If your battery is no good, sometime your laptop will shut down.
You can check Control Panel ---> Power Options ---> Alarms, and make sure there isn't an alarm set to power off your computer.
There may even be an option in your bios that may turn your computer off if your battery level gets so low.

Keep it Clean
You probably remember from science lessons that one of the things about moving hot dry air is that it quickly builds up a static charge in objects around it. When this happens inside your laptop the inside surfaces start to behave like dust magnets. Any particles of dust or dirt that pass through will most likely stick as if they had been glued.
As they do this, they begin to build-up an insulating dust layer which is so effective at preventing heat from escaping that it can cause serious overheating problems quite quickly.
The solution to this problem is to clean the cooling system out regularly. This is an easy procedure and it doesn't need you to dismantle your machine or to do anything that will invalidate your warranty.
You need two things:
1. An aerosol air duster (available from all good PC Stores).
2. A vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool.
The procedure is quite simple:
1. Make sure that the laptop is switched off and disconnected from any power source before you begin.
2. Use the air duster to dislodge the dust by blowing through the intake grills and exhaust ports.
3. At the same time, suck the loose dust up with the vacuum cleaner.
Repeat this process every few months to keep your laptop's cooling system in good working order and it will work properly without the need of a powered cooling tray or any other special gadget.

To narrow down the cause, check your computer's BIOS (Basic Input/Output System), which reads temperature levels. Windows users access BIOS via pressing delete or F2 during boot up

What brand & model # do you have?
How old is it ?
What Windows do you have?
Does the fan sound like it is running?
Sounds like a over heating problem.

My laptop shuts down by itself at times. Sometimes when it shutdowns and I try to get it back on it want let me. I have to take the battery out and then redo it, and other times it will just cut back on like nothing happened.
It does this a lot when running a scan on my computer. What can I do to fix this problem?
