Laptop turning itself off.

[LivingDoll]

Just say if I'm on my laptop for a few straight hours it'll turn itself off for no reason at all, it wont shut down... it just completely knocks itself off. Then if I try and turn it back on straight away it'll do it again I have to wait about an hour for it to be okay again. Someone told me it could be over heating, which sounds about right tbh because the back gets really hot. Is there a way to fix this?

Yes it sounds like overheating. There are cooling stands I've seen available for laptops which might help, but a quick fix might be a small desktop fan pointed at the com.

You could also try blowing out dust and hairs from the fan with a product like this.

I do get the exact same problem and your right it is overheating. Its as simple as pointing a fan at the back of the laptop or get a breeze going if you can by opening a window. They can get really hot
