re: Laptop shuts down Thursday, September 2, 2010 at 7:15 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Pat (98 messages posted) Hi Martin, Yes I can hear it ....I opened it this am at it was at 46.  I was able to do some things on it, like install that small program. Now last night I tried to download malwarebytes and I could not so I got it on a cd from my computer and this am after I did a bit of work on it and it was staying on for a long time about an hour maybe more but as soon as I tried to run malwarebytes well it shut down..I just tried again and the temp would go from 52, 55, to 58 then dropped down to 55 I was sure it was going to finish as I did a quick scan, but no it shut down again... So I am not sure what temp it was when it did.  So you think its the cleaning of the fan would do it.
