    When I boot up my laptop it works okay for one or two minutes before the fans start blowing really loud, then the caps lock and Num Lock lights start blinking before the laptop just completely shuts down. Sometimes the Caps lock and Num lock light will start flashing and the fans will start spinning really loudly but the computer will not shut off and the fans turn back to normal and the lights stop blinking

    My speedfan temps are ranging from 54-75C

    Sounds like an EC error, possibly related to the main board or the GPU on its last leg. Odd that it will resume as normal sometimes, though.

    Are you able to update the BIOS & EC (or if they're current, re-flash it)?

    I believe they are current, as for re-flashing I can try, should I stick with Prema or return to stock?

    I managed to get it running for a few hours, but the problem returned again
