my laptop keep shutting down even if the battery is charged?

Question

it keeps shutting down when i plug it in too

Answer 1

Does it shut down when you run a particular program? When it's still booting up? At random times, or more frequently the longer it's been on?

There are a number of things that might be causing it. Overheating is a prime suspect. It's possible you've had a cooling fan fail inside. Other possible causes could be a CPU, ram or motherboard that's gone bad (failed component or short circuit). On the software side, it could also be a virus or a corrupted system file. Sometimes memory leaks could screw up a system, though that was generally only a serious problem with Windows ME & previous versions.

If you can, try booting up into safe mode or using a bootup disk/CD. This should help narrow down whether the problem is software or hardware. Software problems are pretty easy to fix; use system restore to restore your system to back when it was working normally, and use an up-to-date antivirus program to do a thorough system scan. If it's a hardware problem, then unless you feel comfortable opening up your laptop I would suggest taking it in to a professional. Or if it's still under warranty, contact the manufacturer. Good luck!

P.S. I don't think this will solve your problem, but you may also want to make sure that your battery is secure and has a good connection. And that it's not one of those batteries that's been recalled for overheating. That could dump too much heat onto your laptop for it to handle.
