Re: Laptop randomly reboots
Hi,
looks like the laptop is going too hot. This is a problem at many laptops.
because of the cooler is set with dust.
Take a look at the cooling system, if there is any dust in the way.
Especially, as you told, this is a used one, take care of good cooling.
Sadly you have to open the laptop and take a look.
It might be, that the cooling is enough, when at normal load, but at high load
at some point, the cooling is no more enough and the laptop reboots or is
shutting down.
If this is the reason, there should be a log entry in syslog.
There is also some packages, from which can the sensors can be watched.
Check lm-sensors or similar.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
Hans
