My wife's notebook is crashing for no apparent reason, and we're a bit baffled by it. Can anyone point us in the right direction, or suggest some tests we could run?

After 20-25 min. the computer suddenly turns off, as if you pulled the battery out. No warnings from windows, nothing. Then if you turn it back on, it seems to last less and less time before it shuts down again. The battery reads at 100% according to windows. She said it feels hot to the touch on the underside (where the fans are) but the fans are indeed working. The lights on the front indicate the AC adaptor is connected. We tried running it with the battery removed and just the power cord connected, but the same thing happened.

Thanks!
