Acer Aspire 5500 powers off suddenly ..help !!

[esumitkumar]

I have 3 yrs old Acer Aspire 5500. Battery is very weak and lasts for only 10-15 mins. I have taken battery out and now running Laptop on direct AC mains ...but the prob is that after 30 mins or 1 hr its too much heated from below and suddenly powers off even while AC mains are on ..

Can u help me in troubleshooting and correcting this prob

Thanks
Sumit
