Well since 2 days I have problems with my laptop.
I only have MSN, Firefox and iTunes opened, nothing else. And after something like 2/3 hours, my computer switch off, without any reason.

So who knows what the matter is ?

Here's my config :
- Mobile Intel Pentium 4 - 3.06Ghz
- 1024Mb of RAM
- nVidia GeForce Go5100

It'd be cool if someone could help me... Ask if you want other informations about my computer.

Damn it'd be fucking annoying to reinstall it...
And I don't know if that's the problem 'cause my comp gets really hot when it is switched on...

Dunno...

I think Fox knows what's the problem but my guess is the same as KM. Or you can always call a computer maintenance dude, they'll know what to do.

If it gets really hot, then just randomly switches off, could be overheating? I bet the fans are on the bottom, and you have the fan on your leg or on the bed or something, not a flat surface? .....any takers? It's overheating because your blocking the fan maybe? Or just overheating cus the fan is bust.

Damn Aries that was right !
I just had something blocking the fan, I removed it and now it appears to be OK

I love you <3

likely overheating, try using it in a cold room and see if it does the same

note most people call them notebooks now not laptops because they burn your lap heh

if its a hear problem, either you could attempt to fix it yourself by applying some new thermal grease or take it into the shop for some new cooling

Lol mine just freezes and never safely shuts off. You think it would right before it gets to the critical point, but no. No safety mechanisms. What sucks. I have it sitting on milk crates with 12" desk fan blowing right on the chasis. It still overheats.

Not to mention something is screwed up with my BIOS. And this was from the builder straight. Never buy from IBuyPower. Dell for Notebooks. Build your own PC.

And NEVER EVER EVER, go HP, Compaq, or Toshiba. Their customer service is suck. And their computers are shite without option for self-maintainence and add-ons. Everthing is hardwired into the freaking motherboard.

Oh and Asus (pronounced Zeus, I bet most of you geeks did not know that. Maxwell might) for motherboards.

i think i heard that before, somehow i didn't know that. im not a big ASUS fan but they are quality never the less...

wikipedia says differently "ASUSTeK Computer Inc.Pronounced (aa-Suess)"

MSI for motherboards and eVGA for GPU is how i roll, although i haven owned many MSI boards,
