Razer blade 15 advanced (2018) won’t boot


Hey all, I was watching YouTube today on my razer blade laptop when suddenly everything frozen. I thought it was weird so I forced shut it down. Upon trying to restart the keyboard lights up, then after about a second goes black again, and same with the status light on the front of the laptop. I see nothing on the display the entire time, it seems like it keeps trying to boot but something is stopping it… does anyone have any suggestions, as I need to hopefully fix this soon because this is my main work horse. Thanks again!

I was able to boot it once where the option of the bios appeared. I entered the bios and began to look around when it suddenly froze. Didn’t make it far…

I am thinking the master boot record is corrupt? Do you have more than one hard-drive connected to your laptop?

I don't have more than one hard-drive connect, just the default SSD it came with. I continued to try to boot it for a little bit, and eventually, I made it back to the BIOS. I made sure it saw my SSD to boot off of, and it did. I tried saving and restarting and suddenly the laptop booted correctly to the home screen... Not sure what caused this but I'm worried it'll happen again. Anyone know what could've caused this?

It could be a heat overload. I remember, once my pc shut itself automatically due to heat overload. My pc was a small form factor pc with one CPU cooling fan fitted with a dust filter. Dust filter was overwhelmed with dust that blocked the cold air ventilation; eventually lead to automatically shutting down my pc due to heat overload. When booting, my OS could not load. After waiting about 30 - 45 minutes it got fixed automatically. As we all know, due to laptops compacted size, the heat dissipates within the laptop rather then getting out of the chassis. Which will eventually cause heat overload.

Which is why laptop users should get one of the RAZER laptop stand. By elevating the laptop from the ground, it gives benefit in two ways.
  • It dissipates the heat through the open air (sort of helping with removing the heat from the chassis)
  • Provides better air ventilation to absorb open cold air
