I have an asus laptop it is randomly shutdowns suddenly and randomly accepts to turn on rather than immediately power off after I press the power button.
any help tracking down the reason of these shutdowns would be appreciated
update:
It started about 5 minutes now I could manage to open the windows event viewer
nothing suspicious but there's only 1 critical log in the system tree its details:
Source: kernel-power
event ID: 41
Description:
the system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first....
I had disassembled it but with no hope
I changed the thermal paste of the processor and cleaned all of it from dust(wasn't much)
I tried the HDD in another laptop and it is working fine
I tried to remove the RAM and try it in another slot and also didn't make any progress
I tried to reset the CMOS by removing the battery
I tried to power it on with/without/both AC adapter and the battery
I tried to reset it by pressing the power button for 1 min and turning it on with the battery only
any help tracking down the reason of these shutdowns would be appreciated
