My Toshiba m205 4806 shuts down spontaneously. The lap top feels warm but the fan is running. any suggestions?
The cpu get overheated and will shtdown to protect it. The fan continues to run until a CPU safe temperature is reached / sustained.
1. Use laptop on flat surface, not on pillow, carpet, bed, etc. that will restrict air flow. Using a can of compressed air, clear the air vents.
2. If the symptom continues, then the heat conductive paste between the cpu chip and the heatsink is no longer effective (hardened, too thin, etc.). Remove the heatsink and add thermal paste
($6 Radio Shack).
