So finally got round to performing a clean install. The problem still exists. Can only assume its hardware. Saving up for a replacement so will work on that. Thanks all

It is indeed a bit odd @Winuser. Was hoping I could do a clean install this weekend but have ended up having to work, will get it done asap and update everyone when I've done it.. Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend.

No worries, thanks anyway, appreciate the help.

Thanks for the message @badrobot, I will definitely reach out if I'm stuck

Will give this a go before doing a full restore, thanks @hsehestedt. I the risk of sounding like an idiot (I'd rather ask), do I include the NVIDIA driver or just the Intel Iris ones? Will the newer nvidia drivers not just overwrite the original install files?

Yeah maybe you're right. Will aim to do it over the weekend when I don't have to work. Will download Macrium and see how create an image. Thank you for the idea!

Yup, no difference. Actually struggled to get it to turn on at all after that. Had to completely pull the battery

Thank you! Do you mean these ones? NVIDIA Display Driver - Support

No change, unfortunately. Seem to have to fully discharge the machine (ie, hold the power button down for 5 or so seconds) before it'll even power back on.

Interesting, NVIDIA driver literally just updated. Might be the issue??? Will find out shortly I suppose. Battery replacement time

Battery out, replacing now as per Kelper' suggestion. Seem to be on the latest BIOS

Will go through now and revert soonest. Thank you!

Going to to stick the battery back in now and see what happens!

Thank you so much.. gotta get a few hours work in. Will report back later on today or this evening. Thank you!

Ha.. So I turned it off and then couldn't turn it back on. Panicked. Pulled the battery and am running straight off the power adaptor. Now working perfectly. Is this therefore a battery issue or a power management chip issue?
