| 1174147 | 2011-02-01 01:04:00 | I am using a Sony Vio. Just recently Windows 7 started shutting down the computor after approx. 30 mins. I have run the Vio diagnostics which indicates that all the hardware (hard drive and memory) is running correctly. I am able to run Norton Antivirus - Quick Scan O.K. but if I try a full system scan the scan gets so far and then the system shuts down. Suggestions please. |

| 1174148 | 2011-02-01 01:08:00 | Is it a proper windows shutdown or is the pc abruptly powering down (ie not shutting down but simply turning off)? if it's the former I have no Idea but if it's the latter perhaps the laptop is overheating due to dust or fluff accumulating in the heatsinks etc or something similar. | dugimodo (138) | ||

Install proper antivirus software and do another scan. NOD32 or MS Security Essentials. In addition install Spybot and either Malware Bytes or Superantispyware. |

PC simply turns off. I have just been running the PC ( the Sony) for approx. 2 hrs with no problem until I tried running NAV full scan - scanned some 8000 files and suddenly turned off!! |

| 1174154 | 2011-02-01 03:03:00 | Sounds like overheating to me, unless you have a corrupted service.. | SolMiester (139) | ||
