HP Pavilion Gaming-15 Laptop turned off during use when plugged in and gaming.

Like the title says.

 

The laptop turned off randomly while gaming. I tried turning it back on but it wouldn't do anything, tried unplugging and plugging it back in and it gave no charging indicator.

 

I gave it some time and it started working again. So I play a game for a while and then it turned off mid-game.

 

It must've been a hour of use each time it happened, but the first time I had to wait overnight for it to start working again.

 

Another issue I've been having is the laptop wouldn't warn about a low battery before turning off like it used to. Perhaps it's the issue with the battery?

Sounds like overheating to me

I have extra cooling measures like a laptop cooler stand with fans.

 

However the other day I reset my under volt so that my components are set to run as they should by default.

 

This could be the culprit, however it's been a few hours since and the computer refuses to boot up or show indication of charging.

 

Once I can boot it up I will try returning to under volt like before the problem began.

Update: It has been 15 hours and it still refuses to boot.

I may have the final solution.

 

I opened up the laptop and removed the cable linking the battery to the board in order to make it boot up again.

 

I reapplied the undervolt and throttlestop settings. 

 

The laptop doesn't shut off anymore even after an hour of playing.

 

Safe to say, it's an overheating problem!

 

Unplugging and replugging the laptop battery also works to make it bootable.
