Sounds like you have a heat issue. Is the fans clear, or are they clogged with dust, hair, etc? Check the cpu heatsink as well for dust, etc. It sounds like the cpu thermostat is shutting the system down. Let me know

    Hi,
    make sure that the heat sink and fan which latches down on the processor is actually latched down. Also, it's possible, if the system has been doing this from the beginning, there is no thermal paste applied between the cpu and the heat sink.
    Has it done this from the beginning or did it just start recently?
    One other possibility.
    Can you check under control panel/power options, and see if the power management is set to go into sleep mode too quickly.
    With what information you've provided, I'm leaning towards the heat sink /thermal paste scenario.
    Good luck

What would cause my aspire 5630 to shut down sporadically?

Shut down sporadically, caused by rising temperatures on the processor (processor overheat). Processor overheat, caused by damage to the processor fan. Processor fan function to reduce the processor temperature.

Possibilities and solutions
1. The possibility of sluggish processor fan. Processor fan spins, with a low speed, so it can not reduce the processor temperature.
Solution: clean the processor fan with a vacuum cleaner, or replace the processor fan.
2. The possibility of fan processor die.
Solution: replace the processor fan.

The characteristics of damage to the processor fan
After the laptop is turned off (more than 1 hour), the laptop can turn on and survive + - 30 minutes. In the period of + - 30 minutes, the laptop died suddenly, because the processor temperature exceeds safe limits (shut down temperature).

How to check
Laptop is turned off (more than 1 hour), then turn on. Download and install software to check the processor temperature. Ex. Real Temp 3.60. See the change in temperature. If the temperature continues to rise, it can certainly cause damage to the processor fan.
- Normal temperature, when first turned on + - 38oC
- Normal temperature, after turn on for hours 40oC - 45oC
- Temperature overheat processor, when first turned on 60oC - 65oC

When turning on the TV, I hear a banging/grinding sound.

Hi,

If you hear a grinding,whirling,spining or buzzing sound, that sounds to me like the COLOR WHEEL,the reason for that is because your color wheel spins at 5,000 rpms(revolution per minute) and something that modifies the balance of the disc can cause different things,Unfortionatelly the only way to check that the color wheel is working properlyis you need to check it out physically

I did some research and I found the color wheel at DM;http://www.discount-merchant.com/Samsung-Replacement-Color-Wheel-HLS-HLT-Series-p/samsungcolor_wheel_bp96-01579a.htm?CLICK=52978

Please keep us posted.

Hi There , Remove the bottom cover of your notebook, You'll see in the corner there is a little fan,
1. Make sure that fan spins when you turn the notebook on.
2. Make sure that the airvents are clean, they might be blocked with dust.

That causes the Processor to get to hot, and then when it reaches a certain temp it shuts down, and you wont be able to turn it on until it cools down....Good luck, It's really easy to clean just blow it out, using a blower or some sort...

Dell OptiPlex GX260 PC Desktop keeps switching its self on, can any one help, i click start - go to turn off computer - then turn off, the pc then shuts down, then a couple of hours later i hear the fans...

Have you gone into the BIOS to make sure there aren't any power managment features? Do you get the same thing happening if plugged into a different wall socket? Sometimes bad power surges can cause this problem. Other issues have been known to arise from motherboard problems. Or NIC power settings...strangely enough...a quick way to test if it's NIC related might be too unplug any cables from the NIC to see if it stays on or not? There are power settings on NICs in advanced settings. Let me know if any of that helps and remember to rate the solutions. Thanks!

Why does my computer suddenly shut down during use?

remove the side panel and have a look if your cpu fan is turning.... you may need to blow the dust and dirt out of it as well... if the tower even feels remotely warm that's likely the issue... also check the fan on the power supply. either way it will likely need to be cleaned

Compaq v2000 dies after some time

Is the machine getting hot when it shuts down? If so, then you may need to clean the fan and heat sink. A dust or dirt build up can hinder the cooling system performance allowing the machine to heat up to a level that kicks in the built in fail safes in order to keep from damaging the processor. Try cleaning them and let me know. We'll go from there.
