Riok,

The computer is shutting off pretty soon aftet it is
turned on. If it was a heat issue wouldn't ther be an
error message?


Only if the issue was the cpu running too hot.



Does your system exhibit the same tendencies in SafeMode ?

Have you checked ControlPanel/PowerOptions ?

Could be a number of things, if it's just shutting down


randomly or

after a certain amount of time, it may be a hardware-


related problem;

ie: power drop or heat.

Could you be more specific?
