Laptop shuts itself down - Page 2

It only turns on once the computer turns on, after windows starts to load it stops spinning. And it doesnt turn back on no matter how hot the cpu gets.

First, try and set the power scheme to Portable/Laptop and see if that helps. Also, it is worth getting a cooling pad. These are a few good ones.

If that doesn't help, then you should considder going down the road of flashing your BIOS.

Nop, tryed flshing it didn't help, guess maybe its a faulty area of motherboard?

Have you noticed what temperature it shuts down at? The BIOS controls this, and if it is shutting down when the temperature is within a normal range of operation, then it doesn't have to do with the sensor. That is 'just the messenger'.

I would take steps to reduce the heat. That is probably the easy way out.
