HP notebook shuts off after I've boon on internet for a while. When I touch it it does feel hot. Do I need a new laptop?
 
Solution
Maybe, maybe not. I would suggest running a temperature monitoring program and see what temps you are getting and where they are coming from. It may well be that the laptop just need cleaning out of dust and debris. Perhaps the thermal past on a component isn't working well anymore and will need repasting. It could be a bad or dying fan. It could also mean that a component is going to need replacing soon. Until you know what is causing the over heating, there is no way of knowing what may need to be done.

NOTE: If the device is under warranty, contact the manufacturer about a repair.
