Windows 10: Windows 11 laptop randomly shuts down on very slight impacts.

so, i love this thing. my sister gave it to me and it runs amazingly and is very low-maintenance. although i'm not the hugest fan of Windows 11, it gets the job done. One very large and annoying issue that i've had however, is really impacting my ability to work on projects and such. on any small--and i mean SMALL--impact, like my knee accidentally bumping the bottom of the computer, my laptop will just completely shut down. it used to make this awful screeching noise, but thankfully it's gone now. but the shutdowns still persist. can anyone help me? i think it might be the fans halting for a

laptop randomly shutting down

I have a gateway laptop w/ amd turion 64x2 processors,windows vista. I use to be able to play games all day, do 10 things at once and my laptop was fine. All of a sudden i have ran into the problem of my laptop randomly shutting down. At first it was just shutting down when i was playing video games (games that doesn't even have the greatest of graphics and that i played ever since i had laptop which has been for about 2 years); ide say i would be able to play about 5-20 min and randomly would shut down. Then i stopped playing video games on this and now just download music and playing music and if i am downloading music and playing music and converting music it will shut down on me. Seems to keep getting worse and worse, like today i was just browsing the internet it it shutdown on me. I did get a blue screen the other day as well, first time it has happened to me on this laptop. If anyone could tell me what this could be i would greatly appreciate it.

Another note: If i unplug my laptop from the recharger i can usually play until the battery is dead, but it will make my computer real laggy and choppy so its not even worth to do when playing games.

 

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.

 

Windows 11 Laptop Randomly Reboots

Hi all-- I have a new Windows 11 laptop that randomly reboots itself once or twice a day. This occurs mostly when I've stepped away. System logs come back with Event ID 41: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

I've tried just about everything out there and engaged tech support but no one has been able to solve the issue with this lemon. Any help greatly appreciated. Laptop is 2 months old and has been randomly rebooting for a while now.
