I have an Acer Aspire 4937G, bought new in April this year. It has suddenly started coming up with the “blue screen of death” and re-booting about every 40-70 minutes. No warning and everything just shuts down and the computer then reboots. The back does not feel hot, and my AVG v8.5 and various other software for firewalls etc don’t find anything wrong. Can anyone help????

james,

well my laptop keeps shutting down on its own but its only when i leave it alone for a little while like i will go eat dinner then about an hour later it will shut down i dont think this is a overheating problem because it would be shutting down when i am on the laptop to and this only happens if i leave the laptop for an extended period of time can anyone help me?

Check laptop power settings. Most likely the laptop goes to sleep mode after a while.

I have one more question…My guest profile does not load…I get a message stating that they cannot load the guest profile..” The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.” Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem? I am completely frustrated. Thanks once again!

Hi there i wonder if anyone can help me…I am presently situated in Trinidad and Tobago..But i purchased my laptop online…Some time after purchasing it i have been getting minor problems,but now the problems have escalated…Recently my laptop shuts off without warning…I realize this happens a lot when i am playing games…I thought it was maybe a virus but i ran a comprehensive scan and nothing was found. Also my screen sometimes goes a white blank,and i have to tap it for the display to show.I’m really worried,it has only been a year and a few months since i got my laptop and as it is there are no toshiba companies where i live to help with support..I have a toshiba satellite p305d-s8818. I forgot to mention that my laptop almost fell,i tripped on the ac adapter,but luckily i caught it in time,however the ac adapter,bent into the laptop,and i tried to fix it but it made it worse and it gives a lot of problems to charge,i have to play around with it before it begins to charge…I realize the shutting down problems started occurring some time after this mishap…Can someone please help me,because i am very frustrated,especially since i am miles away from a toshiba company…*sigh*..Thanks in advance…

P.s another minor problem is sometimes the cd/dvd drive don’t read dvd’s/cd’s,neither shows up in my computer. I have to restart and open the drive in order for the dvd/cd to be read. Can anyone tell me why this happens.Thanks again!
