporary fix was to disconnect the faulty fan. Since disconnecting it I have experienced random shutdowns. I believed it to be overheating issues but thermals don't show anything out of the ordinary (gpu temp has been as low as around 50 on shutdown). A few times the mb speaker started beeping before shutdown, but ussualy it was just abrupt without warning or error. The windows event viewer shows error 41 (kernel.power) which is not very informative. The shutdowns have happened both under load but also right after startup.
Am I missing something here? Can the laptop be overheating in areas that dont show up in hwinfo? Can disconnecting the fan cause issues other than overheating? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
