    PCSPECIALIST Octane VI 15.6

    I don't think the CPU (i9-9900K) or the GPU (2080RTX) are integrated on the motherboard but yeah - I mean it can be anything due to overheating as these desktop component do get really hot

    PCSPECIALIST Octane VI 15.6

    I did have it regularly cleaned inside, so fans + vents were always clean from any dust. Plus it was always on top of a cooling stand with a decent fan. Hadn't repasted CPU/GPU or anything else though. I would have generally expected the GPU or the CPU to be the first to go from overheating and...

    PCSPECIALIST Octane VI 15.6

    4.5 years later the laptop will be put to rest with an unrepairable (& no spare parts) motherboard, after spending the last (almost) 2 months with pc-specialist support. What a disappointment :-(

    PCSPECIALIST Octane VI 15.6 bootloop

    ... so many months later and after pc-specialist have had the laptop for almost 2 months, the motherboard has been deemed un-repairable and there's no spare part available so my 2k+ 4.5 years old rig is now useless. What a disappointment :-(

    Does that have anything to do with the BIOS chip though?

    I think the BIOS is corrupted. What happens in that case?

    The laptop doesn't boot so there's no F2 accessible or anything. @SpyderTracks I've not serviced it, no.

    Faulty battery replaced and haven't had any issues since then!

    PCSPECIALIST Octane VI cannot restart on battery

    Unfortunately, turning off fast startup did not help :( On the 3rd reboot the laptop turned itself off and was unable to power up again. I also noticed that the same happens every time I exit BIOS settings, always on battery only. Taking the battery out and then putting it in after a few minutes...

    PCSPECIALIST Octane VI cannot restart on battery

    Fast Startup is related to the shutdown process, on reboot windows always initialises everything. Additionally, the inability to power up shouldn't have anything to do with windows settings as it's not controlled by the OS at such an early stage. I'll give it a try anyway though :)
