Chosen Solution
Hello, I bought an Asus laptop (X541UVK) a year ago and now I’m experiencing a weird problem, the PC randomly shutdown while on battery, I can sometimes turn it on again by pressing the power button but it will shut down again after seconds or minutes, at first it looks like that’s a battery issue but I don’t really think that. I stressed both the GPU & CPU at the same time to see if the battery can deliver enough amperage and to check my temperatures, after 10mins the temperature of the CPU was 50°C and the GPU 60°C, so that means I have no thermal issues (which doesn’t surprise me) and probably the battery is fine, I restarted the same test while shaking the laptop (no worries I got an SSD) to check if the battery isn’t fully plugged or something like that but no luck, the laptop still works xD. So what’s the problem then???? All drivers and BIOS are updated and I’m using the last version of Windows 10, also the PC works fine while plugged in the charger. Update (04/15/2020) Thank you for your help I think I solved the problem so far, I cleaned the power pins on the battery and on the motherboard using a toothbrush and an electronic contact cleaner, also I added some paper around the corners of the battery for further maintaining. I’ll test my computer for some days before approving this solution until then feel free to ask me anything.
HI @vertinhol, Things to try: If the shutdown occurs often, try starting the laptop in ‘‘safe mode’’ and check if it still occurs. If not you have a driver or settings problem Run a system file check (sfc) command to make sure that all the OS files are OK Check in Event Viewer for any Critical, Error or Warning events that show at about the same time as the shutdown or any event that has multiple appearances. To get to Event Viewer, right click on the Windows Start button (left side of the Taskbar) and click on the event viewer link that is in the options box that appears. Double click on an event of interest to view more information. To find out further what they mean and why they may be caused, search online for What does (insert Event ID, insert Source) mean? e.g. What does Event ID 1014 source DNS Client Events mean? Create a Win 10 battery report to check the state of the battery (if only to reassure yourself about the battery)
@vertinhol … it does sound like a battery issue. if it works fine on ac and never cycles, the only viable answer is a battery related issue. This could be a bad battery or the battery isnt really charging due to ic or faulted circuit. The only reason a device would shut down without warning is no power or a short causing instant shutdown. Your device runs on battery for a bit before crashing, so the likely of the two is a faulty battery i.m.o. You can run a battery diagnostic from a third party app or if you system has a built in service menu that displays battery health.
@Emirhan GÜNEŞ Create a Win 10 battery report as shown in the link in the Chosen Solution, to check the status of the battery. It may be failing under load. Compare the Design capacity versus the Full Charge capacity to get an idea of how good it still is.
