Title: MINING and MY LAPTOP crashes when I plug the laptop into the mains to recharge
Post by: FREASKY on February 02, 2017, 07:20:54 PM
Hi guys, I have an HP PROBOOK COREi5 laptop with 2 switchable graphics cards, an INTEL HD GRAPHICS 4000 and an AMD RADEON HD 7500.
I have installed and configured CGWATCHER with CGMINER.
MINING works well with the AMD GPU.
The problem is that MINING crashes when I plug the laptop into the mains to recharge it.
My laptop crashes too.
Can someone help me to fix this problem, please ???

I'd look at your power settings, in particular any settings that are different between running on battery versus running on the mains, perhaps video processing related.  Something there is probably changing when you plug in and that is causing a crash for some reason.

That's what I thought. I'll review my power settings.
Thank you for your assistance

Have you ever though about how laptops are not made for mining and what you are doing isn't good ? Laptops have really bad cooling so when you mine your heat will go up and you have a chance to seriously damage your components. Now do you think that is worth 2-3$ you will get at the end of month ?
