Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Similar problem with my laptop until now that I only use it while it's on a wire rack that I can put over my alp and it still has a couple of inches of airgap beneath it.
My bet is that it's overheating.

I was going to put a thermometer on it and check his settings.
I have an HP that pops off after about an hour on one account and not at all on another.
It's the power settings.
I had to read this sooooo many times before I figured out that you had a typo and meant to say "lap." heh.Originally Posted by theGinsue

Thermal event?
I am thinking thermal event. I bet you if you check the bios at startup you will find that the fan are set to low rpm to minimize the noise, instead of really cooling down your mobo or CPU. Dell and hp used to ship their laptop with a low rpm setting so that they would sound quiet on the store shelves....

Also, what is the cheapest place to order lap top batteries from. It sure as heck isn't Microcenter.

Perfect thanks. I can buy 4 of them for the same price as the ones at Microcenter.I just replaced mine 2 weeks ago from buy.com for a Dell ran me about $30.

I was having issues last year with high performance settings. Stays plugged in now and on battery saver.
Byte I'll give you a call at a reasonable hour.
Plugged in without battery, adjusted fan speed from automatic to high. May have gotten a few more minutes out of it? I'm going to try to swap hard drives with another computer.
DOS and Windows have so much "crap" it loads.... I absolutely HATE it. Over time it slows down and you have to defrag. Thats IF you can because you can't cause you've run out of disk space.
I installed ubuntu, linux based. It does everything I need a PC to do without the headaches of Windows.
I highly recommend it. It does not play games, yet. But I don't spend alot of time playing PC games, so it s moot point.
BTW, I do understand what I've stated doesn't solve or address your current issue, just a thought for the future....
