when i turn on my laptop, it will auto off after a few minutes.

this process will last a few times. it will only remain on after several attempts.

and it will auto turn off in the middle of my work.

i dun think it is over heated, the laptop has not even warm up yet.

besides, i have a usb fan pad on.

laptop running window vista.

 

anyone experienced this before? scan virus nothing found too.

Recently had the exact same problem, brought it to my usual repair shop to check and turned out that some of the capacitors were blown. If this is the case then they can be replaced for a low price.

 

On the other hand, if the motherboard is faulty then it'll be much more costly to repair or replace.

Is it a DELL?

Looks like the capacitor issues are coming back to haunt us again. Back in the late 90s, I had 2 motherboards affected and 1 power supply "exploded".

Managed to replace the caps on the board myself, save it from being junked and managed to use them for another few more years before upgradeing.

As for the power supply, after opening up, the cap is gone, left only the 2 legs standing on the board.

Check if your laptop fan unit is working. Looks like your CPU is frying. Once it hit about 100 degree C it will auto shut down.

Sorry to hijack. Got a problem with my desktop as the power button flashes on and off non stop like it's on standby but it isn't. Pressed the button a few times to "revive" it and even unplugged the power source but problem still persists. Any idea what went wrong?

Nope, Compaq. Not a DELL [laugh]
