I previously posted a thread here regarding random shutdowns occuring on my laptop when on high gpu load but nobody seems to know the answer so I just went ahead and tried to solve it on my own.
(What I Did)
I tried Stressing my GPU using GPU z and it would cause an instant shutdown but when I tried Furmark it would actually survive, I don't what's the difference between the two, why does this happen?
(Things to know )
on running GPU-Z stress test my gpu temps are normal but still cause my laptop to die.
on running Furmark stress test my gpu temps go up to 70 degrees but would continue running.
Laptop is an old G75VW that I'm trying to restore.
New MOBO
Tested each ram and clean their contact points.
Updated Drivers and BIOS.
PSU is about 2-3 yrs old.
CPU stress tests dont cause shutdowns and cpu temps are OK.
Tested using with Battery and No Battery.
Shutdowns occur when playing games or rendering on Unreal Engine.
Can someone help me?
