Laptop powers off by it?s self

by ejaggers . Updated 17 years ago

I’ve been ripped off twice, trying to get my daughters laptop fixed. It powers off for no reason. When she came home from college (twice), I tried having it fixed, and when she went back the problem occured again. The 1st guy said over heating and charged me $90. The second charged me $60. So I tried myself last night. I put in the recovery disk that came with this Acer computer, and I assumed that it re-installed XP/home. But that did not fix it.

To reproduce the problem you do a scan, any scan. Norton, AVG, or Reg Mechanic. It has a C and D partition, and the problem seems to be scanning C. I?m thinking the whole drive should be wiped clean and XP re-installed, but I thought that?s what the recovery disk did, to drive C at least (it did not touch D though).

Can Anyone Help!!!
