Hey, I recently got a new Dell Laptop. It's nearly a month old and I've been having issues with the system randomly shutting down on me and automatically rebooting up again after its shut down, Which I suppose is more like a restart.
Anyone have any idea why it's doing this, up to a few times a day since my laptop is on for at least 12 hours. It could be overheating, but it doesn't feel that hot at the time it restarts. Is there a possible setting that may be turned on or something that makes it automatically restart every now and then that I should look for or change? I wouldn't be surprised since it's new that there may be automatic settings that need changing or something.
It doesn't put up a warning or anything before it restarts it just does it at anytime, which is particularly annoying if i'm in the middle of something and it dies, so I'm constantly having to save work.
I've got a few years warranty on it if I need to take it back for repairs. But it'd be much easier if i can figure it out here and now rather than wait for it to be put in for repairs for a few weeks and then get it back =S.
