This is just and idea it might not work but it did with
mine. I was having a similar problem and what i did was
open the computer and clean up the interior with an air
hose. Apparently all the dust cause some kind of problem.
you have nothing to loose and if it doesn't work you will
have a clean computer. Make sure you do not use too much
power with the air hose. email me at let me
know if it work.
