I am facing some issue with my laptop so i have bought my friends Toshiba Laptop which has Windows XP install on it, whenever i run my laptop for more then an hour it gets shut down without giving any message or sometimes it just start for few minutes and then shut which. I thought that this would be because battery of low battery but even if the battery if fully charged then too facing same issue.

There are many reason because of which you laptop gets shut down, it might happen that due to overclocking your laptop would shut down when you are playing any games or using any specific software or other might be some power issue too because of which laptop would turn off. At the same time make sure your RAM is not getting overheated.

I was also facing such kind of issue my laptop used to work fine when i am trying to surf on web working with application that don't require a lot of processing power. However, when I play games or work with photo editing software such as MAYA the computer will always shut down after 5-10 minutes in that case you can also check out which application is taking heavy process and try to remove that program and after that i don't think so you will be facing same issue.
