I have an older i3 samsung laptop which tends to shut down - overheated? not sure if worth repairing. or upgrading? who is best to look at this and what would it cost? am in sydney and need to decide whether to get a new laptop or repair it? its specs are;-
win 7 premium svc pack 1; samsung 4.9 win experience index; intel core 13 cpu; M330@ 2.13 GHz; memory 4Gb ram 2.99 usable; 32 bit operating system; no pen or touch input;
I have replaced the battery and the problem is it works for a while before it overheats? or it could be hardware? eg connector or even adapter? or even internal? or software? it works for a time and then suddenly cuts out.
am a newbie and non IT tech guy.
If it's heat related, clean it out.
edit: what makes you think it's heat related? Is it hot?
