I've had a similar experience. One I opened my old (now sold) Lenovo Flex 10 (Small, touchscreen laptop running windows 8.1) to try to repaste it. It had a similar passive cooling solution. It had thermal pads which transferred heat to the metal plate. I tried replacing the dried up pads with some paste, but it didn't start afterwords (or turned off after flashing). Turns out, the pads not only transferred heat, but also prevented the metal plate from shorting the pins on motherboard. I think in your case, since you dropped it, maybe the plate twisted (since there isn't much to provide structural support inside the laptop) and now it is somehow making contact with the motherboard. I'd suggest checking that. If your laptop had some sort of shortcircuit protection, it would be fine.. Otherwise its probably dead.

Gah damn that thing is empty. Is the storage soldered or something? O_o

Ah, I'll look out for it and update

The crash errors are always those vlogmr ones. Always after a BSOD, they are present. These are the temps of my ssd under some load.

1. My C drive has 52GB storage left. My system has 8GB RAM. 2. Page file is system handled. 3. Hm, but why is it happening all of a sudden? I've had this laptop for like 3 years now. Also, is the temp situation okay? It is still constantly touching 90+ C in temps.

I dont have minidump at the location you mentioned.. I'm on windows 11 if that helps..

Update: Even when running a 100% load on CPU (ml code) the temps stay under control. But just before this, I was downloading some files and got consistent alerts for 90+ C temps.. Like bruh

So my laptop, Asus Vivobook 14 M413I has been having BSODs on the regular out of nowhere. I tried looking at event viewer after crashes and found this: A critical event which is ALWAYS after the error event. I've searched online for the issue and nothing has worked. sfc scans, drive health checkup, etc. I started HWinfo64 to check for some other issues and found that my CPU is reaching 94.8C occasionally. I set alarms for when it does cross 90C and it is like a pattern. Sometimes it will regulalry cross 90C and stay around there, other times it will chill at 57C or something. My laptop is out of waranty and I've no good experience with the service center as well. I'd rather troubleshoot it on my own unless some major soldered component is giving up :< My thinking is that, is the CPU reaching 95C and shutting down? If so why is windows not throttling the CPU? OR is windows throttling not working at all? Also, I noticed Thermal Throttling (PROCHOT EXT) is set to True. I've attached all images below.

Haha, looks good. Keep that damn monster away from the controller tho

Yea, I'm stopping it. Mining is fking taxed 30% in my country. Thank you for your time. Seems like no passive income for me

@Origami Cactus@Dukesilver27- As I mentioned, I'm not mining on a GPU. Damn I don't even have one. I am just running the CPU miner on NiceHash when I'm not doing any intensive task on my PC for any passive income possible. It is mining BTC.. Should I stop that too? Sorry if this is stupid, but I dont know anything about mining.. Thanks!

Just to get it out there as early as possible, I'm veery new to mining and I know what I'm doing is barely profitable or not profitable at all Just doing it for some possible passive money I'm running NiceHash miner on my overclocked Ryzen 3 2200G (3.9Ghz CPU, 1.3GHz iGPU) and I tried running it on both, got a profitability of 0.00070mBTC (Electricity cost set to 0) and a H/s of around 300-400 on my CPU. When I disabled my iGPU, the H/s went to 1100.5 and now I'm getting a current profitability of 0.00125mBTC. I've set [--cpu-priority 2 --threads 4] Huge pages, 1GB pages unavailable (I dont know what that means O_o) I've heard GPU mining is more profitable. Is it because I've an iGPU? Should I just keep the iGPU disabled? I run it when I'm using my PC to watch videos, do some browsing, word stuff, etc. Thank you!

Sorry for mentioning y'all, but I need some more help. As @Kilrahmentioned, I tried AATU. I set the TDP, long and short boost to 20W. This is my config: When I started playing, I noticed drop in performance after around 30 mins. I opened up HWINFO64 to check clocks and power usage and the battery section caught my attention. I saw charge rate at -3.4W at load when I was plugged in! Should this happen? My laptop has a 45W charger, and I dont think 20W taken by my APU will force the rest of system to drain my battery. Battery was at 80% when I started and went to 78 when I noticed... Here's a screenshot I took later.. I had to restart HWINFO64 cuz I closed it accidentally.. Thank you! @Shimmy Gummi@DreamCat04

Whats AATU? Also, does Ryzen controller work on asus vivobook lineup? I saw somewhere something about undervolting laptop APU can help with thermals and overll performance... Is it worth it?

So, below is screenshot of a quick run of Cinebench R20 on my Asus Vivobook 14 equipped with a Ryzen 5 4500U. The charger is of 45W: Looking at the CPU package power, it was 30W max. So I assume 30W is the TDP of my processor? As per AMD is should be 15W, but OEM can configure it from 12-25W. Also, I've noticed that my CPU and iGPU can stay at much higher clocks at 70C (quite reasonable eh?) but drops quite significantly in longer loads (like you cans see here, at 14W) Any way I could make it not do that? Thank you!
