Re: Laptop turning off suddenly

It is quite strange then I doubt it is related to overheating since every time it does turn off, there's no sign of heat anywhere on the surface of the machine.

I guess i can buy a new battery and see if that does the trick, when my laptop turns off, i can immediately turn it on again afterwards, so a battery that can last for at least a minute or so should be able to rule out any problems related with the power supply.


If it is related to overheating then i guess cleaning the vents (not that they're dirty right now but still) and getting one of those cooling pads should do it?

Please correct me if i'm wrong though, as i'm not an expert in the subject...

And i will check that SpeedFan thing out too, it might take me a bit of time though since i've had my laptop on today for more than 2 hours now, i don't know if it will give me trouble again today.

Thanks for the help so far.
