I have an Amilo Li 1818 laptop and have had it for around 2 years. However, recently, the laptop turns off on its own for no reason, without any warning. Once it turns off, it won't turn back on again at times... does turn on after a while though.
Usually i'll be able to use it for around an hour before it just turns off. I've reinstalled the OS and even then, that was a struggle as it kept turning off during installation. I'm wondering if it could be that the fan isn't working and the laptop overheats, because I once tried using a Linux CD and i remember it not starting up because it said something about 'overheating'. Is there a way I can check this?
Also, when I finally installed the OS, I had to life the laptop up to allow air to go the bottom of the laptop so it didn't get too hot...and even had an external fan near it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
