My laptop stops working after a while of working

[M Shafaat]

Hi,
My laptop with Windows XP Home SP2 and Intel Celeron 1.7 GHz stops working
after a while (about one hour) of working. No response, the only thing which
helps is to demount the battery and mount it again and then restart.



Is this any known issue for Celeron processors or a combination of Windows
setting etc.?
Please help.



Regards

This sounds like a hardware problem, possibly overheating. See these
