Random System Turn Offs

Hollisterlovehc · 04-24-2009, 04:07 PM

Hi,
I am having the same problem i have an acer aspire 3680 laptop and it's just randomly turning off . I can start it and within a minute it will just turn off. Then there's times where it runs fine. just lately it's been turning off a lot . I'm not sure buy a new one . I've tried fixing it but nothing has work. Would it be the charger? I'm not sure what it could possibly be. If someone could possibly help me here i would appreciate that a lot thank you.

May be it is overheating. Try cleaning the heatsink/vents areas. Use a can of compressed air to blow out the dust or other particles that may be blocking the air flow.

If problem continues, run RAM (use Memtest86+) and HDD diagnostics (Seatools or Hitachi). D/load links are on my sig.
