Why does my laptop always turning off after 5 minutes use
Thank you everyone for the assistance, I found out that the thermal paste required resealing on the heatsink. All fixed
When plugged in, does the indicator light on the laptop showing it’s plugged in stay on the entire time, or does it go off if you move the connector tip inside the DC jack? If it goes off, then you either need a new power adapter (easy to test with another similar adapter with correct voltage input) or your DC jack/jack cable/DC board needs replacing, whichever your laptop has. If it stays on then it’s possible that you have a clogged heatsink causing your laptop processor to overheat. Laptops are supposed to shut themselves off if the processor gets too hot to prevent permanent damage. What brand and model is your laptop?
acer aspire 5755 it says it is ‘self diagnosing’ and goes through a percent and then it shuts down even though it isn’t hot or overheating…is it just old and needs refurbishing? Or should i just buy a new one which i cannot afford. ;(
