Anyone got any ideas why my advent 7210 laptop keeps switching itself off, completely RANDOM, will run all day sometimes,other TIMES will switch itself off after 10 minutes.Do you have virus protection? Have you made any changes to your system lately? Does this only happen when performing large tasks such as games, etc.? Which operating system are you using?

[glb]Flame[/glb]operating system is xp.  nothing modifyed recently, uae avg anti virus.  doesnt seem to make any differerance if im running a large program or not   :-/Well... You might not like what I have to say, but... You need to have your heat sink inspected... Probably by a professional at an electronics store... My guess is that the heat sink is not working properly, and your computer is OVERHEATING, thus making it shut down... My second guess here, is that your power SUPPLY might be dying... However... Try the heat sink first...
