annwfynI think my laptop is dying.
Allegedly it has a battery life of 7 hours. It can actually last about 15 minutes away from a power cable when fully charged. Anything more challenging than firefox means it overheats and shuts down within about 10 minutes. It can't run photoshop, WoW, or Dragon Age. I've done a complete reinstall once. That basically meant it could cope with firefox and that doesn't kill it. Anything more still messes it up.
It might need a new battery. I don't know. I hope that will at least drag out its life expectancy as I can't afford a new laptop right now. I just have this bad feeling that it's going down and there's not a lot I can do about it.
