Hey all. First of all, I'm a newbie to mining and like most newbies I jumped head first and started mining from my laptop without reading about the possible consequences. I have a Lenovo y510p, one year old. Four days ago I left it mining for 6 hours straight while I was away and when I got back everything was fine. I noticed it was generating a lot of heat and got a little worried but as soon as I stopped the mining everything was fine. The next few days the laptop worked normally. I thought it was a bit slower at times but I thought I'm just being paranoid. Either way I decided not to mine anymore. Today, 4days after mining I woke up and turned on the laptop and after a few minutes of running a video in vlc player, everything froze. Video was playing but I couldn't open google chrome or anything else. I restarted and it wouldn't start up. Windows kept diagnosing the problem and it finally said that I need to do a system restore. I haven't done it yet because I wanted to hear some opinions before losing stuff on my hard drive. If it is indeed because of mining, what exacy my got fried? Which part will I need to replace? And wouldn't it have been fried right away? Is it possible that its not that bad? I can take it back to the store as its still in warranty but its in a different city so I need to make sure I tried everything beforehand. Thanks and sorry for typos, writing from my phone.
