    It could be a setting in your BIOS that when
    your laptop reaches a certain temperature it will shut down. Check out your settings and see if there is something going on.

    Hello MessyGuy,

    It sounds like you may be having a overheating issue. You can get a can of compressed air and see if blowing out the dust in the heatsink vents on the laptop may help. Plus, to keep the vents clear and free while in use. Check in your Advanced Power Plan settings (Control Panel) and look in your "System Cooling" options. You may need to use "Active" instead of "Passive". If all else fails, they have "laptop cooler fans" that can attach to your laptop to help keep it cooler to help prevent it from overheating.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    This is for Windows 7, but it's the same steps in the Control Panel (Start Menu).

    It should be under the "Processor power management" folder tree.

    It doesn't look like you have this option, and would need to try the other suggestions instead to see if they may be able to help with this if it's a over heating issue.
