You probably have a hardware-related issue. Contact the manufacturer
of your new laptop and request support assistance.

| my brand new laptop keeps on switching off without warning. when i try to switch it on again it switches
off. it is not the sasser virus, i have run a programme to check if it was and it wasn't detected. after a
while, i am able to use the laptop again but a lot of the time it just shuts down after an hour or so. is it
the computer, or is it windows? should i bring my laptop to get it fixed, or can i fix it myself?
| thank you for your help!
