This generally leads to dissatisfaction of the customers towards the desired brand companies like Dell, HP, Lenovo, Sony, etc. No matter what, your laptop shuts down after an excessive use. The most commonly caused problems include, overheating, battery, hardware failure, ram cashing, faulty power supply, no laptop service, or window issue.
These following information can greatly help you in understanding the issues and reasons why your laptop shuts down suddenly and how to fix them!
Overheating
Studies shows that in randomly shut down of computer 9 out of 10 case it’s problem with overheating.
Overheating is generally caused by excessive use of laptop. It can also be caused by using your laptop in a place having high temperature, or by placing your laptop over the heating absorbing items. Another major cause of this problem is of cooling hardware or the dust problem. Most of the laptop after a long usage carry this major problem. In this, the laptops become extremely hot and the fan throws extremely hot air. Fan not working is one of the main reason of overheating

Battery
Battery problem is another major reason for random shutdown of laptop. This problem usually occurs after a long use age of laptops, or excessive charging. If your laptop shuts down randomly, test your battery if it’s working well or not. If it isn’t, you really need to buy a new battery. Make sure the battery has the same amperes the laptop requires, otherwise your laptop might have problems while working.
How to fix:Â Change the battery or get it checked with any laptop repairing center.
Hardware failure
This isn’t a common problem, but when it occurs, you cannot resolve this problem by yourself. If you are sure that all the parts of your laptop are working well, but the laptop just turned off, you should go and have your laptop checked by the service centers. Make sure the service center has enough expertise to check and repair your laptop. Because, most of the people do not have enough laptop hardware repairing expertise.
How to fix:Â Take it to the service center of laptop company.
Computer virus
This is the most common problem that persists in almost every computer. A Virus is like an Armageddon for computer. It almost destroys everything on your laptop.
How to fix: Do not panic, you can easily fix this problem by installing antivirus software. If you still have the virus problem in your computer, you need to go and have your laptop checked by the service center.
Ram issue
Most of the laptops either stop working or just turn off randomly because of ram crashing problem. This problem generally occurs when your ram stops working or by the displacement of your ram.
How to fix: To resolve this problem, unplug your ram, cool and clean it out and plug it again. Check if the problem is solved or not. If it doesn’t go and have your laptop checked by the service center.
Faulty charger or power supply
There is another major cause for the laptops to turn off randomly that is the faulty power supply. It is the most dangerous problem as it can cause severe problems to your laptop like your laptop can go dead due to the faulty power supply. Because the value of current decrease and also increases, so it greatly damages the battery and laptop itself. If you are having the same problem, it is recommended for you to change your power supply as soon as possible. If you are not sure if it’s the problem of power supply, you can also test it, whether it’s working well or not!
How to fix:Â Find an alternative charger of same company and plug it into your laptop and test it. Or get a new one.
No laptop service
There is no doubt in the fact that the service of laptops is very important as it greatly affects the processing of laptops. With no service of laptop, there comes great problems. The most common problems are overheating, random shut down and slow processing. Therefore, it is mandatory to service your laptop regularly from dust for a smooth and fast processing. There is no other way to resolve this issue.
How to fix: Take your laptop to a well know service centers or laptop repairing shop and have them clean it properly. Or you can do it yourself if laptop is not under warranty by removing the cover and cleaning the dust with brush or air blower.

That is, you can simply reinstall your windows. How it will benefit? It will remove all the viruses from your computer and make the processing of your computer faster and smoother.
What if the problem remains?
In most of the cases, you might have seen some laptops don’t seem to work even after checking every part of your laptop! I myself had the same situation once. If you have the same problem with your laptop, it is recommended to take your laptop at the service center to get it repaired. There is no other solution to that problem. This is the only thing you can do if your laptop randomly turns off without any warning.

The above mentioned solutions are the best and the easiest ways to resolve these problems. If you do not have such problems, you are the lucky one to use a perfect machine.
None of these are my problem. My laptop turns itself off and doesn’t restart, every two weeks on a Tuesday, anytime between midday and midnight or so. I have looked for the programme that is doing this, but cannot find it anywhere. It started after I did a back up to a portable hard drive about six months ago. At first it was every Tuesday, now it is every fortnight. I used a My Passport hard drive to back up to. I think I must have accidentally told the laptop to back up or something, even though I don’t have the device plugged in and haven’t since that back up. This is driving me mad now, please help.
You might want to delete any backup software of My Passport. If it doesn’t work, least you can do is try to reinstall windows completely. I hope it will fix your problem.

