    Hi everyone,

    I have a Clevo W670SQ that's been having some erratic issues;

    -Randomly reboots, with no warning
    -Struggles to turn on because it gets stuck in an automatic power off then power on cycle
    -Event Log states 'Power Kernel Issue'

    What I have tried;

    -Change RAM
    -Change HDD
    -Change CMOS battery

    Nothing I've tried fixes the issue and I'm leaning towards it being a motherboard issue, anything that can be done to fix this?

    Does it do this on both battery and AC?

    If so, you ( @ZeroX03) could be looking at a faulty board. The only other component to test from here would be the CPU.

    Hi there, sorry for the late reply. I've ordered some parts from China for further testing, will update with results. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
