Thread: Ubuntu 11.10 automatically shutdown
hey all,
have ubuntu 11.10 on laptop. have computer 4 yrs. recently, automatically shutdown. notice happened when computer hot, , fan runs crazy fast. example, when play vedio game, warcraft, ~10 minutes, turns out hot. or run big matlab program ~20 minutes, same thing happens. , shutdown itself.
question: can fix it? or laptop jsut old.
thanks.

this happens lot on older laptops. every year or take them apart , use bit of canned air dust out. (my ps3 worst culprit)
there tutorials on taking apart laptop. take apart far feel comfortable , make sure blow out little vents , , keyboard area. you'll notice quite difference.
if , still keeps happening, may chip has become unseated. thermal paste , check out youtube see how re-seat processor. thermal paste wears after few years , becomes necessary.
