the switching off problem is common in a few laptops ... my acer aspire 5735 was good for the first 6 months then the fan started coming on, the machine would overheat and switch off, not even a shutdown ... i got a hoover and a match, took the back off, cleaned and hoovered the fan out ( be careful not to let the fan spin while you have the hoover extension over the fan, hold the fan with the matchstick ), easy to get to, its at the back, i pulled lots of fluff out and ever since then its run sweet again, hope that info helps someone one day! peace ...
