That's bad. Did you contact them? When did you get the laptop?

I'd like to ask those questions too. I'd also like to ask what your temperatures are.

My uncle has an Avertec and it works great.

i bet twilight is 100% right. your temps are probably too high and the laptop shuts down to keep from killing it self. check temps. u mostlikely have a loose heatsink or a mad fan. could even just be some dust clogging up the fan. it most definitely is gonna be heat. if for some reason it isnt, your motherboard is trash, you probably have some power issues on the board and u might as well scrap it.

Averatec's fans are more than adequate when left completely unblocked. Otherwise, it only takes about 20 minutes before it overheats while idling/doing basic tasks.

If you're compiling something or doing some other intensive thing, it takes about 5 minutes.

sounds like overheating to me too

averatec is the worst because your specific one has problems.
