I had a theory it had something to do with Firefox but it froze in chrome too. Thanks though! I think at this point its probably something going on with the motherboard
I tried removing the WiFi module but it still freezes. Thanks for the suggestion though!
So it seems it has something to do with video playback or at the very least YouTube. I was just troubleshooting now and I was able to play stardew valley for around 30 min or so. I close out of the game, open a YouTube video, and it freezes in about two minutes
I don’t really think so as it did the same thing running a bootable Linux mint drive with the current hard drive disconnected. Right now I just confirmed the fan is running so I don’t think it’s overheating or anything. Really strange
That’s pretty disappointing. I bought it because of it’s “bulletproof” reputation or at least that’s what I’ve heard. I think I only got two years out of it. It was used but you know. It looks like I can get a new motherboard for $30 or so but I’m not quite sure that I feel like tearing into it that much, especially if they’re known to have issues
