Left my G750jx in backpack in sleep, Found in hours later super hot! Anything worrysome?

I left my g750jx in a protective sleeve in my laptop, but my concern is I took it out of the sleeve hours later, and found the laptop super hot. I am worried that I may have caused damage to the computer. After I opened up the laptop lid, the computer cooled down with it's very good cooling system. I tried gaming, and everything seems to work fine. Is there anything that I should be concerned about?

 

It either never went to sleep, or woke up while in the backpack (fans aren't effective when blocked). Perhaps you had a wireless mouse that woke it up?

 

There was no wireless mouse in my bag at the time. I am worried that the country did not fry itself or the GPU.

Win+X, then V for Event Viewer. Windows logs --> System Log. Look at the log times when the computer was in the bag and see if it ever went to sleep, or if it woke up early. It gives reasons for entering/exiting sleep, e.g. "Sleep Reason: Button or Lid". It could help you pinpoint the issue.

 

it seemed that the laptop was only on for 45 minutes while it was in the bag, not for three hours. It said the machine resumed from a low power state, and that was it. There were a bunch of error reports after that, but I am not sure what those reports were suppose to mean.

 

Something clearly woke it up then, but if the log doesn't say what it will be hard to guess. When my G750 wakes up from sleep (by opening the lid), the log says:

The system has returned from a low power state.

Sleep Time: xxx
Wake Time: ‎yyy

Wake Source: Power Button

If you get the same, maybe the laptop screen opened up inside the bag due to swinging about? 45 minutes of being on with the fan exhaust blocked will of course cause overheating. In any case, it's pointless to guess. Try to figure out WHY it woke up, and work to prevent it. Maybe shut it down instead of putting to sleep, if you have an SSD it wakes up fast enough anyways.

 

Or hibernate instead, especially if you have an SSD.

 

Yeah keep hibernating on that SSD if you want to waste space and kill it.

 

I will get a list of all the events that happened, but this happened when I installed a Samsung 840 ssd, not with the original hdd. I had to change the sleep settings in order for it too sleep when the sad was installed.

Right as I went to sleep, I closed my laptop lid, but my laptop just turned back on. Does anyone know what might cause this?

I have more problems now, the CPU usage is going to 100% randomly. I think I will try to restore via a recovery drive I have to fix these problems. This is not good, the computer will randomly stop accepting clicks, so I may have damaged the processor, I might call Asus, maybe use the warrenty.

What is using the CPU at 100%?

 

I have a screen of the cpu usage just from web browsing, it is ridiculous.

Edit, just as I was uploading the file, I heard some random sound as if a video was playing, twice. I may have a program causing this or virus idk, but I tried this even with only ie 11 open.

 

Can you inspect the processes and find out which one is using the most resource?

 

So I have task manager snapped to the side running next to the browser, but every time I open a webpage particularly a larger one like theverge.com , or move around on it, the cpu usage spikes. Right now the computer is able to ideal at 2-4%, but earlier on it was jumping around from 5-20% in ideal. I did a couple of restarts too.

Update: I uninstalled mcafee, messed around with browsers and found that google chrome uses less cpu processes than ie 11 and lowered the usage by quite a bit, but still it not normal. How can I test that my cpu is not damaged?

 

Faulty CPU gives you random blue screens, you can stress test it using Prime95.

 

Before this event occurred, my computer BSOD when on the first reboot of installing windows 8.1. I had to get the os reinstalled by Asus, because I did not have a recovery drive at the time. If I do a stress test of the cpu with Prime95, could I cause more damage?

 

Check your graphics card drivers as it should be rendering the windows.

 

Damn! It sounds like it magically turned on.

Hope your rig is okay!

 

A faulty CPU would likely mean a dead system not able to even boot to be honest by the way.

If a a CPU throws out an error 0.001% of the time that's still 30 million errors per second

 

LAN wakeup ? try to see in the LAN driver settings if the wake up from lan is activated..

 

That would be odd since it has to be a specific wake up request sent to the machine but I suppose you could check.

 

You never know.

 

The result however varies differently from BIOS to BIOS regardless the OS/driver function.
