    So I am playing The Witcher Enchanced Edition on Steam this morning and boom the screen goes black, however the computer is still on. So I try Ctrl+alt+delete and alt+f4 and that did not do anything so I decided to wait a while and nothing happened. I decided to just turn it off via the power button. But now my computer refuses to turn on and the power button does not work. I removed the batter and placed it back in and that did nothing. SOMEBODY HELP!!!! Do I need a new computer? is it broken forever? i don't know it just does not turn on.

    Nevermind its working now after like 20 minutes of not working. I noticed that the battery life is at 10% once I started it up again.

    ^ Never play games without plugging in your laptop. You won't get the best performance if you don't.
