The problem was everytime I'm using my laptop it always turns off automatically(not shutting down!) then it will automatically restart....
I've tried scanning it with Bitdefender 2012 but no Virus found so I decided to reformat it but then when i tried to reformat it and install WIn7 again.....
I format the primary drive first then I start the installation...
and at the part of "Expanding Windows Files" at 72% it turns off automatically again!
after it i start my laptop again then i press F8(im booting from DVD with the win7) then I choose safe mode so I was able to finish the installation. BUT!
The problem still happens...... :( I really need help :( I was in safe mode now that's why i was still able to use my laptop :( but no games :(

PS. I downloaded Windows 7 Ultimate from a torrent.... I think its the problem... never mind... just help me please =D

Hi abrenica195, I know that when laptops get too hot they can be known to shutdown.

Do you know what temperature the CPU is when you use it?

How long have you had the laptop for?

Have you ever opened the laptop up to remove dust?

Sounds like a MoBo problem with the bios, but it could be a Power supply problem, or even a RAM problem. But first, install the disc that came with the computer, and go from there.

yeah maybe and I'm planning to download another torrent of win7 but I'll look for an unmodified win7 because the one that I downloaded was modified

Even if it was modified you can tweak it with little effort with PowerISO. Also, most laptop shutdown issues are heat related.
