What is the temperatures of your vaio's processor.?

[Thalamus.]

How long have you had your Vaio.?

What are you normally doing just before your Vaio shuts down.?

Have you tried cleaning the cooling vents of dust with compressed air (you should be able to get this from your local PC shop), check the instructions on the can before using because if used incorrectly you could damage the fan..

If you're still within warranty then I suggest you contact Sony Vaio support again, you can do this either by phone or via e-Support, use the following link to find the contact details: Sony Vaio Support
