(It's a compaq). It's not the battery because I use it plugged in. When I start up my laptop, it works fine- for like around 30 minutes. Then all of a sudden, it just "shuts off" or crashes! No warning signs or error messages. The wierd thing is that you can just turn it back on and it'll work just fine again- until the next 30 minutes or so. Some things seem to make it crash sooner like playing games. Once it shuts off, the sooner I restart it- the less time I have before it crashes again.
It seems to run the longest whenever it has been off for a while, like first thing in the morning; or if I'm not playing any games. Things like Limewire and games seem to give me the least time before the computer goes out COMPLETELY.
I tried removing programs that have viruses, ect...But nothing seems to work.
I know little about computers, so I would apprectate it if you'd use layman's terms that are easily understood...(not stuff like "system configuration" or "defragmentation...)
