Does it shut off while you are doing something? Or do you get up and when you get back to your laptop it is off?
its both .. it just shuts off .. which is scary .. it took me a WHILE to install my windows .. it started yesterday .. yesterday it shut down like 6 times .. today it did about 4 times .. after that i didn't even turn it on ..

It must be a bios setting. What did it come preinstalled with?
