Computer keeps shutting down...?

If your computer shuts off while you are using it then the problem seems to be your power supply. I had to change it and replaced it with a more powerfull one to correct this problem on my computer and everything worked fine ever since.

What verison of Windows are you using?  XP has a log.  If you right click on My Computer, Manage, click the plus sign beside Event Viewer, then click on System, you will find a list of most errors that your computer has.\n\nIf you are hearing a click, chances are it is a hardware problem, and not a software problems.  Since it is mostly when you are using a lot of rescorces, it could be that you are over heating, and your system is shutting down on it's own.  Or it could be a video problem.  \n\nYou may want to install a temp monitor on your computer and check it out when gaming.\n\nAlso, check your fans and make sure they aren't clogged up with dirt and dust, also some fans have filters, so if yours does, make sure it is clean.\n\nGood luck

Be careful.  Get fans around it.  Your going to need a new fan, it could be tomorrow or in a couple of months, but it is about to quit.  Until you can get a new fan, get a portable fan down there to cool your system down or you could end up with "melt down".  Good luck.

Sounds like your processor is overheating and the laptop is shutting down to save it.  Make sure that the way you sit with your laptop does not block its fans.  If you're not blocking the fans and your laptop is still under warranty, then take it in and ask them to do some stress tests on it.  Tell them there might be a cooling issue on your processor.

Try removing programs that you don't use. There may be something shutting down in the background that you don't know is running. Also get a good spy-ware removal software such as Spyware Doctor. There could be hundreds of little spy programs running without your knowledge. When Windows shuts down it must first shut down all of the programs that you have running.

If you have already checked the battery, what about the AC adapter cna you run it just on the mains, does it shut down. \n\nIf it doesnt shut down, it just may be that the battery is faulty  or even check the power save/optimisation settings.\n\nIf it does shut down then check the following:\n\nLaptop overheating - make sure none of the vents are blocked/clogged up, when in use.\n\nProcessor Overheating - CPU fan may be faulty, so processor starts to overheat and system shuts down to protect the processor.\n\nGet it checked out by a pro, to be safe.\n\nGood Luck\nBattery Wizard

I heard that happening with some anti virus software.\nTry shutting down after deactivating the software.\n\nIf that doesnt help try finding out if its a hardware problem.\nGet a program called "end it all" which will close down all running applications and your computer should shut down, if it doesnt then its a hardware thing.

the computer turns off, because you might be eitehr using MS windows 2000 or MS Windows XP service pack 1 which had lot of errors. USe MS_windows XP Service PAck 2 for the computer to run better. Hope it solves your problem, enjoy.

u can't solve this problem unless u  repair the hardwares from ur pc. it might have an bios problem or ur hdd it's dieing... If u still got quaranty for it they should fix it.. if not go search some "hardware repairing shops" [could find a sinonime for that :P].

This could be a cooling issue, check your fans and dust out your system. I saw one system the other day that did this because of the massive amount of dust, even though the fans were still turning. \nAlso try starting the computer in safe mode and see if it works then or locks up without restarting. A bad XP install will cause this sort of action. Sometimes there is a bios option that tells the system to restart on error, you can turn this off to help diagnose the problem.

You probably have lot of back ground softwares running... Like Anti virus, Google Desktop Search, Konfabulator, etc which takes time to shut down... Check how many processes are running by doing Ctrl-Alt-Del and checking the processes list.

It is possibly overheating. Check the fan. Check power supply, it could be going out. If not:\nYou probably need to reorder your BIOS by hitting del on startup. If you dont know how to do this please dont try, get help first.\nHere is a search of this problem, choose one of these forums that seems most similar to your system and ask them. They should be able to help. Its hard to troubleshoot a problem on Yahoo Answers as we cannot easily have continuous dialogue.\n\nGood Luck!\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=computer+restarting+over+and+over

Try going into the Control Panel, and selecting Power Management.  There might be an option in there to change what the computer does when the "lid" is closed.
