    I've had my G73SW for two years now, never had any problems with it, but about a week ago it started to randomly shutdown. I wouldn't even be playing games or anything, just browsing the internet it would sometimes shutdown. I figured the problem was the battery was going bad because I had a message saying there was a critical battery failure about a week before the problem started so I replaced the battery. That didn't help in the slightest, and it still randomly shuts off. Sometimes after it shuts off I'll press the power button and all the lights come up like the laptop is turning on but then it instantly shuts off again without even making it to the windows screen. I've been monitoring core temperature, which stays low, but I don't think that's a problem if it instantly shuts down after turning it on again. Moving the laptop or my mouse can even make it turn off sometimes.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance
