Check the Task Manager for anything you don't recognize?

I don't know any of the background processes but there's nothing actively running in the task manager that I don't recognize.

Have you looked up your problem on Google?
Zaphking
Zaphking
I don't know what I would look up without spending like 50 words on it.

Is the computer displaying an error code when it does this?
Zaphking
Zaphking
Nope. It just throws an error sound, shows the spinning doot for like a quarter of a second, and then turns off.

Assuming you have light indicators on your laptop, have you seen them doing anything when this happens (flashing, different color than normal)?
Zaphking
Zaphking
I have no light indicators.

Is your battery fully charged? Does it drain quickly when you're using it?
Zaphking
Zaphking
It only does this when it's plugged in and it has a totally normal battery life when it's not.

Charger or dock to a bigger screen?
Zaphking
Zaphking
Charger.

How old is the charger, did it come with the laptop?
Zaphking
Zaphking
I think so? I'm not the one who bought the laptop so I'm assuming it came with it.

Do you have a spare one? Maybe you could change the charger. I don't have a Windows laptop, so this is as far as I can help you.
Zaphking
Zaphking
I only have this charger so I can't change it out.
Lightning McQueen
Lightning McQueen
Ah. I've done all I can to help, I'm sorry. I would suggest though getting a new charger and seeing if that was the problem. Hopefully those are cheap.
