Could be many things:
I would check the power settings to see how your system behaves.
Might just be that your battery doesnt have enough charge, capacity is under xx% and it goes off automatically because of that?
Let me know !

Many possibilities. Bad battery. Bad charging port. Bad connection between the port and the battery. Bad battery board. Bad motherboard. Bad bios. Heck, even bad user is a possibility.

Looks like bad battery

test.. run laptop plugged... unplug from wall... see if it stays running or shutsdown...

laptop, battery and user is all right, laptop almost new, I doubt in power converting system, which is tripping and didn't convert power from charger to battery, (in actual state, when pluged in charger, laptop didn't get the power from battery, it did get directly from charger, battery stay unused and just charging, when its full charged then it still stay unused, and when charger power goes off, then some kind of system immediately transfer power from battery to laptop and the laptop didn't feel the slightest disturbance of power loss)

I checked it, its only happens when I play some heavy game. currently I playing 2 game, Resident Evil Revelation and International Snooker 2012,
yesterday, I face the problem with both games. but now, a few minutes before writing this reply, the problem did not happen with Snooker game, it is really confusing.
problem not occurred when laptop in normal state, browsing internet, watching movies. etc

Your laptop comes in 3 flavors of processors, these are the heat limits of each..



B950 85 c

I3-2330M 85 c

I5-2340M 100 c

You can get in the high 70s c very easily, even just watching youtube HD full screen..

Download and install CoreTemp, its free and will show you your core temps.. you can have it warn you about dangerous temps, or even put your laptop to sleep or shutdown when critical temperature is reached..

You may need to sit your laptop on a cooler like I do.. Its not bad it keeps it balanced on my lap without plugging the bottom holes where it breathes from.. I dont even plug my cooler in, just the gap is sufficient..

Check your temps, let us know..

appreciate your reply. but you didn't get what I m trying to say or I did not able to tell you clearer.. let me try again,
its only happens when I playing game and most important thing is when plugged in charger, and the laptop suddenly turn off exactly the moment when charger power goes off. so is it a heating problem or some sort of power problem.?

another thing I noticed that this problem is some time happened and some time not.
some time another different thing happened that when playing game and charger power goes off then laptop did not turn off. but when charger power comes ON then laptop is suddenly turn off.
it seem clearer that it is a power problem, and I don't able to solve this problem.

like i posted in my other post ,if you are loosing you main power source then you need to plug into a device link the ones in the link ,the laptop will then run on battery backup provided by the device .

Surge Protector & Battery Backup for sale at PCTRUST Computer sales and service in Guelph, Ontario,Canada

hmmm, it kind of a "UPS" we called it. (uninterrupted power supply).

yupp thats what it is and in my opinion a ups is what you need ,


or a new laptop .lol

after re-reading your original post I believe I finally know your problem.. heres your partial quote

when not playing games. and the main power (electricity) is gone, then this problem is not occurred.
plz understand my problem and reply me.
sorry for my bad English.

It appears that when you are playing your games the power draw on your system is greater than what your adapter can supply.

So youre actually running on battery even though you are plugged in..

If you can look at your battery icon it will probably say "NOT CHARGING"

one way to easily test this is to set your power plan to dim your screen to half brightness when its running on batteries, at that point you will know the instant you are not running on adapter power..

You can test this by running your laptop and unplugging it from the wall, the screen should be only half bright at the moment you unplug it.

You may only have a 65Watt power supply, you will need a 90W or even 100W power supply

your first and last point is very strong... nice observation. no doubt it is the most probability.. but adapter is not totally dead.. it does charge the battery and I did not seen "NOT CHARGING" status ever..
I will must change power adapter. thanks alot for understanding and give me guidance.
rep added bro..
