Hello everyone,

For months I have been experiencing problems with my Lenovo laptop, G505s, which simply keeps shutting down all the time. I have had it cleaned (twice in a month), but even though it doesn't get hot anymore, it still keeps shutting down. This usually happens as soon as I open two or three tabs on my browser at the same time, so I guess the problem is not overheating. There is no "blue-screen-of-death" or any other warnings.

Can someone please explain to me why this is happening, and give me some advice on this matter? Hopefully something that I could do myself (I know this is too optimistic, but I really do not feel comfortable with strangers "fixing" it without any improvements anymore)?

This is my first post here, so I apologize in advance if I did something wrong.
Thank you so much in advance!

Hello

Since your laptop shuts down only after you open two tabs on your browser I would be inclined to think that your RAM memory is at fault.

How long after opening another tab?

Does it happen any other time?

Hello Ambucias, and thank you for your reply!

It usually starts loading the tab, then you can literally hear it struggling with it for a second or two, and than it just goes off. It depends on the webpage I would like to go to as well, it seems.
If I use only one program, for instance, only Skype or Word, it works fine for an hour maybe, but as soon as I try to start something else, it shuts down. Also, if I only open YouTube page, it works fine for an hour or so, but if I tried to open my e-mail at the same time...

I thought it was memory's fault too, since I have to use both Skype and Chrome at the same time for work, but when I took it to be serviced, they would say it was due to the heat.

What should I do if the problem was in the RAM memory?
