Hello,
For the past few weeks my Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo laptop is giving
problems. First the laptop's battery, which since I purchased it
almost two years ago has allowed me to operate the machine for about
two hours before needing to recharge it, is now giving about 10
minutes only. Second – and also since recently - the machine switches
off automatically after a short while when I'm doing certain
operations like rendering video clips or downloading large amounts of
data from the internet via my WLAN card. I've noticed that the
ventilator suddenly switches off first, switches itself back on again
for a few seconds sometimes, and then off and then the laptop switches
off. I never had this problem before and this is quite annoying. Can
anyone advise me as to what is the problem here???
Thanks.
