Hard shutdowns, BSODs, or system initiated shutdowns (you see the little "your computer will shut down in 30 seconds..." window)?
None.
No Blue Screen No words just hard shutdown?
Windows Reliability and Performance Monitors says Miscellaneous Failure: Disruptive Shutdown :The Computer was not shutdown properly.

Maybe your computer is set to shut down when it reaches a certain level of temperature? Mine is set to 75C if I can last time I checked BIOS settings. Forgive me if I misuse some terms, maybe someone else can make it clear.
None.
I reset bios
It is still happening
I ran diagnostics test It seems to be failing somewhere near the memory tests.

Sounds like a hardware problem.
Does it just instantly shut down, or does it just shut down as if you had hit the button? My 4 year old XP machine does that.

I would pay attention to temperatures. Try using Everest Home to monitor your temperatures and report back to us what they are.
Also, when is this happening? Is it connected to the AC adapter? Is there a battery, etc.

Laptop coolers do not make your computer immune to overheating.
If it has been a year since you've had your laptop, think about reapplying thermal paste.
Clean out the insides and ventilation of your laptop with compressed air. Prevent over spinning your fan by holding it still with an object.
If you are playing intensive games, which even the best gaming laptops oftentimes cannot handle without overeating, think about undervolting your CPU. It will deter, or sometimes completely stop, the overheating from occurring.

Check for overheating and power failure.
I would leave it shutdown for 30 minutes then turn it back on to see if it was one of those.
If it still shuts down randomly afterwards then its something else.

If it's 2 months old, the warranty should still be valid. Just send it back in.

Well, if you like random shutdowns more than a possible reformat, don't send it in.

If you have a spare hard drive with enough space, use a drive imaging program to clone your drive into an image file on the spare hard drive, and you can use that to restore it when you get the computer back if they messed with it in any way.
None.

dang... Well all I know is mine gets pretty hot but never had random shuts. Hopefully they get it running cause being lappy-less is like not being able to find your testicles after you get kicked in soccer haha.
None.

Ultraviolet -- RIVERIVE shouted: Beta 4 lyfe, ya kno
feels like a lower commitment. like if someone bitches about something, I can say it's in beta phase whatchu expect?

NudeRaider -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: NudeRaider I suppose that's one justification for pushing it to 1.00. I'm still messing with some novel concepts, I completely revamped the Shadowcraft hero in v0.18 and there's some kinks to work out with some of the other changes I made, but I suppose that doesn't mean I can't call the currently version 1.XX
indeed

Ultraviolet -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Ultraviolet Oh, then your versioning is maybe a bit misleading. I didn't have much trust in a v0.2

NudeRaider -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: Imp UV3 is actually in the works with some major changes, but it's been slow going. I'd like to have a version of Imp UV for every tileset at one point.. hopefully it doesn't take until 2030
prediction: It will.

NudeRaider -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: NudeRaider Oh definitely fully playable. I used the first map as the shell, so it was basically complete from the first release. I've made some tweaks and improvements here and there based on nuances between the maps, like UV2 has more air units so certain ground-focused heroes like Psycho and Shadowcraft have needed some buffing. Other improvements have been little bug fixes or ways of stopping cheese strategies (like the bosses now spawn in a random location instead of at their lair so players can't just camp them with nukes. UV2 is definitely harder despite only being 4 levels + boss fight instead of 5. I'd say it's definitely worth a go, there's some unique mechanics that make each of the levels have kind of their own interesting spin
Oh, then your versioning is maybe a bit misleading. I didn't have much trust in a v0.2[2023-9-27. : 7:21 pm]
