    When I plugged in, he stopped suddenly for food use and no longer wanted to work
    In the bios and on windows I only have 4 gb of ram in single chanel displayed in the setup but in hwinfo64 i have 8 gb in dual channel and in CPUZ 8 GB in single channel. I did reset the bios and disconnected the battery and made ​​with a discharge power, removed everything I could in the PC, flash the bios a10.
    Can you help me please?

    I hope you didn't connect the battery while the m17x was running.
