I have an Acer Aspire v3-551g-8454 laptop. Lately it has been shutting itself off after anywhere from 5 to 24 hours of it being turned on. In the past I could simply turn it back on and resume from there. Now, when I try to turn it back on, the power button just flashes a few times and the laptop doesn't turn on. The laptop doesn't feel overly hot anywhere on it's surface.

Any tips?

Thanks

    It sounds like a overheating situation. When it gets too hot it will shut itself off to protect the processor.You may have finally fried the processor.

    Ok, thanks for the response. Do you think I should try to have the damage assessed and fixed or just buy a new laptop? :\

    If you pay someone to fix it, it's not worth it. Put it on eBay as "wont start" and see what.
