My (Practically brand new) Acer E1 laptop, is shutting down almost exactly 30 minutes, even in the BIOS menu. I have ruled out that it is not being caused by over heating, and it is not a bad stick of RAM either, nor is it a virus. The laptop is running Windows 8.1. It has been doing this ever since I started using the laptop. Any suggestions on what to do?
