Laptop keeps shutting down after 5mins?

-my laptop keeps shutting down after 5mns or so. Where the charger is plugged in, on the underside of the laptop its very hot, only where the charger is plugged in. Any help would be most grateful.



Is the laptop a write off?if the laptop is on a fabric-like surface, or the fans are being blocked or dirty, then it is very likely the laptop is over heating. if the fans are clean, and the laptop isnt overheating, then more then likely the situation is related to a bad charger that is releasing too much energy which will cause the laptop to heat up and shut down because of the heat. it can also shut down because the laptop or charger short circuited.



i would suggest you look into getting the laptop fans cleaned out and try not to overheat it first. if theyre clean and the laptop is still shuttingg down, you should look into getting a new charger as soon as possible.



if you have any more questions feel free to send me an email and ill be happy to help \(^_^)/
There cud b many reasons.



*first, the underside is mostly hot when u either use ur laptop all day and night or if ur laptop's on ur bed or any fabric

*Second, Virus.
Most likely Infections and System errors. Scan your system with Avast free & RegInOut cleaner to see for errors. They will fix it for you.
Virus, or you should not use it for a full 24 hour day, tomorrow see how it works
