    Hi people,
    have recently bought a 2nd hand acer aspire 5315? with 1yr guarantee but it goes off at times without any warning, esp. when online and also not. the seller is saying no cos for the 4th time they cant see what am talking about as it doesnt happen when they have it. they blame it on a possible external DH I MIGHT be USING AT HOME. they also talk about overheating. which is not true as i only use ext. webcam and mic.
    the battery(charged) and the cable(connected) are always ok when it happens. i initially blamed it on these: battery and cable. OS is vista home
    thankx guys

    Use Real Temp or Core Temp to see what kind of temperatures you are getting
