Laptop dies with 80% charge
Hello,
I am having a serious problem with my laptop (Advent 5301) under Windows 7. A couple of weeks ago the battery in the laptop would continue to make the system operate until it ran it, (obviously). I have started to notice that the computer dies after 80%, but the battery doesn't die as you can turn the computer back on afterwards. So I am wondering, is there a option in the Advance Power Options to disable the computer from automatically shutting it (it doesn't even go through the shut down process, it just terminates), or if I should invest in another battery, this will be the last alternative as the batteries cost £60 .
N.B. The laptop works perfectly when plugged in and charges, it's when it is running on battery when this charges.
Thank you for any help,
