M1530 randomly shuts down
I have posted this on a few other forums and still no help. All dell has been able to do is confirm that it doesnt seem to be a hardware issue.
In the middle of playing games particular ones I have tried are WoW and CoH. But randomly the laptop will just power down. I thought it was a heat issue because the program I was using to check HWmonitor was registering 96-99 C but after installing Speedfan the temps bareyl show that they are breaking 80C. I don;t feel it is heat related anymore because of the different temps.
Keep in mind there are no errors, it just will shutoff and allow me to power back up with no problem. The only consistancy I have found with it is it heppening while gaming. I have not been able to replicate it doing anything else.

I should have been more specific on the temps. All the temp issues have been with the CPU an dnot the GPU it stays cool and stable around 80 degrees at the highest. So i doubt it is the faulty nVidia GPU issue.
I have also tried disabling all startup services but the problem still seems to be present, I may ave missed a few so I will try again. Its just so random it is hard to pindown.

Welcome to the Forum :smileyhappy:
Have you heard...about the problem with NVIDIA chips?
You're pushing the envelope and I wouldn't be surprised the chip is failing.
Run a diagnostic and call Dell.

Hi,
Try going to msconfig and disabling the startup programs except for your firewall and anti virus softwares then restart the system. If your system doesnt shutsdown after the changes then one or more of the programs is causing it.This is how you do it..start..type in msconfig in run..click on startup and disable.. hope this helps!!!
