430032	2006-02-13 16:25:00	Hey guys! My laptop just turned itself off for the second time. Last night it did: it went "poof" (like i pressed the power button), and i turned it back on, it got a blue scandisk screen... then started up ok. Today it did the same thing, except no scandisk when i turned it back on! It seems like it turned itself off for no reason... I did a virus scan, Spybot and Adaware, and found nothing wrong with comp! so i am wondering... Why on earth is it turning itself off for no appearent reason??? i went to touch the mousepad and it went "poof"! Any ideas? :help:	marie132 (9562)

430034	2006-02-13 21:01:00	Have you done anything to the comp recently that could have brought about this change? (Thoiugh I can't imagine what apart from setting it to power off.) Any new hardware, any new software recetly installed? Ever done this before? What sort of laptop is it with what OS?	mark c (247)
