Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3IF U HEAR ME... crazydbs.com Post Number: 5253 Registered: Feb-06 | well as far as i see it i think the batterie is wat is wrong in your ocmputer. watching a video takes some power and if you have like a intel pentium processor may suck some pwoer and f u c k yoru batterie up... u batterie migth be cra pping out. while your voice chatting the headphone and mic will suck some power not too much but more than regular. burnign a dvd actually takes some serious power. i think yoru problem is with your batterie.. ripping a cd takes alot more power than watchign a video the cd player have to spin very fast and the computer have to convert the audio file into your desire format and sucks alot of power |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 13279 Registered: Oct-05 | skullz it just shuts off. no blue screen. it can't be the battery cause i use the laptop plugged in all the time. before it shuts off, the fan goes on strong then all of a sudden shuts off. i was thinking its a heat issue. maybe i need to clean the fan cause it is really noisy. |

Silver Member Username: StefanomVienna, VA United States Post Number: 630 Registered: Apr-06 | There is a known issue with some laptops getting too hot and some wiring becoming dislodged in the warmed up state, which causes the machine to power off. You might check with the manufacturer to see if yours is affected by this. I know it affected a number of laptops in any event. |
