Solve : Laptop crashes .... I'm beyond frustrated?

Answer»

HI!!
I stumbled across this website and i am hoping you can help. I have an ACER Aspire 5610Z, bought it a few yrs back and only in the past month or two has it been crashing after watching movies under Media Center or being on the internet for a few hours.

I consider myself to be PRETTY cautious; I run my *censored* clean up, computer scans, antivirus, etc on a weekly {sometimes every 2 DAYS}, depending on usage. I always delete my cookies and temp files but I do use the heck out of it.

I dont know what could be causing the problem. I went to the microsoft website since i have vista {i thought there was yet another issue with that} but i BELIEVE {im not fluent in computer lingo} I am up to date and all updated with patches, etc.

But...is my laptop worthless {please say no!!!!!}  or is there hope??? I would really appreciate any help / advise you could provide....

what exactly do you mean?You need to tell us EXACTLY what is happening if you want any kind of relevant help. First of all, please define "crash"Thanks for the reply...

by crashes I mean it suddenly shuts down. It does not slowly close the programs/windows open prior to doing so. One minute, youre watching a movie, the next - off.

while internet use, i mean for example, im on youtube.com, watching Leary or Ferrara stand-up comedy and suddenly - off. I have also been simply surfing the NET, looking things up but when I'm not watching a movie, it takes 2-3 hours before it suddenly shuts down like that. With the movie, its definetly every 20 minuts or so and there is no pop-up or advisory of any kind prior to the computer turning off.

the only way i can seem to TURN it back on, is to wait a few minutes after disconnecting the power cable from my laptop.
