Alright, not going to lie, the last 2-3 weeks have been a complete pain due to my laptop having constant problems.
Problem one, when I lift the laptop, I hear something rattling inside, as if a component is loose. Very concerned as I think my 6 month old laptop is beginning to degrade.
Problem two, suspected faulty battery. When I play high power games (crysis 2, Borderlands 2, etc.) the laptop shuts itself down after around 7% battery loss. It is not overheating, as the fans aren't completely hot and I've tried everything to make sure it has sufficient air space.
Problem three, faulty GPU(?). I installed the latest 13.1 drivers for my 7970m. Worked a charm for a few days, then I got two BSOD's in a row, which meant I had to system restore to before I installed the drivers.
Problem four, keyboard LED's. The Yellow/Pink/White colours don't show up on my backlit keyboard.
Problem five, degraded performance. Since my laptop is a "gaming" laptop, I have installed plenty of games, and I know this slows down computers when there are too many installed. The problem is, I have a good processor and HDD, with at least 570GB left out of 1TB. It takes longer to start up, longer to open programs, it is prone to crashing, etc.
Sorry, but I have had problems with this laptop since day one, and I didn't mind since it wasn't too bad, but now it's getting worse and worse, and I fear one day my laptop just won't work. I need some serious help with this, as I am concerned that my money has practically been lost. I hate to sound miserable, but the problems keep coming up every day and I can't even play most games due to the laptop's possible faulty componens. Thanks.
