Yes just shuts off instant, as if I just yanked the power cable out, every time. It does usually only happen whilst gaming, but last night it happened a couple of times while the PC was starting or I was just browsing through settings. An overheating power supply, due to a malfunctioning fan, can cause a computer to shut off unexpectedly. If your BIOS monitors the RPM of the fans, enter the BIOS and make sure the BIOS does not report any errors. Software utilities, such as SpeedFan, can also be used to help monitor fans in your computer.

  • We have the 2 directx update.2 GHz Intel Core i5-5200U processor in ours, and that’s a 5th generation Broadwell CPU (Skylake 6th gen ULV CPUs aren’t out yet).
  • It’s hard to tell what is causing the problem without running some diagnostic tests.
  • Even so, try the power button a few times and double check to see that the monitor is actually supposed to be powered up before moving on.
  • The laptop’s configuration is suitable for comfortable work and “pulls” relatively modern games in native resolution with low graphics settings.

It’s a result of the thin build, but it shouldn’t be much of a problem through normal use, as the bottom and lid feel sturdier. The 13-inch Lenovo Yoga 6 (starts at $649.99; $949.99 as tested) looks unassuming, but it represents a strong overall package. Our configuration of this convertible laptop is reasonably priced for a Ryzen 7 CPU with 16GB of memory, delivering good all-around performance, especially for less than $1,000. The build is slim and portable, the battery life is remarkable, and the port selection is solid. There’s a little flex in the chassis if you press, and you might love or hate the distinctive fabric lid.

The Aero is a good alternative if the Yoga 7i is out of stock or its price has risen. The XPS 13 has a reliable fingerprint reader on the power button; it worked quickly every time we logged in. We do wish this laptop had a hardware switch or cover to disable the webcam when you’re not using it, like the HP Spectre x and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon have. Our pick includes the latest-generation Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 support, and like our other picks, it comes with a one-year limited warranty. Because we set each laptop to the same brightness, the results are directly comparable. If you have only about $500 to spend, check out our favorite cheap Windows laptop—though we suggest saving up for our budget ultrabook pick if you can.

It’s not uncommon for the water to seep into the device’s chips, circuits and wires, thereby causing aspects of the computer to malfunction. Commonly, such malfunctions are related to the screen not turning on or operating effectively, even when the rest of the machine is seemingly working fine. There are a few routes you can take to fix this issue. All these options are available via Recovery mode—not to confuse with the safe mode—and to enter it, you’ll need to press a few spell-invoking special buttons once again. Needless to say, they are of no use if your MacBook won’t load in the first place.
