When a laptop overheats, it usually suddenly turns itself off. After the CPU cool down, you should be able to turn it on again until next shutdown. I think you have a bigger problem then just an overheating.

The AC adaptor appears to be in tact, the light is on and it seems to be working. The computer doesn’t have a very long battery life, so i have been keeping the Ac adaptor plugged in. Normally, if i unplug it, windows/ the laptop, hibernates. This time it just turned itself off. black screen, no sign of power.
If it was an overheating problem, should it be able to turn on again?

Hey Charlotteuk,
Check the AC adapter. It might be just a coincidence that your AC adapter died when the laptop was on the bed. If you laptop will not register the power cable, it is not just an overheating problem.

Hello,
i have a problem with a laptop that isn’t mine. An Acer travelmate 220.
I had it on my bed, for about 3 hours, and i think perhaps that wasn’t the most intelligent of moves, as it just shut down and now it won’t turn on.
I think it may have overheated?? or I may have blown something?
But it won’t even register the power cable.
I don’t want to take the computer apart, in case this voids the
warrenty, however,i would prefer not to pay large amounts of money when i return it!
any suggestions much appreciated.

I think it doesn’t meter what you run Windows or Linux. Each OS uses the same CPU and if it overheats, it overheats. To check the quality of thermal grease you have to remove the heatsink, that’s the only way. I am not familiar with Acers and cannot guide you. It’s hard to guess what kind of problem you experience, but I still would suspect the overheating problem. Try to apply new thermal grease and see what happens.

Hey CJ2600,
had a Knoppix STD live CD lying around. Booted it up with that and I find no problems with overheat. Comp dosn’t freeze up or shut down. I tried playing a few games that come with it to get the CPU to overheat but no avail. However when I turn the comp off and try to start it back up again I have to do the whole routine of clicking the power button off and on x1000 Or wait 5 mins and then try to turn it on. I am not trying to dismiss the overheating problem however maybe when it boots into windos the CPU overheats alot faster then when I run off of knoppix?
How do I tell fi I am out of thermal grease?
Thank you so much for the quick response!

Hey Pasquale,
The problem you described looks pretty much as overheating problem. Even though the heatisnk is clean, it is still possible that the thermal grease dried out and the CPU overheats. It doesn’t look like a software problem, memory problem or hard drive problem because you have to wait for 5-10 minutes before you turn it on.
Just in case I would try this. You can download Knoppix operating system. After you download it, you can burn it on one CD. It is Linux live CD. When you boot your laptop from Knoppix CD, it will start Linux OS right from the CD. Knoppix environment is very similar to Windows. When you boot from Knoppix, you bypass the hard drive and the Windows OS and you can illuminate the Windows and the hard drive related problems.
If your laptop still shuts down in 5-10 minutes when you run Knoppix, then most likely your laptop is overheating.
