Hi there people! 😃

I'm the owner of a 5 year old Toshiba satellite 17"laptop that was working perfectly until recently when it started having random shutdowns. 

At first it would just turn off and I could just turn it on again and continue with my work, however lately it started shutting down and I wouldn't be able to turn it back on until I took out both Ram and ssd with the battery, pressed power button few times, returned ram ssd and battery back and pressed power button to boot it.

 

 

Note that laptop is not overheating as far as I can tell 

Temperatures go from 40 to 65 degrees Celsius. Air filter is cleaned of dust and thermal paste reapplied. 

 

And it will shut down faster if I run more tasking processes. 

What could be the problem? 

 

Edit: OS is windows 10

Anything. Its old and hardware tends to die after 5-6 years in laptops

But wouldn't it cause shutdown constantly and not just when I put it under stress? Which is not much at this point. Anything that is using more than 50% of resources will cause shutdown.  Or so it seems.
