can anyone tell by the temperatures these temps causes my AW18 to shutdown ?
i get shutdowns randomly every ( 5 ) ( 10 ) ( 20 ) ( 30 ) minutes.
now ive searched on google and youtube and someone posted this solution
to put them both on passive, it won't give you shutdowns but may possible damage any components in the laptop.
i didn't tried the option as of yet cause i really don't know if the shutdowns is related to heat or not
could also possible be the PSU ?
personally i don't think my temps are really high to have shutdowns..
my cpu has coollaboratory liquid ultra on it
and my GPU's has Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut

@Trulyfatal your temps are really good based on the video you have posted, does the light on your psu light off when the laptop shuts down?
I would not try turning your cooling to passive that will only make everything hotter.Rengsey R. H. Jr. likes this. -

my PSU just died yesterday. AW 18 can't recognize the PSU. Got it a few days back, on Thursday lol. I sent an email to AW and no reply from them yet , besides their " auto " reply.

Thank you. But I have decided to return the item. Also i have been reading/reasearching a lot on how to get the system working properly and I don't feel like I should have to tweak the system to have it work the way it should.
