Closest known fix
Written by AI from what people tried. Nobody has confirmed it works yet.
The reports don't point to one cause. Battery wear after 3+ years is a likely factor, and the software steps below are worth trying first because they're free and quick.
1. **Check battery wear.** Open Command Prompt and run `powercfg /batteryreport`. Compare "Full charge capacity" with "Design capacity." If it's well below, the battery is worn and needs replacing.
2. **Switch to power-saving graphics.** On the MSI, use MSI Center to select the integrated/power-saving graphics mode. On any laptop, set Windows power mode to "Best battery life."
3. **Stop background drain.** Turn off sleep mode and shut down fully when you're done.
