[> Usually a computer suddenly shutting down means it is overheating. Listen to see if you can hear the fan going. If not, pop open the case and gently blow some canned air in there to see if maybe the fan's stuck. If it is the cooling fan, you can get that replaced pretty easily. -- Sarahsue, 20:56:45 12/04/07 Tue [1]

[> I had a problem with mine old laptop overheating and took it in. The computer repair place showed me how to use canned compressed air to blow on the cooling fan on the bottom and then the heatsink which is on the side or the back. A lot of dust will blow out of both places. Keep the top closed so you do not hit the screen with the air accidently. I do this now about every 2 months and have not had the problem since. You can also blow out the dust and othe stuff from the keyboard, just be sure to cover your screen. -- Jeanaz8, 04:35:48 12/15/07 Sat [1]
