Did your laptop just turn itself off suddenly, and was the power plug getting super hot?
First of all, I don't have any battery in my laptop because it stopped working back a few months ago, so I took out the old one completely now. My laptop stays plugged into power constantly. Yesterday, it started shutting down suddenly and then turning itself back on by itself. At first, I thought maybe memory RAM was the problem, but I swapped some spare ones from my old computer and that didn't help either. I checked the temperatures though, and they are all normal for me, usually between 80 to 85 degrees when gaming or 50 to 60 when resting. The most important thing is this: whenever it shuts down, I reach in right near where the power cable plugs into the laptop (the AC port) and feel really hot right there. After it restarts, it cools off a lot and isn't that hot at all. Sometimes it happens on its own, mostly when doing heavy things like playing games with intense graphics. Is this possible to be overheating? I don't touch or move the cable so the port itself isn't disconnected or moving around. What should I do to fix this? Could something inside my laptop have a problem? Or is the power adapter just broken and not working right? My computer is an Asus ROG.
You didn't tell me what specific laptop model you have from the Asus ROG line. There are so many different models under that brand. What year is it, and do I need to know which charger fits? Maybe you should think about getting a fresh battery instead of an old one.
Hi, hi! In this situation, take out your laptop's battery. Hold down the power button for 10 seconds until all electricity goes away, then put the battery back in and plug it into the charger. Turn on the laptop. You can run a stress test program like Everest to see how things work, while also checking the temperatures. If the laptop shuts down, check if the charger is hot. Maybe try a different charger and repeat the test. Usually, a charger gets hot when you don't have enough power for charging, so this isn't the problem here because your battery isn't being used. Just do some tests and try to update the BIOS settings and see what happens.
