I have been using a Toshiba Satellite laptop since Christmas and have had no problems until recently. In the last 24 hours I had the same problem happen several times. The problem is the following: the laptop will just switch itself off spontaneously. It is not the power settings as I have checked them. At first I thought that it might be some security setting for overheating, as the laptop felt warmer than usual, but the cooling fans are still working, so I don't know whether it can be that. Otherwise from this problem the laptop is working fine, I am just worrying that some hardware might have gone wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: the times when this has happened was once while running Disc Cleanup and the other time while just listening to music.
