With a focus on gaming, the ASUS G501JW-BHI7N12 has features like a robust hard drive, higher end graphics card, and cooling fans to keep the laptop running smooth. It uses the same Core i7-4720HQ CPU that most other high-end gaming notebooks share alongside a dedicated GTX 960M GPU and a UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS panel.

Screen black, f2 key blinks. Power on but not running.

My rog started to switch off suddenly a week ago, and now it suddenly shuts off. Trying to open it but not working anymore. When i plugged it the Power led turns steady on, and f2 key blink once. Hdd indicators glows and stop and the screen is black.

Hi There,

The problem you’re describing sounds like it could’ve been overheating at one point (hence the switching off suddenly).

It’s possible that you might just have a loose component i.e. RAM, GPU or CPU etc. because of the constant overhearing (think thermal expansion & contraction).

Worst case a component might be damaged because of the overheating.


To check the former you’ll need to take the laptop apart entirely, if it was overheating you’ll most likely see a lot of dust in the cooling system i.e. on the fans and inside the heatsink/s, you’ll need to clean these components properly with a fine brush or with some compressed air if you have it.

On the cooling heatsink/s you’ll need to remove the old thermal compound/paste with some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip.

You will need to buy some new thermal compound before assembling everything back together though.

Hopefully after assembling all back together your machine will start up again as per normal and run cool with the cleaned cooling system / new thermal compound.

If the above doesn’t work then a component might be damaged and you will need to test the components one by one, in this case it is best to take it to a repair shop that will have the spares/equipment on hand to test these components properly.
