What I was thinking was that the power adapter is going bad, and just
like a flaky power supply in a desktop, causes weird things to happen.

I was wondering if it was Win10...and note I had it from 3/15/17 to 5/11/17
with no issues...and it didn't lockup again until 6/4/17 and it's been
occurring with more frequency...
But I haven't been prompted for the Creators Update which I heard was very
bad...unless of course it fixed my problem for me...this is so random and
unpredictable, it's very frustrating!
And note in my case it's definitely a hard, complete lockup and holding the
power button until it reboots is the only way to recover...

I have had similar experiences with my Lenovo quadcore laptop.
Sometimes it goes to sleep even though I have set it up not to go to sleep when
plugged in. I have to hold the power button to wake bring it back to usability
. I think you have a Win 10 issue.... I have a lot of issues with Win 10 that I
am waiting for fixes to show up..... or not.

Doubt it's heat-while it has a 1060 in it I wasn't using it for gaming
*any* of those times, and there were plenty of times I was running Mad
Max at 1080p, and a couple times at 4k even and I could hear the fans
spin up and it def get hot, but it never had problems then...in fact,
when I had the two issues in quick succession on
6/22 it was in my lap on a tray and I had a fan blowing on it and I
thought it was b/c I got it too cold or something like that actually...!
Power...it's been plugged into the same third party power block that
Xoticpc sold me with the laptop (thing is massive) and it was on my
desk the other times...I just leave it plugged in and on so it stays
fully charged...are you thinking surges? It's plugged into a strip...
Any other ideas anyone? :P

Heat or Power?

Hey guys, really hoping someone has the trick to solve this here...
Got a new latest and greatest MSI gaming laptop (GS73VR 7RF) with
Win10 Pro a couple months ago from XoticPC who did a couple
customizations for me-received 3/15/17. I thought last month that it
started locking up on me-no response except if I hold the power button
down and shut it off and then power it up.
It started happening more frequently a couple weeks ago when it
did this 4x in the same week! I contacted XoticPC, who said to just
restore the OS-but I haven't really installed that much and would
rather figure out the problem (if I can) before I reinstall and run
into it again.
Interestingly after the second lockup on 6/22 which happened only
3 mins after the first one that day, the second one on 6/26 happened
only 6 seconds after boot if I'm reading these timestamps
right...though I didn't notice until the next day, which is when I rebooted.
Anyway, any ideas? Anyone seen this before? Any help or
suggestions much appreciated!
BINO
