Hello liqahoochie!

Welcome to the Forum!

When it shuts down, what programs are you using please?


Looking forward to your reply

Hello liqahoochie,
Often this can be the result of overheating. Shut down the laptop and use canned air to clean out all of the cooling paths, usually on the back and bottom.
