    Computer Shutting Off - Suspected Overheating


    So I recently updated Windows 10 to the latest update, my Intel graphics card, as well as my NVIDIA graphics card the latter was 22 months out of date.


    I now seem to have problems with the system shutting down suddenly. I am unsure of the reason - I suspect it may be overheating, but it doesn't feel hotter than it normally does.


    I have tried searching the web for the potential issue, which most of the problems appear to be due to a Bitcoin miner, but several anti-virus searches as well as looking through task manager shows no abnormalities.


    Another thing is a possible collection of dust in the system preventing the cooling system from working. I am reluctant to try this as I don't know the inside of my laptop well and have not opened it in the 6 years of owning it. Also, the laptop is moved very irregularly, and I doubt that that would be the problem by co-incidence.


    Apologises if this is posted on the incorrect site.

    Please let me know if you need any more information.

    :)

    Hi Sheila,

    Hi Sheree,
