Random Power Loss on Laptop

[pigeoncracker]

Looks like I've got way too many issues.

So, I've had quiet a few instances where my laptop will suddenly, randomly and very abruptly turn off. Completely. No error codes, no nothing pops up. It's like I held the power button down, but I'm not.

I did snoop around event viewer and all I got was: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

From source Kernel-Power.

There's no trigger. I'm just minding my own business on Edge and it'll decide to turn itself off. Or I'll be staring fondly at my wallpaper and it'll rob me of the pleasure. I've had it drop while playing Overwatch on it, too. There just seems to be no specific moment that it goes off.

I'm going to be running file system checks in a few moments, but I wanted to get your guys opinions on what the hell was going on with the thing.

It's an Acer Aspire E5-573G-52G3, for those of you who are curious or need it.

Well, I actually meant the wires in the computer. I'll just use it off the charger for now and get a new adapter when I can.

Many adapters work with multiple laptop models. If you have a friend or relative with an adapter that has the same specs (voltage, amps, etc) as your adapter. So if you don't want to wait long, you can always try that.

I'll certainly try to gain one. I think one of my friends has one that I can use, but I won't see him for awhile.
