This has happened a couple times in the past. All these times I just turned the entire system off, and the next day it was fine, as though nothing had happened. This was also the case approximately one day ago.
Today I decided to open the case up and cleaned it out, thinking it might be a dust/overheating problem. It was rather dusty inside (and I’m choking on such right now), but after I cleaned it and the fan out the computer monitor still displayed the same message. Could it perhaps be a battery problem? I know the computer runs on a lithium. The computer is also very new; runs Windows XP home addition, a 19” BenQ LCD flat screen monitor, and is only two years old, approximately. I’m not sure if it would make sense for the monitor to be the culprit, since it didn’t seem to be deteriorating. Considering the various ignored instances on which the computer had an overheating problem, I still am rather sure it’s some form of hardware error related to the fan or battery. I don’t claim to be an expert of ANY form, though, so I'd rather consult you computer-savvy people to assist me before I do something else that's brainless.
Anyhoo, I’m thinking about taking the computer in to get it checked, but considering the price I was hoping to see if anyone here had anything to add or has any idea what the problem might be.
Thank you for any help and/or suggestions, I will tell you any other information you need on the hardware if necessary.
