Hello MTakj
Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities and for your patience in this matter.
We have been checking this behavior and we understand that your system ASUS* ROG Strix G531GU* is shutting down when testing it with the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool. We also noticed that you run the software on a similar computer ASUS* ROG Strix G G531GT with the same processor model and it worked. Actually, both systems seem to be part of the same line, family, or series since driver updates for both systems are available on the same webpage from Asus*.
We also checked your system configuration and confirmed the system is running the latest drivers, Windows® build and latest BIOS version (based on ASUS* Website*).
Since this is a new system and if it is running BIOS at defaults, we would like to mention that you should not be having issues with the new laptop. We recommend checking the temperature when running the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool to verify if it is shutting down due to overheating or perhaps an internal electrical short causing the problem. Having said that and considering this is a new system and the software runs fine on another computer with the same processor model, we highly recommend checking this further with your Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) ASUS* including (if applicable) to check the warranty status.
Best regards,
Andrew G.
