    JUST TURNS OFF COMPETLY AND I HAVE TO REBOOT. NO SHUT DOWN SCREEN OR NOTHING. JUST CUTS OFF.
    I WAS WONDERING IF THE COOLING FANS ARE DIRTY AND THE COMPUTER IS OVER HEATING.

      Does it happen both on battery power and A.C. ? ?

      If so it is most likely a heat issue...

      How old is the battery ? ?

      If the CPU fan is shot, it will over heat quickly.

      That's a cheap fix if that is the problem. Be sure and do it properly. Don't spin the blades as fast as you can.

        He never did say it happened when on battery of plugged in or both ways.
        Sounds to me like it is a weak battery and it is set up with desktop settings and not notebook settings, which explain why it would just shut off without warning.
        Lets us know, it does make a difference  ;)
