can you check to see if the fan is moving, it can over heat and shuts down when the processor gets hot you would not feel it though case. also make sure the vents are clean as this is were the fan blows cooler air over to cool the processor-s down.

Have you cleaned the cpu fan? The computer has a cpu fan that can get dirty over time. It's job is to keep the cpu cool. When the cpu overheats, the computer senses it and shuts it down immediately, to prevent permanent damage to the cpu. You can clean it by blowing compressed air into it, and should do that every few months, as routine maintenance. This is the most common thing that shuts a laptop down, other problems involve repair, so try this first. I bough a $7 three inch fan at Walmart to help cool the laptop, and when I run it, I never have it shut down on me, but once in awhile it will without the fan, especially when I play dvds or videos, which really work th' heck out of the cpu. There are also commercial laptop cooling devices, but my little fan works just fine. The other thing that could be happening is some problem with windows, which is something I couldn't begin to guess. Hope it's just a bit too much heat.

Causes:

1. Overheat

Most cases this is caused by a over heat where the system fan gets blocked or there is not enought air flow, this can damage the system cpu.

Other known causes

AC/ adapter needs to be replaced some case were found that the ac adapter would be the cause as well it would be something to have checked out.

Now if the system shuts off without the ac adapter and its running on the battery as well you might want to look at the overheat issue.

try removing or disconnecting the CMOS battery of the laptop......then put it back after 5-10mins

to get by this you will need to remove the laptop battrey for a couple of mins then put it back in,that works for most laptops.not saying it will work for you,but its worth a try

DO NOT DO THIS. If you remove the power your computer will turn off immediately. This is especially dangerous if you computer is installing updates which could potentially ruin the OS. If you need to shut down this way (crashes, etc.) I would hold down the power button for about 5 seconds, but even then only do this if you have no other choice.

I had the same problem. It is due to the touch pad being to sensitive. My fix was to buy a usb mouse, and disable to trackpad by hitting the Fn key and F7. No problems anymore

Your new computer has a defective screen. Return it to place of purchase and return it.

Is the laptop in hibernation mode? try hard resetting laptop hold down the power key for 10 sec with power cord unplugged. if this does not work grab a flash light and see if there is any display, if there is it is a backlight that is out behind the screen. Next try attaching an external screen to the laptop if there is a display its your lcd needs to be replaced

restart the computer HOLD the keys FN +f8 and go to troubleshooting and fix it. God bless you
