| 651439 | 2008-03-21 21:43:00 | This dynabook TX\670LSJ shuts down after few minutes randomly; but sometimes it lasts for > 1 hour without shutting down. When running AVG Anti Spyware scan, it shuts down after about 3 ~ 4 minutes. Performed a Memtest and it shuts down just after ~2 minutes. Checked the fan, seems to be functioning OK and it's quite clean. Time to upgrade?:D |

| 651440 | 2008-03-21 21:49:00 | are you running off the mains or battery. If the mains try taking battery out and see what happens. | plod (107) | ||

| 651443 | 2008-03-22 03:01:00 | Do you really mean shutting down? or are you auto restarting instead. | SPARTAN 860 (2618) | ||
| 651444 | 2008-03-22 04:05:00 | Are you sure it's not overheating? | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 651445 | 2008-03-22 05:02:00 | It just shuts down after a few minutes of running the Memtest, and sometimes when I open a few webpages at the same time, and running AVG Spyware scan, etc. The cooling fan is running fine and I can physically see through the grille that it is pretty clean. It could be over-heating, but how do I know, even if it is over heating, how to overcome it? Went in to BIOS setup, unfortunately everything is in Japanese and I don't understand it at all! :badpc: |

Theres another one I used with a Toshiba a while ago and it worked a treat, but I can't remember the name of it. |

Downloaded and installed Sensor view, but apparently, it doesn't detect the CPU & MB temperatures, instead it only detects the HDD temperature which is running at 39° C. |
