unexpected shutdown sony vaio

elicorry — Sat, 28 Sep 2013 10:23:55 GMT

Hi I am having issues with my vaio svt1313 shutting down unexpectedly. Sometimes I get to login then it shuts down sometimes I can open up and start working on something,e.g. Office word, then it shuts down. I only bought this laptop a few months ago. The only other issue I have had was a week ago trying to save a PowerPoint with video and it kept crashing but not turning off. I can't find anything useful in Sony's support pages. Any advice?

Hi elicorry and welcome.

I presume you have downloaded and installed all the Sony and Microsoft updates for your model?

If your Vaio is fully patched and up to date I would speak to Sony Vaio Support to see if this problem is known to them.

To contact Support go here, click on Vaio and Computing and enter your Vaio's Serial Number: -

The most common cause is overheating - but it sounds like this happens to you at startup.
