More than likely the fan above the processor is not working. Or the vents are clogged on the computer case due to dust/dirt. Ventilation.Check the fans.

Do not operate the computer on a bed or other soft surface
it needs to be on a hard surface in order for the vents to work properly

you might also want to use a laptop pad that has it's own fans for more ventilation.
also use a vacuum to clean the dust out of the vents

good luck

Sony vgn cr353 suts down any time and after pressing power on button again its starts with no problem and again any time its power off

Problems could be caused by:
1. If using only battery power, battery could be going bad or needs to be recalibrated (following hps website instructions.

2. If using with power adapter, check sleep mode or screensaver times; turn off sleep mode or modify sreensaver times; could be interfering with antivirus software and shutting system down, some antivirus software is not compatible with laptops.

3. Make sure cooling fan is coming on (listen for operation, it works intermittent.) If laptop gets too hot, it will shut down.

4. Could possibly be viral is cause; if laptop has been used on the internet consistantly, it might be infected, download a free antivirus program and use it.

5. Does problem occur with movement of laptop? Could be short or other defect, return for warranty replacement.

Hope this helps.

My sony vaio vgc-js160j has a blue screen, shutdown and then restarts

When booting press F8,or your button to get to the Screen that has Safe Mode etc on it..then select 'Disable Automatic Restart on System Error'

Maybe it might be a Memory Fault or a Startup Program causing this BsoD.

You might then try to run your PC in Safe mode and look for Programs you installed recently.

Hope this helps

Sony vaio VGN-CR116E/P its work properly with the battery but when you connect AC power after 20 minutes its shutdown

go to your task barat the bottom of the screen and look for the mini icon of the battery with a ac power plug right click it and go to more power options and brows through there there should be an option to change the power settings and you need to make sure that when on ac power it is set not to power down or sleep or shut off hard drive. if you need more information let me know what Operating system you are using and i can be a little more detailed
