Hello,
So I've had my laptop for a while now and its all been running smoothly, well after the whole overheating problems it suffered from at the start but sent it back and the nice people at pcspecialist fixed it
.
But now I'm having some strange problems with the power supply and charging it while its turned on. Basically I'll plug it in and for a few seconds windows will register it as charging, then after a bit it will stop registering it as charging and all the LEDs start blinking at me. I can just take it out and plug it back it and that seems to make it charge again but eventually it decides to just start blinking at me again.
I've changed the power plan to power saver and that seems to have improved it but it still happened while I was typing this. It seems to charge fine when turned off. I've currently got a mouse and a cooling stand plugged into the USB's and they pretty much always are. I've never noticed it had this problem until today.
Also not sure if you need it but I've learnt that its normally best to provide as much info as possible when reporting problems so I use the laptop mainly for the internet but I do occasionally play games on it(left for dead, portal 2, neverwinter nights 2 online, morrowind) and I've never had any problems running them.
