    Computer randomly shuts off when not in use


    I have been noticing that sometimes when I leave my Laptop running with the lid shut, I will come back to it hours later to find it has shut off.


    other times the fan will be running for some time after closing the lid.


    One time, I shut the lid one afternoon, and when I came back to my laptop about 8 hours later, the fan was running pretty hard and when I lifted the lid, the screen stayed dark and the laptop didn't respond I hard reset it.


    I am unsure whether these issues could be serious or not.

  2. Laptop randomly shuts down after latest Windows 10 update

    Since the latest update of Windows 10 my computer decides to randomly shut down after every couple of minutes. First the screen goes black, then the sounds stops and after quite a while the power also goes down.

    Obviously I though of cleaning the fan with a big vacuum, as suggested on My Windows 10 Computer Randomly Shuts Down . However, after doing this, the shutting down goes even quicker. I cannot even properly log-on before the shutdown takes place.

    What should be my next step?

    Ps. The computer is quited aged (roughly 3 - 4 years). The battery is dead enough such that I always need to have it plugged in an outlet. It might just be "done for" but I'm hoping to revive it for just a little bit more.

    Computer: Intel (R) Pentium (R) Dual cpu
    E220@2.406hz
    2.42 GHZ, 2.00 GB of RAM

    Ever since I replaced the fan (with heat sink) the computer has randomly shut down and then restarted, at first during streaming, and now, will shut down and restart anytime. I tried to replace the graphics card to no avail. *Confused Computer randomly shuts off when not in use :confused:*Mad Computer randomly shuts off when not in use :mad:

    One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

    Any suggestions on how to repair my computer?
