Toshiba Satellite A35-S159 Problem
My Toshiba Satellite A35-S159 has been shutting down by itself lately, has this been happening to anyone else? Is it because of the CPU Usage? The heat produced by the notebook itself? Anyone with similar problems or answers please reply! Thanks in advance!

When mine did this, it eventually stopped turning on altogether. Back up everything you can before you're unable to turn it on. It turned out to be the motherboard. It was still under warranty and I used their UPS overnight system to send it to Kentucky for repair. It was effeciently repaired the same day it was received. They returned the computer via UPS and UPS "lost" it. Believe me, this is a nightmare no one should go through. Here I am more than 5 weeks later still without my computer or a replacement computer. If they suggest service, I would opt for a local service center if you have that available.
