Hi I have two identical laptops, one is constantly shutting itself off, it has 512 mb ram, 2.8 gb processor, 40 gig hard drive, it has the same spec as the other one, the other one works ok. Can somebody please perhaps suggest reasons why this laptop is behaving like this? Its very frustrating when it does this as you could be on line doing something and after ten minutes it turns off, it also over heats I think. Once you have rebooted it, it turns off again ten minutes later. Please could some one help. This is mum's computer and she like me is frustrated with it. Also the battery doesn't charge up, even though it's a brand new battery.
