Laptop just shuts down with a euurrrhhhhh....

eskimomo · 07-04-2007, 09:40 PM

Yeah, my Laptop keeps just shutting down after half an hour, sometimes an hour of being on.
It just shuts down without warning, and I have to wait another hour at least, in which it will be on for another... say 30 minutes.
I need help, I might soon be getting a mac, maybe, but until then I need to fix this Laptop. Anyone know what i can do?
And I cant scan my computer because while its scanning it will just turn off.

is it a loose battery? chack the connection maybe you've been knocking it in use causing it to disconnect so all power is lost cauing ti to shut down. might also be a hard drive failure
