    Laptop shutting down on its own


    I use an ASUS laptop with AMD A8 4500M APU with Radeon HD graphics 1.9 GHz. It has 4 GB RAM. It is about 6yrs old. Last year it was getting overheated and switching off on its own. So I got it repaired and it is working fine. I have Malawarebytes Free Version 4.0.4.49. I have also installed CPUID HW Monitor. I have noted the Core temperatures at start up 88-90 C. I normally end a session by "Hibernate". On resuming later sometime the PIN writing window does not show up on the lock screen and I have to shut down by pressing the Power button and resume again by pressing it. Last night while playing "Microsoft Solitaire Collection" game, the laptop suddenly shut down on its own. This happened twice after a gap of about 30 mins. I have checked the Core temperatures while playing & they are 95-96 C. I'll be thankful for suggestions to overcome this problem.

    If you can disassemble the laptop and clean all dust and dirt from CPU, Fan and other components. You should also clean and apply new thermal paste to CPU.

    You will be surprised how must dust is inside. I use a PC tray when using a laptop on my lap to allow space for air to circulate to the vents.

    As a matter of routine, run a disk check.
    Hard Disk Sentinel (trial) is excellent: HD Tune (free) Health and error scan tabs.

    Also run a RAM check. Tutorials available.
