What's wrong with my computer?

Ok, let's start with the thing it isn't.  It is NOT the battery.  Although that is not to say the battery isn't also bad.  Chances are your A/C Adapter has gone bad and/or the connector inside the laptop(known as the D/C plug) has also gone bad.\n\nYour best bet is to find a local notebook repair shop that can take a look at it and give you a free(or relatively cheap) estimate.  The problem with your description is that there is one major component you've left out...\n\nSoftware.  You'd be surprised, but your o/s could be infected and could actually cause immediate shut-downs.  The question I'd ask is whether or not it shuts down or just IMMEDIATELY shuts off, there is a HUGE difference.  If it shuts down and not off, then it's the o/s and/or software and I HIGHLY recommend taking it into the Geek Squad to have them take a look at it.\n\nIf you have any more information for me I might be able to better evaluate the situation and give you a better answer.  For now, get it looked at by a professional.\n\n-Geek Squad Double Agent...

Have you tried restarting your computer? \n\nYou may need to reboot again or shut it down all the way for a few minutes, and then start your computer. That usually solves those kinds of things! :)

Yes it sounds like a hardware problem, if not then it could be some sort of virus or bug.  I would do a virus check and a hardware check.  Like run a diagnostic test on your computer to make sure all the hardware is running properly.

If you have backed up your important files (hopefully) I would suggest reinstalling Windows. If you have important files or email that you have not backed up then I would suggest calling a local computer repair shop and tell them what is going on. The processes we use to get a pc back up and running would take a long time to explain in a forum like this. It can take anywhere from an hour or more to get a computer backed up, cleaned of spyware and viruses, windows updated, etc - it is all dependent on your pc and what is going on with it - there are no easy answers.\nIt could be a hardware problem, but software problems are 10 times as likely. Good luck.

Is the computer on standby? If it is then you should shutdown the computer instead. \n\nRun an antivirus program on your computer to see if a virus may be the cause as well. Also check to see if you have had any recent errors, like driver conflicts or "the blue screen of death". That could also be a cause.

Replace the hard drive, if it fixes the problem then you know that they hard drive was messed up, if not, then you got a whole different problem...Good Luck.

Try removing the programs in your start-up menu, then run a defrag, check for viruses, run an ad-ware and spy-ware check... if all else fails upgrade your RAM. X
