So, last week I was playing Far Cry 5 and I was streaming it on discord to my friend.
After about 2-2,5 hours my screen started to flicker then froze and my keyboard, mouse, headphones got disconnected.
Then I tried to restart my computer to see if it starts with no problem, but it ddin't even start. When I pressed the start button it stered then immadietly shut down and it was doing it again without pressing the power button. Then I took it apart disconnected the battery so it does not start and shut down on it's own. I tried to reconnect the battery then start it, but it did not start, so I disconnected the battery agian and took out the RAM stick and tried to start it.
It did not give any display, so I left it for the night unpluged and shut down.
The next day it gave display, and was working with the RAM stick I left in it because it is integrated into the motherboard.
So it was working, I was watching a video with my friend and I was streaming the video on discord (in order to not get any delay while watching the video). After about 5 minutes my screen sterted to flicker and froze again like I mentioned earlier. So I restarted my computer and hoping for it to start. It started and it did it for a few times. Then I started my external laptop cooler (2 140mm fans under my laptop) because at this point I was so hopless that I did not have any other ideas. The problem went away.
So I was playing CoD MW3 due to its low requierments untill I got to the level named Stronghold I got this flickering and freezing problem again and not only in CoD, I got it while playing Stalker and even while playing Puppet Show. And I even get the problem while using anything in any time it might come after 5 minutes or it might not come , but it more likely come after 5 minutes and if I am lucky it does not repeat if I'm not it will repeat.
So this is the full story I think to get to the answer you have to know the full story that what happened, but pretty much I don't know what is the problem know, after all the troubleshooting I did.
I hope I can get an answer, have a nice day.
Best regards
