Hello, 2 weeks ago I've bought this nice laptop and I'm having some trouble with it.
When I received it, it would overheat and the fan would refuse to turn on. I was prepared to RMA it, but after a restart the fan turned on and has worked properly ever since.
Or at least I thought so.
Yesterday I loaded up a game for the first time and the fan abruptly shut off. I don't know why.
I've been testing and testing and it turns out that the fan doesn't seem to have an issue. I can ramp it up to 100% manually.
The trick is that I loaded a game with the fan speed at 100%. The temps obviously started rising, and around 70 degrees the fan suddenly shuts off. After this happens the fan becomes unresponsive and I can't change its speed no matter what I do. It just refuses to turn on until the laptop cools down.
What is this? I can't figure out if this is a hardware or software issue, what do you guys think? I mean the fan seems to be working when the laptop is cool. But it stubbornly refuses to function once the laptop is hot.
