hi im seeking a gaming laptop, broken my foot. cant do much. My Omen laptop with 32gb ram, 4090GPU has just been trash.
bad fan sounds, SSD blew up, now GPU has blew up, this is the first time for me and I have been using laptops for all my life.
so this is just crazy. I'm guessing this whole thing is faulty the fans or something is overheating. so I'm looking to try get a refund for this, hopefully and buy a new laptop, any suggestions? any cheap deals.

ending up getting a MSI Vector 16 HX A14VHG-431AU

      no its on a wooden stand for air flow.
      Who said I was in bed? not me.

    100% sounds like OP was gaming in bed or on soft furnishings which have ruined the fans and overheated the machine

    Hey OP. I have the same HP Omen 4090 laptop. It's been great except the CPU has had low performance and times of instability which I could never diagnose but now believe is due to the Intel scandal. Your laptop should be claimable under warranty. Have you tried that?
