It is really annoying when a laptop suddenly shuts down in the middle of an important task. And on top of that, if this shutdown problem keeps recurring, then you will want to pick up the laptop in anger and throw it away. However, most of the time there is nothing wrong with your laptop, but some of the following can cause such problems.
Some of the reasons mentioned in this article and given their troubleshooting, maybe you can get rid of the laptop suddenly shutting down again and again this time!
Laptop overheating
Excessive heat can be a major cause of laptops going off without warning. Now there are several reasons why your laptop may face overheating problem. Dust and dirt may have accumulated on your laptop fan, you may have clocked the CPU, or you may have been using the laptop over a bed or pillow for too long, but the machine may overheat!
First, how do you know if your laptop is getting too hot? OK, move your hand to the side corner of the laptop, especially where the fan grille is attached. If you feel normal temperature in your hand then there is no reason to worry, if the heat is felt too much then there is a problem in case your hand gets hot!
In this case, turn off the laptop immediately, do not use the laptop on a cloth or on a soft bed, as the fan will not be able to pump enough hot air out. Place the laptop on a flat surface like a table. After shutting down the hot laptop, turn the laptop over and look at the back to see if there is any dirt. If necessary, use the screwdriver to open the back lid and try to remove the dust from the fan. If you want, you can use computer vacuum cleaner to remove dirt from the fan.
Another reason for the laptop to overheat may be the loss of heat sink. If the heat sync is damaged, you must replace it. And yes, do not use the laptop in direct sunlight, it can cause overheating issue. If you hear loud noises from your laptop fan, you will understand "Dal mein kuch kala hai"!
Hardware problems
Hardware problems can cause the laptop to shut down suddenly or cause a Blue Screen of Death problem. Maybe you bought a new modem, which has a hardware problem, since then the laptop may have been shutting down repeatedly.
In Windows 10 PC, go to the search bar and type "Device Manager" - you can easily see a list of all the devices connected to your laptop from Device Manager. Some of the original devices in your laptop such as; Hard drive, RAM, processor, camera, USB controller - check the status of all hardware "this device is working properly." Whether the show is doing!
If you have recently added a new hardware or device to your PC, check to see if it is responsible for your laptop shutting down repeatedly. If there is a problem with the motherboard or RAM or CPU; No need to worry, take your laptop to the service center. Especially new laptops are better not to try to fix the hardware by yourself.
Device driver problem
Does the device driver handle updates automatically on your PC? - In that case your PC may suddenly restart. After many drivers have been updated you need to restart your Windows PC to work properly with the hardware. However, most of the time before the PC restart gives you a warning, but many times the PC can restart without warning.
Driver Talent - a free and very useful tool that keeps all the drivers on your PC up to date and helps you to use the right driver. This software is extremely useful for getting rid of almost any driver related problem.
Malware
Yes, malware can cause your laptop to shut down and cause a sudden shutdown. Not only this, with the help of malware you can do more serious problems with your PC. Windows Defender is not enough to handle all these problems, you need to use a secondary anti-malware program with a good paid antivirus program. Of course, the virus database must be kept up to date, so you can get better protection!
I personally use Asset as antivirus and malware bytes as antimalware. However, there are better antivirus tools on the market, you can use them!
