Unexpected Shutdown - ZPS 14z windows 7
Hello all;
I have a problem with my XPS 14z DELL bought less than 2 months ago.
Repeatedly I got UNEXPECTED SHUTDOWNs. ( it is like sudden power cut)) - I thought this is may be battery disconnect for while.
I have windows 7 home premium installed.
In the Events I have it as a critical event. last time I got this error today morning.
Do any one faced such thing or have solution?

Hi Mahde,
Please check if the laptop is overheating. You may try the following steps.
Clean the air vents for the computer. Below are the steps to clean the air vents:
Note: Please use compressed air can. When using compressed air can, use the can according to the directions on the side of the can as you can cause damage to the computer if used incorrectly.
Alternatively, check if the system shuts down in BIOS:
I would also recommend you to update the BIOS of the computer:
Note: Before updating BIOS please ensure that:
*Battery is 10%> or >10% charged
*Battery charger should be connected
*No external devices (flash drives, printers, external hard drives) should be connected.
*All other programs should be closed and documents saved
Hope this helps.

Hello Appu;
Thanks a lot for your help:
I would like to ask wether I should do these things while the Labtop is brand new I mean it is just 2 months old.
Please your advice.

Hi Mahde,
I understand your dilemma. However, majority of the steps that I have shared above were from the perspective of "General usage and Maintenance" to keep the system updated and in a healthy shape.
With program and device driver updates, this is a routine feature in today's times.
Please reply if you have any questions.
