It seems that your computer needs to have a reinstall of your original setup, because the driver that tells it to shut down is not cooperating. Hopefully you have your original dvd/cd.

yes friend u can shutdown by following tips
alt+f4 or
esc button

That's probably due to some software changes. Try to shutdown using the power button. Then reboot your laptop, check if problem still occurs.

OR you can do this...

1. Open RUN
2. Type shutdown -s -f -t 0
3. Press Enter


Thanks & Regards,

1- Scanning computer to eliminate malwares, spywares and the viruses from your laptop.
2- Repairing and cleaning Windows registry.
These two tips are found to be very helpful to fix the laptop shutdown problem. Almost all the computer users surf internet which could result in viruses attacking your system. Some of these infections are really pesky and cause the machines to shutdown randomly.
The registry errors, however, are the internal errors and can become a cause of system crashes and freezes. The registry keys shall be in good health to keep a system perfect.
When I noticed my laptop keeps shutting down everytime, I tested the Intel Software Partner, RegInOut to fix the random shutdown problem with my laptop.

If the Computer restarts randomly, then the issue might be due to any damaged Operating System Files.
But, if the Computer shuts down randomly, it is due to the Processor.
All the Processors will be designed in such a way that, if there is any overheating issues, the Computer will shut down randomly.
The overheating might occur due to the malfunction of the Cooling Fan in the Computer.
As this is a overheating issue, it would be better to get the Unit examined at the Service Center.
Replacing the Cooling Fan in the Computer should resolve the issue.

hi, yes the laptop will shutdown if you press power button.
it send command to OS that it required to shutdown in emergency so it shutdown in force. so do not shutdown by pressing the power button. use start> shutdown option.
i hope this will resolve the issue.

it seems to be a virus effected scan your system with latest anti virus and coming to shutdown hold the shutdown button for 10 to 15 seconds

if you want to shutdown your laptop automatically go to power option from control panel and from there you can schedule the time after using how many minute or hour you would like to automatically shutdown your laptop. Try it !! Good luck.

Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds and then release it. This will shutdown the laptop regardless of what state it is in. If it still doesn't shutdown then disconnect the laptop from the powersupply and remove the battery. Note that this will count as an improper shutdown. After it shuts don put the battery back in and you should be able to power it up.
