Auto ShutDown: Laptope

[KhalidShahin]

Hi, this past mounth my Laptop has been acting up! First of all it would not start and i could not even get to the log in screen, i fixed this by re-formating my computer. after that it kept shutting down by itself randomly. i know its NOT overheating due to the fact that it happens within 10 minutes of me using the computer. AT first i thought it shuts down becuase of WoW (World Of warcraft) but then today i as watching one of this websites youtube videos it shut down.Now i am using the home computer and im desperate. i would love to ask if i should buy a new graphics card, or  the laptop is just broken for good! i fixed it 4 times already at the computer shop. my sisters tells me that computers are made to break once and for good so people buy more laptops, although i do not belive her.


P>S: i use windows 7 ultimate
        i have 4GB ram
        64 Bit

Hello,

When you first turn on your laptop, do you hear the fan spinning loudly? Or do you hear a fan at all?

Before it shuts down is there any error message that pops up or does anything strange happen like something lighting up on the laptop or screen?

btw, unless it's one of those newer, super expensive "gaming" laptops you will not be able to upgrade the graphics card. It is probably built into it.
