a few minutes ago, at 8:59, my laptop spontaneously shut down. no warning. no nothing. it just turned off. I have the charger plugged in so it couldn't be out of battery. it made a little noise that was like "PCHOOooo.."
this happened last night, too
anyone care to explain why the forget this is happening
i don't know if the specs or any of that stuff matters so im not going to waste my time finding it if it doesn't matter

Does it feel hot? Sometimes laptops will freeze, then spontaneously turn off to cool down and make sure it doesn't burst into flames.

Most laptops just shut off instead of telling you conveniently.

Ok, well a lot of things can cause it to shut down with no warning.

Failures, overheating, even malware.

What OS are you running?

battery failure imminent? if you keep it plugged in to the wall socket most of the time, it slowly ruins the battery.

Right click Computer, click Properties.  Advanced System Settings, then Settings under Startup and Recovery.  Uncheck "Automatically Restart".

If Nickelob's doesn't work, consider windows updates.

Mine will just allow him to view any blue screens.
