Question
Well i have an acer computer, i bouth it from circuit city. i had it since septmber of 2006 and two months ago the computer just started to shut off. i mean im in the midde of something and it shuts off. and when i try to put it back on, it wont go on so i have to wait like 5 minutes for it to come back on again. and when it does come back on i use it for like 10 minutes then the computer just shuts off again,, so whenever i use it, it shuts off. i dont know the reason y and dont know how it happeded. i even restarted the computer to its factory settings but still it just shuts down. i cant seem to figure out the problem.

Answer
Hi Mikey,

The first thing that comes to mind is check under the cover for dust, especially near/on the fans. Invest in a can of air to clean the dust out. It could also be the power supply or memory going, but try cleaning first.

Hope this helps!
