the fans run almost all the time and i regulary blow all the dust out when it is shut off. I thought it might be overheating but it has been working fine burning dvd for over a year and now it shuts off alot. like today when i was running the updated antivirus.

Few possible reasons.
1. Window file corrupted. Re-install Window.
2. Low watt power supply if you are running cord. Get one with higher watt.
3. Over heat. Buy a laptop base cooling unit.
4. Battery life ending or mAh not enough. Change it.
There may be other problem which i had not encounter before, as I am still learning.
Still cannot solve, go to their service centre.
They are the best person to help you.

It could be overheating. Burning DVDs creates a lot of heat, and if your laptop cannot deal with it, it may be shutting down to avoid damage. Check that all your fans are working, and that your heatsinks are free of dust. Also keep your laptop on a hard flat surface, rather than a cushion or other soft object.

Wont restart to earleir point because your restore is probably disabled. Also, shutdown during burn is one of two things, graphics card is overheating your laptop because it can't handle the image encoding, or you don't have enough ram again overheating or causing bottleneck and your PCB (process control block) is shutting down schedulers and queues for processes. You need upgrades, very unlikely that it's a virus if you really think it is: get hijack this runscan and delete found problems, it is free: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html

sounds like its crashing as a results of it overheating. I had a sony workstation that did the comparable, offered it new and it would continually crash and reboot as a results of overheating. I took the cpu cooler out and wiped sparkling and replace the thermal paste and placed the cpu cooler decrease back and that solved my project. examine your drivers are as much as this factor besides as your bios, according to probability that could remedy your project.
