I own a dell m700 and its about two years old. I never had any problems until now. It started to shut off itself! I don't know what is causing it. I thought it might of been the heat causing this problem so I created some gap between the laptop and the desk but still no good. Is my power supply going bad or what is it?
thanks,

 

Mine is starting to do the same....I think its software related though...

 

Your mobo, or your PS might be going bye-bye.

 

fuck dell! Seriously, they down hill... I should bought the extended warranty. damn....

 

arrrrrrrr. :angry:

 

is the comp cutting of completely or is it a graceful shutdown? if the former, i guess i'd start blaming the hardware. actually, just yesterday, my comp (built) blue screen'd maybe the 10th time since it was built in 2003 and somehow the BIOS had reordered the drives and it kept rebooting after POST until i corrected the drive order. Why they changed in the first place is beyond me. Maybe BIOS battery not retaining settings but comp is always plugged in. So who knows.

have you called dell?

 

I think BitTryant is shutting it down sometimes....I plan to do a XP reload soon as Im back in the UK.

 

I don't feel like talking to them right now. plus, fucking all the way over in India. I doubt they will fix my laptop.

 

Are you in NJ right now?

 

 

getting more beers? lol

 

Before I kill myself.

Inlaws < *

 

you really hate your inlaws? hahaha.

 

A full week is a hard pill to swallow...Plus they smell...

 

thats mean..

 

im still trying to figure out how to replace my LCD....

 

Then just drive down the street... their help desk is just around the corner

 

most definitely

 

I guess I try calling dell tomorrow.... if doesn't work out then ask around my friend who can fix this problem. I dont feel like spend $500 to fix this shit box.

 

you think so too?
thanks,

 

Dude... you shouldn't have got a Dell!

 

Dell sucks! Their customer service is the worst when I had issues with my laptop. Now, my laptop is dead and I'm never getting a Dell again.

 

I fell for their awesome deal trap. I really got good deal so I didn't complained until now.

 

what you got now?

 

Sony Vaio

 

I always thought that sonys were over-rated?!

 

 

Mine is alright so far. Maybe you should edit that statement and include Playstation 3 and Blu-ray as being over-rated too.

 

I won't know...my balls aren't big enough to get one of those.

 

what would your recommend then?

 

No prob, so you do have a Dell pc yourself?

 

yeah?!? why would I ask this question w/o having one? I'm lost..

 

Still asleep that's why and doing multiple tasks at my job. But, just letting you know that I had a bad experience with Dell, but if you've had a positive one that's good for you.

 

depends for what; business, multimedia, gaming?

 

GAMING!!!! j/p but probably daily use and maybe some games.

 

yeah! I guess I'm not one those lukcy one.
