    Hi,

    Issue I'm having with a Studio 1555. The Laptop will boot fine and run normally some days.
    Sometimes the laptop will suddenly cut out - as if power was removed.
    On reboot, nothing. Boots as usual.
    On some days this happens during the boot process.
    Others, it will be during normal operation.
    Sometime if you nudge the laptop, or mess with the battery/power supply.
    Sometimes nothing will happen if you shake the laptop etc... So intermittent.
    I read about people having overheating issues with these models..
    I wouldn't have thought this was the case - I can run CPU/GPU intensive tasks with out issue, I can crash while editing Word...
    The laptop has a new SSD, all connections look good, nothing obvious on the inside. Fan is a little dusty, but i've seen far worse... Temps look good in HWMonitor...

    Any thoughts on this?
