    I have a Toshiba Satellite 2775XDVD notebook that after about 10 minutes of being on will just turn off. If I try to restart it will usually just shut right back off. I thought maybe it was the fan so I got a new one and had it put in and it didnt help. I have had it taken apart and cleaned, no help. I have read articles about other Satellite models doing this (http://news.com.com/Overheating+Intel+parts+threaten+Toshiba+laptops/2100-1040_3-238117.html) but nothing about the model I have. Anyone have any advice??

    This is a laptop?

    Perhaps it is not getting AC power and is shutting off because it is running off battery or battery backup power giving you a certain amount of time to shut off. Try removing the battery and doing it.

    Yes, it is a laptop. This does this if the battery is connected or not.

    Is your battery fully charged? Is there a meter to show the percentage charged, or remaining? My Gateway laptop will not run without a battery, but will run on power even if the battery is in place but fully discharged. Bazza

    Is there anything in your event logs that give an indication what is happening?
