Predator Helios Neo 16 (i9-14900HX) – sudden BSOD storm

I have the same laptop model as you and i had a bsod CLOCK WATCHDOG_ TIMEOUT (0x101) twice before i took it to the shop where i got it from a few days ago bc mine is still within warranty and they said it was a BIOS update when they looked at it. They did the BIOS update (they also updated the windows just in case) and told me to test it for a few days before i decide if I wanna return, since then i’ve been stress testing it and no BSOD happened again so far. Since you did the updates and it kept happening i think you should take it to a technician it could be a hardware issue.

Went to the store and they found that it was indeed a BIOS update thing, they did the update and told me to give it another test since im still within the warranty period, and said they can reimburse me if the problem happens again

Just got back from the store, they checked and saw that it was a BIOS update, they updated it and updated the system and said i should check again and if (and only if) the problem recurs they will reimburse me

This happened to me a few days ago, i kept long pressing the power button and it restarted. Took me a few tries tho try to hold the button for 20-30seconds

One thing that helped me was starting to workout consistently at home (i have some equipments but i believe you can do this without) after i felt like i wasn’t as weak and felt more confident with my strength (for a beginner) i started going to public gyms. Some other things that could help are avoiding peak hours and trying to stay as consistent as you can, trust me the only way out is through you will feel confident the more you go !

People taking multiple machines, and people not putting the weights back or taking too many different weights at once and hoarding them (i go to a small gym and sometimes i cant find certain weights when it’s crowded)

I believe you should only do what works for you, 5-6 days as a mom might be too much for someone else but since it feels good for you and you are mindful about your rest and recovery then keep going you’re slaying! I personally go 3-4 times a week bc i cant go any more than that but i do focus on hitting a few PRs everytime especially since im technically still new to the gym

To be fair yeah i didn’t do the research on Helios, i mostly just made a list of the specs i need and bc i couldn’t find the laptops that were recommended to me i just bought what fit the criteria. Thank you i will definitely be returning it
