I've had a lot of computer troubles throughout my long computer work. But I could have never imagined how really painstaking it would be to transfer one email client into another! Thanks to someone from this forum who gave me import eudora to outlook instruction. So I downloaded this small utility and finished the process fast.

Good day nairalanders!! Please I need help on how to solve the issue of laptop going off during use.

I notice it overheats a lot and this may be the cause of it. Also the fan runs loudly coupled with vibration.

How can I get thIs fix?? Please include how much it may cost me if I will eventually take it to an engineer.

Thanks

the fan is not working effectively, that is why it is overheating and shutting down. it is clogged with too much dust, may have to be replaced or cleaned and the heatsink cleaned and reapply thermal paste. 3k or 2k

Thanks.

I initially thought that I would have to fix/change the screen.

So, what will it cost to get the cable connected again, sir?

it can't find an Os on the hard disk. you need to install a new windows on it. or the hard disk might have been disconnected from the system, remove and reinsert it back properly.

Hello good people of this forum..... I have an Acer laptop, when I push the power button to ON it, it will come ON but after booting, it trips OFF and starts booting again by itself. This continues on and on and on. Please what could be wrong with the system and the likely solution? Thank you.

what does it displays on the screen when booting, like any error code or information. it seems your system can't boot pass the bios stage, its in an endless loop of booting and rebooting again. this caused by a corrupted bios or bricked motherboard.

sir, the booting is normal, but at the point of displaying the application interface screen after booting, it trips OFF and restart booting again and again and again like an endless circle.

this seems like a corrupted windows Os or bad hard disk. you have to reinstall another windows on that same hard disk, if the windows installation is unable to load or work on that hard disk, then you have get another good hard disk

So many things can cause this,you will need a laptop technician to Troubleshoot and check what the problem is.

Sometimes the cause of this kind of issue can be bad RAM, Bad processor, again water damage can cause this too(corrosion on a particular IC)
