Question Problem with Clevo M54N laptop
I bought a laptop from Novatech, it's manufacturers model number is the M54N. My one and only issue with the laptop is that it likes to shutdown without warning, no warnning screens just shuts down like you have just pulled all power from the system.

I did not have this problem until well after the 28 days return/refund period was over. I have spoken to their tech support several times, and they say the same things. I stated what I was doing at the time of it shutting down.

The first few times I was just chating on Messenger, Surfing and on MIRC. Then I got into Guild Wars, I know already that my graphics card is being pushed hard while playing it. Due to it only being a Mobile Intel 945GM Graphics Card.

I was later told to buy a Cool Mat to keep the air cool under the processor fan cool etc this possibly being the cause of my laptop shutting down.

I wanted to ask those with more knowledge and possibly finding out why it is happening. I have only one choice available to me at this time. And that is to send it back for testing and repair. Which is what Novatech told me in a reply to a complaint email I sent them.

I'm hoping someone here has some knowledge of Clevo products or of anything like this happening with other brands.

Thanks in advance!

Is this happening when you are on batteries or plugged into the power?
If batteries how long have you been using the computer?
