Laptop cuts off during operation and when I attempt to log back on it cuts off again.

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    When you say it "cuts off", do you mean it freezes, logs you off, closes the program you were using, or powers down completely?

Hi

Thank you for your query

Please do the following steps to narrow the problem down

1) Switch on the laptop
2) Once switched there may be a meeage that says press del or F12 to enter setup, if not try the del key or F12
3) This will being you into the bios screen, once in there let the laptop run, if the laptop keeps cutting out in tis mode, you will have a overheating issue

If it is overheating then try cleaning out the vent where the hot air comes out from, if that doesnt looked block then it looks like the Heat sink (the fan that cools the CPU down) is faulty and will need to replaced.

If however it does not cut out then you have a sftware issue and i would recommned a clean install

Hope this helps

If this has been useful please leave positive feedback/vote

My xbox will not download the update when i turn it on, how can i fix this?

Here's how I fixed mine. When I got the message stating that the download was unsuccessful I went into settings, then network, and I tested my network connection. During a network test it automatically logs your profile out, but when the test came back good, before it logged my profile back in, it asked me to update again. I hit "a" to accept the update and it worked this time. I think the key is that it has to attempt the update before logging your profile back in. I think the key is updating with the profile logged out, which under normal circumstances you can't do, only during a network test.

If that fix doesn't work you might try going into your network settings in the dashboard and lowering your firewall restrictions, then updating, then putting your firewall restrictions back to what they were.
