Okay i am freaking out! My laptop is practicallly new, its about 1 year old(little less), and this is the first time i have ever had a problem with it~

Okay so about 10 minutes a go I was playing the sims 3 like i do every day and my computer just crashed i guess. It turned off No warning nothing! It was plugged in and everything.
So then I tried to turn it back on and it crashed again within 5 seconds. I did this 2 more times, same thing. So i left it for about 10 minutes and tried again, now it is on. What do i do . I can't afford a new laptop is this a common problem.

It sounds to me like your computer is over-heating.
You might want to take it to your local computer shop (or to someone you trust) to see what is wrong with it.
