October 5, 20187 yr Fault GPU gives artifacts on screen. IE everything turns blurry RAM failure from my experience happens on boot. Faulty mobo should just not boot. I'm almost positively sure that it's temperature issue.
October 5, 20187 yr If you have had it for a while and never cleaned it before it's probably clogged with dust like people above have mentioned. Just open it, clean it and that should do the trick.

Clearly you know more than I do, but this laptop is quite old and think I'm just going to have a fresh start at a new one, now I'm looking at this laptop, keep in mind I only use it for osrs runelite client. I do not bot at all, so I don't need some crazy processor or anything. And trying to keep at a decent price range. Is this a decent laptop or do you have any suggestions at a decent laptop? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-330-15igm-15-6-laptop-intel-celeron-4gb-memory-500gb-hard-drive-platinum-gray/6221788.p?skuId=6221788&cmp=RMX&extStoreId=333&ref=212&loc=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjduZq93v3QIVjpJ-Ch2BPQX1EAQYAyABEgLc3PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds 6 hours ago, Valiant One said: Could be fan failure or like people said, dust clogging shit up. Be careful when disassembling, there can be small cables there that have very fragile connectors.

Seeing as it's DDR4, the price will be way higher then a older aged laptop (DDR3). What is your current budget on spending on a new laptop if you were to look for one? If you can easily clear this one from dust, I would always go for that option first.

If you can easily clear this one from dust, I would always go for that option first. I took my current one apart and cleared all dust using the air can, and its still doing it. I think I'm just ready to get a new one. Budget is 300ish for now but as said, I'm looking for a basic computer to play osrs on, not bots of anything crazy.
October 6, 20187 yr I literally did laptop repairs for 2 years. 9/10 times when a customer like you came in all we did was: Completely Unscrew laptop ( Do not do this if you have never done it before, you will break/Snap something. ) Clean out the fan Apply new Thermal Cooling paste to the CPU ( This is what is causing your computer to shutdown ) As an alternative you should go to a computer repair store and say " Hey can you apply new Thermal paste to my laptop CPU " And they will say"Sure that'll be $90 "
