Thanks Andy, I do not know what lies beneath but I will have a better understanding by the replies and informative posts. I am back on the tab as the laptop force shut down while i was replying to your post. I let you know later what happens.

you can also stop it shutting down on errors

Go:[win7/vista and Xp]
Control panel-System-Advanced System Settings-advanced tab at bottom you will see "Startup and Recovery" click on settings and uncheck below system failure:
Write event log
Auto restart


think on XP it says shutdown

Should stop silly shutdowns

Just a update and thanks for the tech advice.

Took keyboard off and saw the insides for the first time in this old laptop compaq 6220 model.
I wish I had a schematic as the only thing I knew was the fan. Anyway I just blew on it a couple of times and then put the keyboard back on and its seem to done the trick. I will keep in mind other information given as that will come in handy at some point in time. Upto now the Pc has been constantly on for 7 hours and Its playing poker online without no glitches.

update on laptop

Sadly its no more...

I would like you to raise your vaping devices and make a toast to your laptops and say these words. I will treat my laptop with care and with upmost respect. I will not take a screwdriver to it or give it a good bashing with my fist. I will always love my laptop the same way as my vaping gear and I will kiss it every day when it powers up.

I shall miss you laptop xx

Your problem should be HDD,MOTHERBOARD, or RAM either of them.
