This is a challenger for the forums.
My laptop is randomly shutting itself off. It will power down with the sound that you get when you hold the power button for 6 seconds. It will sometimes make it into windows, most of the time, it only makes it just past boot. I can get into my bios settings, but everytime I boot up my laptop, I have the error saying CMOS is incorrect, and my computer time has been reset. To make matters worse, I know my power supply is fine, used it on other computers, my laptop doesn't stay on long enough to overheat, and all my fans are running. In order to reboot the computer after it shuts down, I need to disconnect all power sources and then reconnect one. I just want to know if my motherboard is screwed or there is an underlying issue that I might be missing.
There are no beeps at startup and from what I know, no lights flash any code during the time the laptop is on.
