[Trisquel-users] Losing power

[bobandrew]

Three times in a row, my laptop just powered off while I was manipulating it,  
with both battery and power cord plugged in. Never experienced this situation  
before. The battery was around one third up or higher when it happened.

Can some sort of overheating trigger a power off? I noticed that it had been  
heating a bit more than usual since I was using some relatively resource  
intensive stuff (intensive for a 6+ yo supermarket laptop).

Or could it be that some inner contacts did not like being manipulated? I  
cannot reproduce the problem after it has cooled down. What evil power spirit  
has been playing with that laptop?
