Aspire 5520 shutdown issue

Hi all, just found this site and it looks like a great place to ask questions about the Acer brand.

I have a Aspire 5520-5912 laptop I am trouble shooting for a relative that randomly shuts down just before, or shortly after it boots to windows.

I have tested the hard drive in my Desktop and scanned it for viruses, swapped out the memory, re applied thermal paste on the cpu heat sink and made sure it was not clogged with dust.

I think I have it narrowed down to a bad MB or CPU but was wandering if anyone else has had any issues like this and what the problem was.

Thanks!

Randomly shutting down before going into Windows is likely a driver issue. Have you tried going into Safe Mode?

cheers ...

Yes I tried Safe mode and it still does the same thing.

Alot of times you dont even make it to the windows logon screen.

I fear its a bad mother board?
