My laptop keeps turning itself off.

It has been happening for the last 2 weeks, but i have dowloaded no new software and i am not doing anything different to before.

Also my anti virus says there is no viruses.

Can anything think of why and a solution?

Thanks

Hello Elephantemg,

how long would you say before shutdown is happening?

it varies, sometimes it turns of like today about 3hrs after it went on.

Monday it was on for nearly 8hrs before it went off

Yesterday, it didn;t go off at all



I have wondered if it is a power issue, but i am alway plugged in and battery is there as standby - doesn't seem to make any difference.

Initially i wondered if it was an issue with msn games, but it has since happened twice when not on - although msn is always on.

i would check your power settings first to make sure there is no problem. what type of laptop do you own.

satellite pro l10 [toshiba]

how do i check power settings?

are you running xp or vista?
