I haven’t ever been playing media when it happens, so I’m not sure. Also yes, I have tried plugging in external monitors, or trying to ssh in, but none work. It’s as if the computer freezes as well.
Honestly it might still just be the SOC failing - when I worked in hardware repair most laptops had separate chips for each but now tech has progressed to have them both on one “system on a chip”. So back in my day if it was gpu the cpu might keep humming along while the gpu was fried, but that’s less relevant now-a-days.
Sorry bro, I’d say back anything you give a shit about up because she’s probably on the way out. If my experience holds, even with the single chip boards - eventually it’ll artifact like this every boot and you’ll be digging out the hard drives to get at your files.
In your shoes I’d recommend fucking with the drivers and your OS, it’s still possible that it’s the drivers are interacting with the hw wrong and causing the issues, but in reality that’s a long shot. Also run memtest86 overnight one night and see if maybe its the ram?
If it does die and you’re feeling hack-y, the dude who suggested an oven reflow is not wrong. If you manage to figure out getting the motherboard out (make sure no plastic that could melt!!) and put it in the oven at reflow temp, you might revive it. If picking the laptop up and twisting the body slightly can cause the crash, it’s almost definitely soldier joint issues.
Are the fans doing anything under normal load? If it’s not moving air at all that’s cause for concern too. Dead fans mean thermal issues, which can cook chips.
Oh one last edit, check how long the warranty is - fucky soldier is a manufacturing defect.
Best of luck brother, sorry for the shitty news.
