Solutions When The Laptop Shuts Down On Its Own

Message Us

Our screen friend has been our partner when it comes to doing our tasks especially during these times and the last thing that we want to happen is for it to break down. However, fret not for we have compiled five quick and easy solutions that you and your laptop just might need.

Address Overheating Issue

One of the most common issues that your laptop experiences random shutdowns are overheating problems. The cooling fan might not be functioning properly and it cannot handle the heat that has been generated by your internal hardware components. 

You must keep your laptops in an open area. A laptop cooling pad is also a great option. If you have the skills, you can also disassemble and clean the fan in your laptop by yourself. 

Reset Your Laptop 

Faulty hardware is also one of the reasons that your laptop randomly shuts down. Try turning off your laptop and remove all devices attached to it including its power and battery. Press and hold the power button for a minute longer then try to reboot your laptop again. If this is the cause of your problem, then we just fixed it for good. 

Update Drivers

If you are one of those users that don’t necessarily care about software updates then think twice. Outdated device drivers are also one cause of your problem. Always make sure that all software and device drivers are up to date. You can do this manually or automatically. 

Shutdown Your Fast Startup Feature

Having this feature in your laptop also causes random shutdowns. You can turn this off by going through the power options in your control panel. Change the settings in your power button by unchecking the fast startup feature. 

Scan For Viruses 

The laptop system is susceptible to malware and viruses and yes, it really is scary. This causes a lot of damage. Be patient and consistent enough to always run a virus scan. Even though it takes a lot of time, it is definitely worth it. It makes you feel at ease if there are any viruses in your system and how you can treat it as early as possible.
