I've had this laptop since christmas, and sometimes the fan just shuts of when im in games/watching movies. Luckily i notice it before it over heats. I can turn it back on by putting my computer to sleep and waking it up, but i still don't think it should be doing this in the first place.

Could be a faulty fan or internal switch. If it's new contact the manufacturer most likely they'll have you RMA it back to them so they can fix it. You might be lucky and have an authorized service center in your area to take it as well.

Thanks. I'll probably do that.

I have been having the same type of issue/s and have tried all the same help people have had to offer, in all the dfferent post I've read online.
To actually fix this issue I ended up having to go to the device manager and check for driver updates on all my devices, one at a time. I think the ones that had updates that fixed this issue were the ACPIx64-based PC under the computer drop down and the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, specifically the ICH ATA and SATA AHCI controllers (I think these made the difference). I checked them all, but these were the only ones that had updates. Once those were updated and the computer was restarted, it has stayed on. It's been on for a day now and no problems so far.
