--------- Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 This doesn't sound like a software fault but more of a hardware fault, predominantly the battery and charging circuit. As with all rechargeable batteries they have a limited lifespan and eventually only hold a charge for a couple of minutes. What happens if you run the laptop on the AC power, does it stay on or not? Take a look at your laptops power management settings, is there anything that could be causing it? Do a simple full virus scan, and see if anything comes up, it may be a trojan. A couple of reasons why may be; a. A faulty charger/PSU that is not producing enough power to feed the machine and recharge the battery at the same time. b. Also could be an overheating problem (like you said before). Make sure that all the fans are spinning and no heatsinks are loose. Try a can of compressed air, blowing out all opening's to the innards of the laptop like heat sinc's and fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
