    Hi,
    can anyone please help me as I am getting desperate now. My laptop has developed a habit of randomly turning itself off for no reason. One minute it is on and working fine, the next minute it turns itself off. I don`t know what is happening or how to stop it. Any ideas?
    thanks

    probably a cooling issue. Clean the laptop / check the cooling unit / etc.

    Thanks, it does get a bit hot and the fans seems noisy, but I don`t want to fiddle too much in case I break anything. I`m not very good with hardware.
