Freya Mokusei Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 It's likely overheating. Clean the vents, use a cooling mat, or use a desktop PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwakkelde Kwak Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Sounds like overheating to me as well, either CPU or GPU. You could try to monitor your temperatures to be sure. Even when it isn't the cause of your problem it's good practice. Depending on your hardware you could use Speedfan, Realtemp, Coretemp, HWmonitor, Everest or any other monitoring tool.

Baloo Uriza Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 This comes up often enough that Google would have answered this faster. If it's under warranty, call the manufacturer and have them clean it. Otherwise, you need to take it apart and get all the dirt out of the fans and ducts. Blasting through the vents is probably insufficient if you have pets, live in a humid climate, and/or smoke. If you have a Compaq or HP, you're probably screwed, HP doesn't really care about proper cooling under load, and Compaq is HP's discount brand.

Nalates Urriah Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 When you ask a tech question include information about your computer and viewer. If the viewer will at least show the login screen, get the info from the viewer's Help-About... and paste that into your post with your question. Help->About... provides all the version numbers we need. To add your info to an existing question use OPTIONS->EDIT. It’s in the upper right of your post.

Orca Flotta Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yeah, I lost a lappy under similar conditions. It just shut down completely in shorter and shorter intervals ... until some day, in the middle of a Linux updating, it crapped out completely.:smileysurprised: And it was a "good" laptop, a 1100 € Asus. :smileysad: The best, or worst, thing about my lappy's dead was that I knew about the overheating problem. I already operated it on a fanned cooling stand and had the whole bottom cover taken off. Stil it wasn't up to the task of running SL on ultra graphics.
