Thermal cutout leads to BSOD/restarts until I pull the power cord out
Hi, HP G60 laptop, occasionally I get a thermal cutout when sthg exceptional is going on.
When this has happened, I get a BSOD after a restart and get stuck in a restart loop a couple of times and can't boot normally and don't get my boot menu (Win 10 or Safe Mode).
(Yes, I've tried cleaning the fan and this happened in Win 8.1 too).
So having upgraded to win 10 I had hoped this might have been solved. It never happened with Win 7 or Vista on hte same laptop, so it seems it's a 'feature' of the automatic repair sequence introduced in Win 8.
The only way out is to pull the power cord out just after power on, for example, and do a cold boot.
It's as if some flag is retained forcing Windows into its automatic repair sequence.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Otherwise, all seems (mostly) ok apart from a couple of programs now not finding an audio card since upgrading.
