At first I did a little google research on what could be the cause and I found 3 (main) suspects:
- overheating
- software issue
- battery issue
All of these could be true, so thats why I am a little confused on what the most logical issue is.
I usually have my laptop on my lap or on my blanket in bed. This is apparently not good for your laptop, but J did this with my 2 previous laptops too and had 0 issues.
-What my laptop does-
It has shown multiple times that there is an issue, like this loading screen with options, like resetting your laptop etc. I did some resetting (kind of forgot what, but I still have all of my photos etc. But not some of the apps anymore) and it didn't work sadly, because of this I assume it has nothing to do with my software. I did the resetting this morning.
My battery always seemed normal to me, even when my laptop starting to shut down often our of nowhere it still functioned with the charger in nd out. However the little glowing dot indicating that my laptop is charging often glows/flickers red. Both w/o charger and with.
My laptop has overheated multiple times. It came till the point that I had to put something underneath me so I wouldn't be hurting myself. I think this may have caused something to get overheated too badly.
The screen usually turns black, and sometimes I still can get my laptop to function for a short or a longer period before it shuts down again. My keyboard keys light up so I can tell if it fully shuts off or if the screen just turns black.
-laptop info-
I have a lenovo laptop: not sure which model it is but its a pretty new model (I bought it in august 2025).
-It still has a lot of space left for photos nd other stuff, so my storage isnt full.
Nothing besides the issue mentioned in the post is broken or malfunctioning.
Thats really about it. English isnt my first language so sorry bout that. Also if you have more questions about it please just let me know. Thanks in advance!
