Hey my fiance was using our Dell laptop last night and it suddenly shut down. Ever since we can't get it to turn back on. It was plugged in so it wasn't the power...I don't think unless it is possible the battery is done. Anyhow when you hit the power button the first two lights come on, but not the battery light and then of course as mentioned nothing happens. Have any ideas?

It might be beacuse of your RAM stick(s). Try to unplug, clean and then plug in the RAM stick(s), it may solve your problem.

Maybe those hackers got your IP Address and remotely shut it down

RAM is your random access memory, what it does in puts your information that your going to use a lot and puts it next to the cpu so it runs faster, your shutting down problem might be related to that to get new ones for a great price try NEWEGG.com also use can air to clean out your fans, if you have it on a blanket or your lap its not getting the proper air flow so try using it on a desk and see if it shuts down even when you use it on a desk or table, A third option is charge your bat. fully, and restart your computer in safe mode, run the battery out and plug it back in to see how much your bat is left.

How long have you use it? The battery is a problem. The virus is another big problem.

Find a anti-virus software, like this one. http://www.111download.com/product/security-shield-2009-tota­l-internet-security.html

Making a full scan of you laptop.

If it shut down itself everyday, and you can not find virus attack.

Save your important info and format it. See what will be happen.

If it still can not work well. Maybe the hardware damaged.

If your laptop/pc shuts down when playing games its more that likely a graphic card problem.

A benchmark test on your Graphic Card will determine if its the cause of the laptop/pc shut down.

Go here and download v.1.7.0

Once installed check the "check stability" and then select "go"
