I have cleaned this old laptop up and it runs great, but after about 45 minutes to an hour, when you touch the thumb pad to move the mouse the system does a restart. Just like if you did it from the shutdown command. Can anyone help!???
Thanks to all who replied. I have opened it up, all looks well, the fan settings is (On all the time its plugged into an outlet). Strange though, it starts on high but then as soon as it boots, it shifts down to low speed. Last night I put each edge of it on a cardboard box so as to give more underside clearence and set a small in front of it pulling air under it. That seemed to have done the trick. Now that I know it is overheating, what would you suggest?
