    ok time for me to ask a question lol:)

    my one has started to seemingly randomly turn off now, it can be just within a few seconds of booting or could be hours or not at all. any ideas on what could be happening, its not just going to standby either it is physically shutting off as if battery was not in and ac was unplugged,

    help

    Check if the fan is running when you turn it on. If it isn't you might be having overheating issues.
