Does it feel hot?

Sounds like it's overheating. It's very common with this model.

Let me know so that I can diagnose it correctly.

Thanks!

    OK well since it's a good idea to clean out your system anyway you should try picking up some compressed air from Best Buy, Wal-mart, etc.

    Take the laptop outside, remove the battery, and then spray the vents out. Make sure you keep the can level so that it's just air, not the cold stuff.

    Give it a minute or two to rest, then place the battery back in and see if that improves anything.

    Let me know.

MICROTEK C997SD MONITOR SHUTS OFF AFTER 5-10 MINUTES

If you turn your monitor on and when its on you go into your computers settings. Where you can fix your monitor and fix the resolution and all that. There should be a thing there where you can put never shut off. You have it on 5 to 10 minutes to shut off. That will keep the monitor from turning off again. I did this with mine it kept shutting off to. Thanks for posting I hope this helps you. I am sorry I couldn't be more detailed. i have been up all night lol.

Air condioner climbs to 86 degrees

First check your coil behind the filter. If this coil iss clogged the unit will over heat and cause the compressor to shut down. It sounds as if either the evaporator coil (inside) or the condensor coil (outside) may be clogged. If the unit is icing up on the inner coil then that coil is clogged or low on freon. I would think it would be cloggged instead of freon problem. To clean this coil you can go to the hardware store and buy a can of coil cleaner and use it following the directions The outer coil you would have to remove a/c from sleeve and take the unit outside. Using a water house flush the condensor coil from the outside in to remove debris.. These coils should look like a brand new car radiator when you finished cleaning. Reinsert the a/c back into wall sleeve after letting the water evaporate from the unit as to not spill water through out the area. Good Luck

My new 21' flatscreen monitor keeps shutting off :(

Usually when an LCD display shuts off on it's own this can be a power supply issue. I would say if you checked all the connections you may want to contact the manufacturer. If it is only a few months old then you should be able to get it replaced under warranty.

Also, you may have an auto shut off feature enabled on the display itself. You may want to go through the display's menu to very that this is not the case.

After i've turned on my computer, and used it for about 5 to 10 minutes, the computer freezes and i have to turn the computer off. when my computer freezes my mouse usually does not freeze. sometimes i'll...

You can start by uninstalling the program you installed before this started happening. You can also do system restore which you'll find in start>accessories>system tools.
If nogo, try disconnecting devices on the back of the computer except the keyboard, mouse, monitor and power. Turn the computer on without them. If the issue disappeared, reconnect what you unplugged one at a time until you find the culprit.

Shutting off

i have the same problem...laptop randomly shuts down, but its even done it within a minute of turning it on so i don't think its a heat issue. Sometimes it'll run for over an hour with no problem and never shut down, but other times it randomly shuts down sometimes within a minute, sometimes maybe 10 mins, sometimes 30 mins or more ...its maddening! i'd love to find a solution if anyone's found one. Thanks.
