I have an 820-3662 board that came in today for random shutdowns. After researching here on the forums, it looks like random shutdowns are a very common issue with this board and mostly pertain to a video issue. I am not sure if the issue with this computer is related or not but here are the following issues.
Device will run perfectly fine with Unigine Valley Benchmark, and can stream videos for hours. However, once the device goes into sleep mode, the fans will begin to slowly get faster until maxed out and the screen will not display anything. When looking into Console after performing an SMC reset, there are no errors in System.log around the time the computer went to sleep. It is almost as if the entire OS halts and isn't being detected as a Kernal Panic in Console. I am able to replicate the fan and blank screen issue every time the computer goes to sleep, or has the lid closed. I have also replicated this sleep issue using an external Test OS to rule out software corruption.
Does any of this seem related to the typical FDMF6808 issue I am finding on the forums? If so, should I even bother attempting to resolve this board?
