My thinkpad a20m automaticly turns itself off. The time its on for before shutting down varies. The fan goes on at startup but once booted into windows i have not seen it spin. Once it turns off by itself i have to unplug power and battery then plug in again to turn on. I would have thought overheating except that i dont see my fan go on while booted into windows and the fact that i have to unplug and replug power to be able to turn on. I also would have thought maybe its a broken fan, but it does go on right when i turn it on and stop once windows has started to load. Any ideas whats wrong?
Thanx
