    Any solutions? Tweaks? Modifications I can do without, internal upgrades or, ....
    so that I can justify and make a 1,400 dollar purchase worth it? for gaming as well, not just for designing features and compactability. thanks.

    Surface laptop 3 fans running loud when laptop is plugged in

    Hello. I have been having this problem with my Surface laptop 3 where when I play a light game (like Minecraft) with the laptop plugged in the fans become extremely loud. However when the laptop is not plugged in the fans don't get even close to being
    as loud... Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Laptop fan 1 not working?

    Hey, for a while I've noticed that one of my laptop fans on my gaming laptop does not work. I have a program on my laptop called Dragon Gaming Centre and it says that fan 1 speed is 0 RPM, but my laptop fan 2 speed is about 5000 RPM when I have it on high.
    Don't know if it's possible that I turned it off somehow or if it could be a physical issue with it being broken.

    I was wondering if I could have some suggestions on how how to troubleshoot what the problem is so I can know how to fix it and solutions if possible. It's caused me lots of problems already because my CPU overheats and causes me to get low fps spikes in
    games.

    Thank you so much for your time and help. Surface 3 laptop FAN/OVERHEAT CONCERNS WHILE GAMING :)

    Can't play games on my surface 3

    Hi Jon,

    There are many possible reasons why you are unable to play your games on your Surface 3. It can possibly be due to an outdated Windows Update version installed on your device or a software conflict with other apps on your Surface 3. To properly isolate your
    concern, please clarify the following information:

    • Did the issue occur after an update?
    • Does the issue occur on all of the games installed on your Surface 3?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far to resolve the issue?
    • Are there any error messages when you tried to play your games?
    • Are you playing the game online?
    • When was the last time that you were able to play the games on your device?

    In the meantime, you may run the Windows Apps troubleshooter by clicking the
    Run troubleshooter button on this link to fix problems with apps
    from Microsoft Store.
