My Toshiba Satellite laptop keeps turning off...a bad hard drive AGAIN?


Question Posted Saturday May 23 2009, 11:15 pm

Ok, a few months ago our computer would randomly turn off when we were using it, but it was still under warranty so we took it in to a shop and they said the hard drive was going out. So, they put a new hard drive in it for us. Well, lately it's been doing the same thing again, but when I start it up it'll turn off again, and when I push the 'on' button again the 'power' and 'on' lights start flashing. When that happens I have to let it sit and a while later it starts again and actually works, but then after a few hours it turns off again. Does anyone know what s going on? thankss (:

Oh, it's a Toshiba Satellite laptop. Maybe I should replace it with a Dell or something?

It's overheating. Maybe one of the fans broke. The last shop you took it to were incompetent if they couldn't see those very obvious signs of overheating, so take it somewhere else.
