Hi all, new here.

I have a cheaper Toshiba satellite c55t-a5218 touchscreen that came with a intel 2020m processor. I recently upgrade the processor to a i5- 3230m and now the laptop shuts off randomly. CPU is not getting hot, sits around 40-50c, I even got it to 70c running some stress test software and it still wouldn't shut off. I don't really know whats going on here, bios is updated as well. Don't know if I need a driver update or something or got a bad processor. Any ideas?

Both to both of those. Shut off while browsing the internet, shut off sitting on the table with the screen open and also with and without being plugged in. This has happened probably 6 times in about 4 hours.

Let it sit overnight with the screen closed, and it didnt shut off, just went in to sleep mode. Is it possible my CPU is bad? just doesnt make sense.
