Computer shuts itself off
posted by cidney on Feb 16, 2007
The last few times I used my laptop, it "shut off" by itself. It turned right back on and I didn't lose any data...the first time, I thought maybe the battery was low, but it then happened again after I was plugged into outlet.
I'm guessing maybe fan is shot. Would appreciate any info. Thanks

WizHey Cidney,
Sounds like the laptop is overheating, the machine will restart or turn itself off once the temperature goes over 60-65c.
Might be a faulty fan or need the thermal paste replaced on the cpu. best bet is to put it into a shop for a free quote if theres anyone near you. afraid i dont think you will be able to fix it yourself, and can sometimes it can be quite costly..
Sorry cant help anymore
All the best
