Question about Acer Aspire 5002WLMi Notebook
Hello, My Acer runs fine normally until I try to download a large file or watch a video online (like the Netflix movies). I have a small network at home and I don't have the problem on my other computer.
Youtube is a big problem for my computer. So is making a movie with Windows Movie Maker. Even the video ads on the sides of web pages make hot air blow out the side. There's about three levels of hot air...softly blowing, then to blowing, then to blowing hard, then it clicks and shuts off. Mine doesn't freeze, though. Now, just doing anything will make it start to blow. Most of the time even ripping a cd onto my computer is too much for it, and it shuts off.

The problem occurs when I try to play a video steam. I have attempted to play videos from youtube or Netflix and they seem to just lock up and shut down my computer.
I can download large files without a problem though.
Any ideas?

This laptop turns its self off without warning, usually when trying to
process graphic intensive programmes such as internet live streaming,
games or java based programmes. I have had the power pack replaced but
problem remains. Is this an overheating hardware issue or software
crash? Any suggestions?
