I have a nearly 3 year old Toshiba laptop with windows 7It was running fine till few days ago and now its giving me problemsMy computer just turns off by itself, it just turns off wen i am usin itit doesnt turn on for few seconds wen I click the power buttonbut it later turns on! I thought it was the battery, but the last time it turned off it had 86% battery.Wat can I do? How can I fix this Problem?
Have you noticed if your computer is heating more than usual? That could be the problemWhen a computer reaches a critical temperature it turns off to protect damageTo avoid overheating, you could try placing your laptop in a way that the fan intake is clear, allowing air to pass easilyNever put your laptop directly over blankets, sheets or any other cloth or fabric, because the air intake gets blocked and it won't have the necessary airflow, besides the fibers could get into your fan, making it less effective and over time it could even jamIt is also important to maintain the fan as clean as possible, you can do it by using a vacuum cleaner (while your computer is turned off) or compressed air and blow it into the fanIf your problem is indeed overheating, you should start by cleaning the fan.
ditto to ben-this is danger with a big D
