Anybody want to form some hypothesis? because I have no idea whats wrong. overheating is unlikly because i have a laptop cooler and the fan is clean.

Hard shutdowns, BSODs, or system initiated shutdowns (you see the little "your computer will shut down in 30 seconds..." window)?
None.
No Blue Screen No words just hard shutdown?
Windows Reliability and Performance Monitors says Miscellaneous Failure: Disruptive Shutdown :The Computer was not shutdown properly.

Maybe your computer is set to shut down when it reaches a certain level of temperature? Mine is set to 75C if I can last time I checked BIOS settings. Forgive me if I misuse some terms, maybe someone else can make it clear.
None.
I reset bios
It is still happening
I ran diagnostics test It seems to be failing somewhere near the memory tests.

Sounds like a hardware problem.
Does it just instantly shut down, or does it just shut down as if you had hit the button? My 4 year old XP machine does that.

I would pay attention to temperatures. Try using Everest Home to monitor your temperatures and report back to us what they are.
Also, when is this happening? Is it connected to the AC adapter? Is there a battery, etc.

Laptop coolers do not make your computer immune to overheating.
If it has been a year since you've had your laptop, think about reapplying thermal paste.
Clean out the insides and ventilation of your laptop with compressed air. Prevent over spinning your fan by holding it still with an object.
If you are playing intensive games, which even the best gaming laptops oftentimes cannot handle without overeating, think about undervolting your CPU. It will deter, or sometimes completely stop, the overheating from occurring.

Check for overheating and power failure.
I would leave it shutdown for 30 minutes then turn it back on to see if it was one of those.
If it still shuts down randomly afterwards then its something else.

If it's 2 months old, the warranty should still be valid. Just send it back in.

Well, if you like random shutdowns more than a possible reformat, don't send it in.

If you have a spare hard drive with enough space, use a drive imaging program to clone your drive into an image file on the spare hard drive, and you can use that to restore it when you get the computer back if they messed with it in any way.

dang... Well all I know is mine gets pretty hot but never had random shuts. Hopefully they get it running cause being lappy-less is like not being able to find your testicles after you get kicked in soccer haha.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
