I've got my new charger in the mail. So far my laptop is functioning way better! It is staying cooler with the new charger too. I haven't been electrocuted and it hasn't shut off on me. I literally just got the charger a few minutes ago so it's really too soon to say if my problem is fixed. Will update again.
Yeah, so far so good. The REAL test is the idle time while I'm sleeping.
I like to leave my laptop on often. I cut it off once in a while to give it a break and I certainly have been lately. I have a nice elevated stand with a laptop cushion for my lap. Will update again!
It did it again. Shut off and won't come back on. What do I do?

According to event 6008 it lost power somehow? Was the charger connected while it was shut down? I'm thinking if not the battery run down.
If you have a w7 DVD you can try booting it and doing a Startup repair. Startup Repair
The battery certainly didn't run down. It was plugged in at the time. Btw, what does the Windows DVD do? I can't erase my hard drive since I don't have the necessary things to back it up.So, if I launch Startup Repair, will it tell me if it detects something wrong? I'll try it...
It said it couldn't find a problem...
Will w7 start up at all, even Safe mode? Tapping F8 during booting will bring up Advanced Startup Options, select Safe Mode.
Yes, it starts up fine only after I've taken out the battery and unplugged the charger for a second or two. But the issue is it keeps shutting off randomly. New battery and NOW I have a new charger. It's got no business doing this. :'(
So, I got that SuperAntiSpyware thing I saw in your signature. Ran it. Found 40 spyware. One of which was in my system registry. Well. I did what it wanted. So far, my laptop has NOT shut off randomly. Now it's a waiting game AGAIN. Will definitely let you know if it shuts off randomly again.

Sounds like an improvement at least, eh?
