TravelMate P215-41-G2-R6G9 randomly shuts down. I found the solution (it works not only for me)

The exact laptop model is TMP215-41-G2-R6G9

System logs shows event id 41 and 6008

I bought the laptop in February 2022. Since then the laptop randomly shuts down. It could work 5 minutes or 2 hours before shutting down but it happened regularly. I have found and tried every possible way to fix the problem, but nothing has worked.

The only solution that worked was to disconnect the battery from the laptop and connect the laptop to the mains. I know at least 1 person with the same laptop that had the same issue and this solution helped him as well.

Most likely the problem is hardware related. Please try to fix this with a new BIOS version.

So it sounds like your particular shutdowns were due to thermal overloading? That means the CPU temperature was going over the 100C limits. It should have been obvious by running a temperature monitoring app. I use Core Temp on my systems, which put the various core temps on the task bar for me. I expect you will see almost no difference between 99% maximum and 100% maximum…
