This could be a couple of things, the shutdown will probably be because of the overheating, check for blockage around fan extraction area. The other could be that there is a virus or spyware running, taking over the processors work and causing a shut down or overheat error, check for both. The other could be a driver conflict, try doing a system restore to before the problem started.

Acer Aspire 4830T battery behaving vaguely.

Are you using the provided charger, or are you using an after market "Universal" charger?
If you're using a universal charger, it could be charging the battery too hot and the computer just doesn't understand why the battery is putting out more than the system is expecting.
It could also be that the battery is wrong type. The voltage may be the correct, however the Ah may be too high. This being the case, the computer doesn't understand what why the it's getting a higher Ah reading than it's expecting. The system can not reason that that if it detects more amp-hours than the it should have that it has that much more charge time. It just sees "ERROR" and since you're dealing with a system function that is designed to prevent loss of data the default action is to shut down to prevent loss of data.
You may be able to fix by resetting the Power Management Options. Unfortunately, with out doing test on the machine, it is impossible to tell. I could be software or hardware. If nothing else works, try replacing the battery again.

Do you still have the old battery. If so charge it, and see if it charges properly. If so then you have a bad battery.

My computer shuts down when i run heavy programs or when i restart

it could be that your CPU ( central processing unit ) need new thermal compound. if you do not service your laptop every 3-6 months you will blow the cpu if the thermal compound gets to hard. the pc shuts down wen the cpu is to hot or if there is no conduction between the cpu and the heat sink

The processor is designed to gear down when you switch to battery mode to conserve power, this way the rechargeable battery last another 30% longer at least.

Acer 8920 G restarts after 3 min and again shuts down

First make sure your fan is operating on your processor it takes about 3 mins for it to over heat and stop and shut itself down for safety to prevent burning up the processor.if its not this read on.
Also when you boot into safe mode then do a system restore to a date before the problem started. But first in safe mode run your antivirus scan to find something that is missed while being hid behind the operating system while functioning.

Slow shutdown HP Pavilion dv7

There are a number of reasons that may causing your HP computer running slow to shut down or start up, but generally two factors: outdated hardware or poor system maintenance. For hardware part: you can get more RAM, higher CPU etc. For system part: there might be a lot of junk files, caches, errors etc out there, about 80% slow HP issues are caused by this reason, in this case you can rely on http://www.speeduphp.com/ to free detect and fix related issues.

Acer Aspire 9300-3655: Shuts Downs When Idle

does it just shut down randomly? and then when you turn it back on it shuts down nearly straight away? if so then it sounds like the processor is overheating and as a saftey mechanism it shuts down. which could be a big problem.

or you just need a new battery. because you are supposed to only charge it when it is dead. if you keep it on charge and plug it into the mains randomly,then the battery will eventually lose it capacitence (basically how much charge it can hold) and then it wont last long atall. you want to hope its the battery.

hope this helps.
