OK I think I posted this before but I can not fing it any were on the site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So on to the problem

problem::

I turn on my laptop to play a game I play it for a while and then it turns off. It does not go into a shut down procedure nor does it hibernate!!! It just goes off!!! I have tryed it with it plugged in and not plugged in!!

So I wonder do you know what I going on about and can any of you  help!!!

Thanks in advance!!!

Could it be to do with any of the settings on the actual computer. Maybe some hacked has put sime kind of batch file that will automaticlly shut down the laptop after a set number of minutes / hours? Is it a ventilation problem? Are the fans broken?

No i doubt it has been hacked as it is hardely ever connected to the internet and + it only happens in games I think it's a heating issue but I don't know maybe you can help

check two things, firstly your battery, make sure its fully charged with pleanty of life.
then check your your adaptors connection lead, the part which goes into your laptop, and check its in good condition, i had the same problems and found it was my connection lead the plastic bit in the middle which makes sure its held in place perfectly. make sure the plastic hasnt been melted away, and also see what your fully charged battery life is,. i found mine is now 0mins which means new battery.
check these things firstly

The laptop is about a year old and the power charger had died and now it has been replaced so it's not that and it will go up to 100% batrey life so any more surgestions!

Try downloading a driver for your card. My FA was shutting down my PC and restarting it without the new NVIDIA drivers....if not that I don't know

I run Windows '98.... ;D...!

Right click the mouse on the desktop....
Got to Properties> Screen Saver> Settings>
Make sure that the "Shut-down, Standby/Monitor/Hard Disks" settings are set to "NEVER".

I'm going with Craig on this one. Just because the battery CHARGES to 100%, doesn't mean that it's good. I had a similar problem on my laptop, shutdown with NO warning, and it was the battery.  


 Just my two cents!  ::)

do you have any poor connections between cables? could it be and internal problem? like a damaged motherboard of somethink? that happened to my friends laptop. one min it was great then it just crashed. took it to the shop and the motherboard had damaged its self some how.
