Laptop - needs constant resets

[sambat2000]

My friends Packard Bell laptop needs a reset every few days (remove battery, hold down power button).
Normally any laptop I have sorted out this way is ok after doing the reset once.
Has anyone any ideas why this would keep happening and what needs to be done to stop?
Thanks

Hi,

I would suggest doing a test with the AC adapter.
- Remove the battery and plug in just the AC adapter and observe it without the battery.
- If the same problem will persist do try a different AC adapter still without the battery in.
- If the same problem will still happen please do reinstall Windows.
- And if all these will not work I would suggest opening the laptop and do some cleaning in it and apply thermal paste.
- I'm leaning towards the battery being faulty.

My first thought was the bios battery, however the bios would probably be reset if that was the case.
Second thought is the battery also - just trying to get some other views on the problem.
Thanks
