unexpected Shutdown
« on: May 20, 2009, 16:08 »
Havent posted on here for a while so hi guys!

Got a slight problem with my laptop. Its fairly decent spec so i can play some games on it. When i do play a game, occaisionally the whole laptop just switches its self off, i'd say this happens 1 in 3 times I play a game. It doesnt shut down or anything, just complely loses power almost instantly.

Also on another (possibly unrelated) note, whenever it is on it lets of a high pitched 'screech' about once an hour, sometime more frequently.

Hopefylly someone can shed some light on what might be causing this? Just to clarify, i havent changed in in any way since I bought, it runs vista 64, and has 4gb ram

It sounds like you have a very dusty laptop which is overheating. My guess would be the screech is a clogged fan.
Slainthe!
