Laptop randomly shutting off
I'm not 100% sure why, but my Toshiba is shutting off on its own.
Mainly occurs when Flash is running.
It's not a soft-down; it's instant.
Pretty sure it's not my power being remove (although I need to send my battery in; no longer holding a full charge :(). I witnessed 3 lights, no lights, 1 light, 2 lights.
What would be causing it? I've been thinking something to do with "cpu shutoff on thermal extreme", but it doesn't feel all that hot.
Any and all help is appreciated.

It's overheating. Mine did the same, then I tore it apart and blew all the dust out.
Re: Laptop randomly shutting off
I dusted mine out, and it's still OHing.
Need to redo the HS?
Re: Laptop randomly shutting off
yeah, replace any spring clips with screws and washers.

I've heard of people getting ~10C drop in temps on their laptops by simply removing any old thermal paste and using some decent stuff like AS5 or whatnot. I'd imagine its a rare case for that large of a drop, but it couldn't hurt.

My dell actually dropped a bit more than that, my eeepc could use it but I don't know if I want to take it apart to do it.

Unfortunately, the clamping system is super-cheap with 2 screw holes TOTAL.
I'll get back to you later after I recover from an HDD crash.
Just visit here to see what Google has to offer.
*If my cooling situation works out, and when I get more cash, I may get one of these as an upgrade.
