automatically shuts down

[Guest]

i have a Toshiba Laptop, Satellite P30, just over a year and while i use
design packages like vectorworks (CAD), Photoshop etc my laptop shuts down. i
believe my laptop is over heating, and its getting more and more often.

i have tired too view my task manager and see if unreqired (exe) files are
running which i could disable. but this proven alittle difficult as i dont
which exe files belong to which software??

ive checked my meomery status and have over 50% free.

my main questions why is my computer shutting down?

and

how do i disable exe files that i dont want to start up when i switch on my
computer?

i lookforward to your respones

Have you checked the computer's user manual to see if it includes
temperature monitoring software?

Checked the sides and back of the computer to make sure ventilation
openings are clean and otherwise unobstructed?

I've seen some notebook platforms on the market that supposedly help
chill notebook computers. Anything that either aids air circulation or
positions a heat conductive plate against the bottom of the notebook
might help. CompUSA Product Number: 309760 "Three fans promote air
circulation and keep the operating temperature from rising and dragging
down your processor's performance." Kensington's LiftOffâ„¢ Portable
Notebook Cooling Stand (Mfg Part #: 60149) lifts the notebook to promote
airflow and reduce heat buildup.

Avoiding the launch of unwanted processes:

Right click on system tray items to see if they feature options on their
context menu to disable launch on startup. With some applications there
are options in their menu systems (look for things like "preferences",
"options" or "settings") for disabling launch on Windows startup. Where
they are offered, these methods are often better than the options in the
next paragraph.

Right click on Start button and explore individual and All User
Programs/Startup folders for applications using shortcuts to launch
during the OS startup. You can type "msconfig" in the Start menu's Run
pop-up and use the Startup tab of the System configuration Utility to
control many programs that launch through the system.ini file and
registry entries. The Command column in the System Configuration Utility
shows file folders which sometimes help identify applications.
