I got a laptop around the 28th of December, 2005

Bought from Cyber Power System, it was custom built based on an MSI-1029 laptop.

It has been functioning fine until recently...

It starts shutting down on it's own while I'm doing stuff on the computer. The power cord IS plugged in, I am not relying on my battery so that isn't the problem.

It first happened while I was (trying) to play Rise and Fall, where it'd shut down every 10 minutes. Now it happens when I am just using the computer regularly. And it's happening more frequently.

Also, another problem I have when trying to rely on battery power, is that the computer doesn't function. The screen freezes, and I cannot access ANY programs. Can't even shut the computer down, have to push and hold the power button down for 10 seconds. Plug it in, turn it back on, and it functions fine (except for the turning on bit).

I e-mailed CPS (this morning at 12:00 AM), but they haven't responded and it's 10:30 at night (though the same day).

Now my computer is shutting down so frequently I am afraid I won't be able to connect to the internet. I'm typing this message on my sidekick.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
