Your gaming tablet is experiencing unexpected shutdowns.
Your gaming tablet is experiencing unexpected shutdowns.
I own an ASUS Vivobook laptop that frequently shuts down. The issue changes depending on whether I’m playing in a Fortnite match or simply turning it on. Previously, it could maintain 144 FPS in Fortnite and nearly hit a crash. The problem began after Fortnite chapter 5 was released and when I connected my monitor and keyboard. My CPU model is 4600h; although it’s a poor pairing, no PC should fail like this during startup. If anyone has advice, I’d really appreciate it. I’m already thinking about upgrading since I compete in Fortnite. I’ve restarted the graphics, removed unused apps, and run several virus scans using CrutialScan. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.
Explore how other titles perform. Test various graphics configurations and API options—new updates boost visual quality. Check if the system overheats; look for specific triggers. Keep an eye on temperatures. Ensure drivers are up-to-date. Play additional games to compare stability with Fortnite.
I’ve tried Minecraft and some indie titles, but they can crash sometimes. I’m not sure how to fix it properly. It might happen when I power it on or adjust the fan speed. I’ve considered using a laptop cooler, but I need guidance on updating drivers.
Troubleshooting laptop issues follows similar steps to desktop repairs, though disassembly takes more effort. If you can induce a crash, remove non-essential components and see if the problem persists. When it does, check the mainboard, CPU, or memory. If not, reattach parts one by one until the failure occurs again.
I might attempt to run in a game using a higher FPS limit, but only the items I already have—my monitor, mouse, and keyboard—are available.
Now I realize the problem might be hardware-related. The lag started when I didn’t have my mouse or keyboard, and it got worse even without them. On the same day, a new version of Fortnite with improved graphics was released, but other programs also became unstable. This laptop has been in use for under two years.
