I was playing a game, it was running smoothly, then it went to about 0.25 FPS. Just bringing up the Windows task manager took 30 seconds, at which point I said "screw this" and turned off the power. I turned it back on again and after about 3 minutes, it turned itself off again. No error messages of any kind.
The more often I tried turning it back on, the faster it shut down until eventually it wouldn't even turn on. However, the laptop was barely warm to the touch. After waiting about 15 minutes to turn it on again, I loaded up CoreTemp and it said my CPU was at 45C. After a few minutes of idling, it shut down again.
I also tried running it with just one RAM chip, taking either of them out at a time, still shut down. I took out both and the motherboard beeped at me, which would make me think that it's not a motherboard problem either.
It doesn't seem to matter if the battery's plugged in or not, it's shut down on just battery power, just AC power, or both. There aren't any irregular noises coming from the computer, the ambient temperature of the room isn't hot, and I just don't know what's wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
