Computer shut down and why?

To many ads? Support ODJT and see no ads!
Someone gave an HP laptop to my nephew recently because the fan stopped working. He took it apart and found so much dust (and cat hair!) that compressed air probably wouldn't have don the trick. He cleaned it out and the fan works again. The laptop is about 3 years old and working fine now. Dust is an insulator and keeps the heat in. And if there's so much that the fan stops working, the computer will shut down.

Idiot I never said he wouldn't fix mine!!!!!!!!!!!! My laptop doesn't need fixing. Mine works fine after about 3 years of use. My desktop needed to be taken care of and he did that for me. Oh and by the way he did say he finally got that laptop back working so it doesn't shut down. He's always reformatting his computers. My laptop I've never had to do that. That's because I only use it to DJ with and nothing else. Once when my desktop was down I put it online but never again and that was for a very short while.

Reformatting is not how you resolve a problem. This is not a techie. Reformatting is the easiest answer to any and all problems. In addition, if he's always reformatting, then he's doing something wrong. Would you take your car to a mechanic - if his car was always broken?

It only takes seconds to attack and infect a machine .. regardless of how long your 'short while' was.

My thinking is that he's always adding things on to his laptops and it causes problems. My laptop is for gigs. Like I said I've never had an issue other then what mistakes I've made using my laptop. The laptop has worked flawlessly for as long as I've had it.

Doesn't mean you won't. Gig laptops can also be on the net .. as long as they are maintained properly. In fact, even dedicated gig machines should be plugged in for updates.

You still don't get it. Like I said he decided to fix the issue on hie own. He said he fixed the problem himself. So that's that. He didn't take any help from the tech guy. He offered and was basically told he'll do things his way.

All I know is my machine is still working fine.
 
*yawn* I need some Meds for this continuass headache
