OK my laptop has been turning off for no reason. i have switch power supplys and still shuts off. and there is no set time it is very random. i have also put in a new battery. I at a loss .
it can run for days before it shuts down or just within a few moments after its turned on. has any one had this problem with this laptop. also i get shocked some times when i touch the speaker grill.
