Gaming laptop overheated and shows no sign of working

[Ronan_mccorley2]

A few days ago I was playing my games on my omen gaming laptop and suddenly it shutdown and a smell of hot plastic came out of the air vents. I waited for the laptop to cool down but after a days with and without charging it still will not turn on, not a blinking light or anything

Hi@NazarFedorych, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Apologize for the issue with the PC shutting down while playing games. We understand, lets try a few troubleshooting steps to fix the issue.

Check for BIOS is up to date?

Tried Adding the game to High performances in the Nivida control panel?

Download GEFORCE EXPERIENCE updates the gaming drivers.

Turn on Game Mode. Game Mode is a new feature in Windows 10 Update that improves gaming performance by limiting background processes and programs from using system resources while a game is running.

Press the Windows key and G to open the Game bar.

In the game bar, click Settings.

Click the check box next to the game title to enable Game Mode for that game.

Plug notebook PCs into an AC adapter to give the graphics card more power.

Let's start off by updating the Bios, Chipset, and graphics card drivers on your PC from our HP support website, using this link.

Also, download and install HP support assistant on your PC. It should automatically download and install the latest updates and drivers for your PC.

Refer to this link to know how to use HP support assistant.

I would like to inform you that 90C is normal on the gaming computer. I recommend you use the Omen command center to change the settings which suit your needs.

Please refer to the below article for more information.
