Speccy should show the temperature of the hard drive - I still suspect a temperature related issue due to the relatively fixed time the laptop runs before closing down. Just thinking of closing down after a fixed time - I assume that the laptop is not hibernating!!   Written in response to: re: Laptop shuts down (Pat: Thursday, September 2, 2010 at 4:57 pm) Responses to this message: re: Laptop shuts down (Pat: Thursday, September 2, 2010 at 5:45 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] Laptop shuts down (Pat: Wed, Sep 1, 2010, 4:42 pm) re: Laptop shuts down (Malcolm Fowler: Wed, Sep 1, 2010, 5:44 pm) re: further info on cooling fan....
