My laptop keeps on turning itself off, not even with saying something like "Windows is shutting down" It just... turns off. As if you pulled out the power cable of a desktop, a fully charged battery is also fitted and it is on mains power!
I can not think of why its doing it.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys.

I've no idea what's wrong but some computer maitanence places take a look at your computer free of charge. It could be something really simple or you might have to pay for a complicated repair.

I agree with stan. I have a p4 laptop and I run folding@home and its setup to use 100% cpu. It shuts down after a couple days of constant running because it gets so hot. Get a program called mobile meter I believe and watch your temps. Also just to be on the safe side make sure youver got all the newest updates. And also run your adware/spyware program and antivirus.

unlikely to be a virus id say, more than likely a loose connection in ur power suply somewhere, or as said before a safety feature of ur motherboard cmos.
if all else fails, like suggested before, take into a good computer store, and they should check it for free, well they do in the uk.
