I had an old thinkpad that i needed a screen for...i believe I ordered it off ebay...and it was under 100 dollars...go to ebay and try it

Mine did this and I thought it was overheating and vacumed the back vents. This fixed the problem.

I have a Satellite A75-S2292. It did the same thing to me. I just blow the vents & fans out weekly with canned air. I also have an under the laptop cooling fan, to increase the air flow. I haven't had it shut done for months, since I started doing some preventive maintenance.
The changing the thermal paste is not a good repair. Thermal paste will last for at least 20 years, under worse conditions than most computers will ever experience. Removing the processor chip, wiping everything clean & replacing the paste & chip just make more chances for damage.

According to specs on cNet, it has 3 USB 2.0 ports.

here is a website that will tell you the beeps and give an explination http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

the issue is likely thermal shutdown (it got to hot) listen to establish whether the fan(s) are working. you will need to take it apart to gain access to the fan area to clean out the dust and dirt.

you buy the memory here for a great price or anywhere online instructions are on the page
it replaces the 512
