SO here I was installing a new steam game excited to play and randomly my laptop just shuts down, the only thing left on was the battery charging light. The Laptop is an MSI GP60 2QF Leopard Pro. The AC adapter was plugged in at the time and had been all morning. My initial thought was oh must have been unplugged and I didn't notice. Wrong.
I switched outlets and still nothing, attempted to boot without AC plugged in.... nope... with AC and no battery... nope. So I left for 10 minutes.
Tried booting again... without battery and up it starts. I log-in and all seems well. I stick the battery in and it registers as charging. Curious right?
Five minutes late..BAM! Shuts down again exactly the same thing with no warning.... now I'm wondering if its the battery or the AC adapter? Or GOD FORBID the motherboard/RAM is fried... any advice for diagnosis or ideas on what this is? I'm living on a farm in the middle of nowhere in Australia so as you can imagine there isn't much else to do besides work... so I'm pretty heartbroken my laptops out of commission. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
