    Why is my laptop shutting down? Is it because of the overheating?


    Hi all.I have a HP Elitebook 8440p. Its an old model. But I have been using Windows 10 in this laptop. I had installed 128GB SSD a year back. Since then, the laptop has been working fine without freezing. When my laptop overheats, the fan gets a little louder than before. Then it eventually turns off without any warning. I cannot watch youtube videos in my browser. It shuts down without any warning. I cannot run more apps on this computer.Is it because I have a 4GB RAM? or does my computer needs servicing to clear out all the dusts.PS: Please dont suggest to use a straw and clean out the vents

    :)

    Older laptop keeps shutting down.

    Check the CPU temperature since overheating can cause a forced shut down. I suggest removing the back and cleaning out any dust.

    Laptop overheated while plugged in

    Dear ArunKaluvakolanu,

    I'm Dyari. Thanks for reaching out. I will be happy to assist you in this regard.

    Since you have reset the computer and the issue still persists, most probably it has a hardware issue, however, try these additional steps and check to see if the issue is still available or not:

    1-Plug in the laptop. Let it be overheated, right-click on the taskbar > Task Manager > Process tab > Take a screenshot and post it back. Do you hear a fan spinning when your plug in the laptop?

    2-Plug in the laptop. Let it be overheated > click on Start > Settings > Windows update and security > Troubleshoots > Additional troubleshooter > Power > Run troubleshooter.

    3-Plug in the laptop. Let it be overheated > Click on Start > Control Panel > Power Options > On the selected power plans, click on Change plan settings > Restore it to default.

    4-If it did not help, I would suggest performing a clean install.

    5-If the issue still persists even after a clean install, I would suggest testing your laptop with a brand new charger or taking the laptop to a reliable maintenance shop.

    Please let me know if you need further assistance and keep me updated.

    Stay safe
