    Welp im back with a whole new problem so its best to say how it started.

    my pc was running fine and i shut down my pc to clean the inside of my keyboard. After a while i started up my pc and went to youtube. Then my computer then did an automatic shut down in the middle of youtube (not like power outage shut down, like pressing-the-power-button shut down). I found that odd and decided to turn my pc again. it booted normally except my pc is beeping loudly and continuously until i shut down again or on its own. Does any know what this problem could be?

    What did you use to clean your keyboard?

    Compressed dusters can emit a liquid when in use, have you tried removing the keyboard and booting the machine?

    Also check all of your fan connections and re-seat everything you are able to.

    ah that slipped my mind...is there a guide to remove the whole keyboard itself? i only manage to remove the keys

    EDIT: i also reseated my RAM and fans. so far they work well.

    trying to get a disassembly guide but sager website keeps telling me to accept terms & agreement even though i already did. is it because im using mobile phone?

    Edit: nevermind the disassembly guide isnt there. i did read that when cleaning the keys...the space bar is mostly the culprit. i removed it and so far no issues so far. gonna leave my pc running until then

    Left my PC for a while and not a single shut down has occured. I guess I placed the space bar key incorrectly. Thx Meaker :)
