why does my computer shut off by itself
1016629
I have no idea. Mine shuts down the screen and for all practical purposes looks dead but if I move the mouse it comes back to life. Not all at once but you can see it lighting up on the bottom edge of the screen, It is, essentially, a laptop so I assume it does it to save the screen and "battery" if it sits for quite awhile with no input. Hope this helps.....

To me that sounds like there is a glitch. Do you shut down the machine when not in use?

Does the same thing happen when you close the lid? I'm thinking that you might have your computer set up to turn off or sleep when the lid is closed. Otherwise, I would suspect that your battery connectors lose contact when jarred and shut the machine down. That is definately not normal, and should be fixed ASAP. The abrupt shutdowns can cause problems.

It will shut itself off, but eventually it will turn itself back on, once the element cools. I use it for simmering and hardly notice the shut off. That feature is a pain when I am trying to fry something.

there is an on and off switch and if u leave it on and turn your laptop off it will go off automatically and come back on when u turn ur laptop back on. Hope this helps

I think the computer crashes too often. When you use it for a while, opening a bunch of programs, it just dies and restarts by itself.

It turns off by itself (standy) after some period of inactivity but like most gadgets these days there is no complete off button.

You have to set it back to 0.0 and I'm not exactly sure but it's either 5 or 10 minutes of no use it shuts itself off

I think so. It turns off by itself, or you can manually turn it off. I am not 100% sure but its either one or both.

It goes into a standby mode, and the green light begins to go on and off, Indicating it needs to be refilled. In my opinion this is "auto shut off". But it may be consuming trace amounts of electricity. Minimal if any. It is a great feature.

That never happened to me after using it daily for 7 months. I would say it is not normal if it keeps shutting off by itself,

If the unit is connected correctly the power light should not stay on when the computer is turned off. If you have the unit connected incorrectly to the mother board then anything could be possible. All the units that I have the power light goes off as soon as the computer shuts down. Check your connections.

If you are using it for a serious gaming machine, it may shut down from overheating itself. Otherwise it seemed to cool itself fine.

It should turn itself off after a few seconds, if it doesn't it may be defective.

Have not had this issue, but would think you maybe right on the money. Your computer may be dropping "vampires" (Items hooked up to your USB that are using power (although very minimal in this case)). As i generally do a daily shut down I have not had this issue.
