My laptop randomly shuts down when I'm using it. I've tried restoring it to the manufacturer's settings but that did not help. Also I cannot connect to the internet at times. I try restarting the computer and also turning the wireless key off and on. This does not make any difference. Can you help?

How old is this laptop? What conditions have you been using it in? It is quite possible that the fan intake and also the internal vents have been clogged because of dust, this causes the laptop to be unable to sufficiently cool itself, thus causing thermal shutdowns. Check the vents and try spraying some compressed air in from the exhaust vent.
For the wireless problem, while the computer is starting up, rapidly press either Del, F10, or F2 to enter the BIOS setup. The correct key to press is actually displayed briefly on startup, before windows begins to load. In the BIOS, follow the guidelines given at the bottom of the screen and navigate to an option where you can select the default state of your wireless adapter (i.e. on or off). This is usually different for each computer, so clarifying and telling me your model would also help.

My laptop shuts down randomly

Tell them to give you a NEW computer. You got a lemon. They WILL give you a new one if you've had this much trouble with it. I'm serious, they do it all the time on lemons. Be assertive! They will cave.

I need to restore my computer to the factory settings. I have an HP PavillionDV5000 with Windows XP. When I open PC Recovery and select "PC Recovery", the computer automatically shuts down and...

After you've used your laptop for an extended period of time its hard drive may become filled with files you don't want or even infected with malicious virus programs downloaded from the Internet. If you don't want to go through the folders on your laptop and manually delete each unnecessary file you can restore the computer to its original factory settings instead. Restoring a laptop wipes out any existing data and entirely reinstalls the operating system.

1.Place the operating system recovery CD that came with your computer into the CD or DVD drive. Restart the computer.
2.Wait for the computer manufacturer's logo to pop up on the screen. Press the keyboard key that brings up the recovery menu, which is usually "F2," "F8," or "Ctrl" and "F11" pressed simultaneously.
3.Select the specific language you want the operating system to use from the menu at the top of the screen. Select "Next."
4.Choose the option labeled "PC Restore," "Repair Your Computer" or something similar. Click "Next."
5.Select "Restore" and then click "Enter" to start the process. Click "Restart" once the process has ended to boot the restored computer to its operating system.

My mini laptop says "BOOTMGR

Hi,

The BOOTMGR is also known as the "Boot Manager." That means that there is something wrong with the hard drive. You would need to copy that BOOTMGR file from the Windows disc that your laptop would've came with. Otherwise, you would need to restore the computer to it's factory settings.

Now, who's the laptop's manufacturer? I suggest you call them and have them assist you restoring your laptop to it's original factory settings, like when you first bought it.

If you have some problems. Don't hesitate to leave a comment and I'll get back to you.
