Laptop Shutting Itself Off ?
Hi,
I know that this isn't a W7 related querstion, but you folks are so smart with this sort of thing, and this is such a terrific Forum, I thought I'd take the liberty of asking here anyway.
Family member has a 5+ year old Dell laptop running XP.
Runs it with the PC plugged into the wall 110 V outlet.
While working on the PC, every 5 minutes or so, it shuts itself off.
When actually working, it's fine.
Any thoughts as to why this might be ?
Could it be overheating ? Or,...?
BTW: do laptops (usually) have a built in fan ?
Thanks,
Bob
