    Issue here - I bought a Gateway LT3103U Netbook last year and used it sparingly. Lately I've been using it for web surfing, etc........and it has started having an issue.

    I've noticed the CPU tends to run at 100% when I'm moving from one web page to another.......then all of a sudden the entire pc turns off????

    If I try to turn it back on, it doesn't do anything........if I wait about 2 minutes, it'll turn back on.

    Since it takes a few minutes, my thought is the processor is overheating and the pc is shutting down. However, I know more about rebuilding a motor on a hotrod than I do a computer.

    Anyone have a suggestion?