My laptop keeps shutting down and restarting after about 5 minutes or so. When it starts it says that is there is an application error.
Check your RAM and your battery. I’m not an expert but it seems like your RAM is failing, or your laptop doesn’t have enough power for it. It could be also a CPU problem…

u need a new hard drive that it takes a lot longer to boot the older it is because the mechanical arm is wearing out and is taking longer to find the necessary info to boot I suggest a SSD it is much faster but the down side it cost more to get more space like a 1 tb hard drive might cost $100 but a 1 tb SSD might cost around $245 just because a SSD is stored on a chip rather than a set of disks
my laptop just start for a few seconds with an unusual sound of fun then turns off again…. what can be the problem?

what shits me is old windows version used to tell us why your pc had shut down unexpectedly. But here in windows 8 – I have to push the start button and then starts as if nothing had happened- Also I see nothing noted in “Event viewer” which really sucks – Just Blame bill gates – wonder if it happens only on windows or does it also on LINUX ?
please let us know – if I upgrade to the modern pc -( pc incorporated into the monitor) do they do the same SHIT ???

Try taking out the batt and memory stick, then hold down the power button to about 1 min . Then replace items then power the device back up and see what happens

My laptop goes off suddenly.
When there is still enough battery of about 50% .
When it goes off, I have to charge it for about an hour before I will be able to turn it on.
You need to replace the battery.
Replace your battery. I feel like the system thinks that there is more battery capacity than there actually is, making your computer shut down randomly when the battery is actually 0%.
Also, if you didn’t know, the capacity of batteries become smaller over time. For example, a 4,000mAh battery could really be a 2,000mAh one after using it for a long time.
My laptop turns off exactly 2 hours after I turn it on, every time, everyday for the past two months. I suspect this is a processor issue but am not sure. I do not understand why the exact 2 hours gap for self-turn off. If anybody is knowledgeable about the issue, please educate me. I will address the problem accordingly. Thanks in anticipation.

I used my laptop few hours ago and I tried to on it back plugged in my charger and press the power button but its does nor on
My laptop usually just turns off but then in order to turn it back on, I have to connect my charger. Why does this happen? What should I do to fix the problem?
Most commonly an overheating problem due to dust build up. Hence after a period of time the circuitry switches off to prevent damage. Get someone who knows what they are doing to clean out the dust carefully.
Yesterday night I was working on my laptop for 4 hrs. And randomly it got shutdown, but it din’t get fully tuned off, there was a blue page in my lap, (there showed a notification as OVER HEATING AFTER THE DISPLAY OF BLUE PAGE) then I turned off my lap using power button, then again I restarted it, it happens to be the same thing, So again morning I did the same thing as restarting but it became well. I consulted about this with some one they said it is due to battery problem,but I changed my battery recently only. What may be the cause for this problem MAY BE BATTERY PROBLEM or OVER HEATING.
Two days before I charged the laptop for more than usual hours.
kindly notify the reason.
Help! My laptop suddenly turns off after i updated the drivers using or when a device (mouse, keyboard,etc) was put or removed.
So if my laptop says “Locking” right before it shuts down, what is my problem? I don’t know, maybe it’s just because this laptop is old, but if anybody can help with my problem, please say something. Thank you.
None of these problems are for my ACER Aspire E15, it just shutdown while I was watching a movie this morning and won’t boot again.

hp laptop
My HP laptop turns off when I pick it up. I have never dropped it. It is under a yr old. Has plenty of battery.
I have 2 older HP laptops that both started shutting down without warning within days of each other. Could a Windows update have caused this? Or, why would 2 laptops start doing this at the same time? Both ran great before this, both have been on cooling pads for a long time. Just seems odd to me that it would be a problem with the computers themselves when it is 2 computers at the same time, right?
my laptop shuts down and wont restart it says locked then shuts down and wont start back . HELP
MY laptop (Dell Latitude e5420, 16 GB RAM, i7 2760qm) shuts down intermittently (not very often, but quite often) when on battery power. The battery indicator turns red and starts blinking, then it just switches off. The battery, charger and RAM are absolutely fine and the system does not overheat anytime. What could be the cause of the problem and the solution to it?
I had my computer on the charger as I was trying to finish up an assignment. I walked away from the computer for approx 20 minutes and when I come back, it was off and I couldn’t get it to come back on I removed the charging cord and my computer is very hot to the touch. I’m trying to cool it down right now?
What is happening?
