Hi Can anyone please help?

My laptop keeps turning off during system processes such as burning a CD or
performing a virus or spyware scan.

Many thanks!

If the system turns off and does not attempt to restart, this is very often
due to hardware failure, perhaps caused by heat. If the problem is getting
worse, that's a stronger indication - these parts don't heal.

Unfortunately, it can be hard (expensive) to locate exactly which component
has cooked and failed, and even then, laptops are often fixed by way of
motherboard replacement.

Sorry to say, you likely need to start thinking about system replacement, or
the system's warranty if it still applies.
