Try the Technical Issues forum. If you provide specs for your system, I'm sure someone can help you.

since it happened again and again the last days, i comcluded that it was an overheat of the laptop and shutdown due to high tempareture (heated of SL ofcourse).
thanks

Your computer's CPU and heatsink may be clogged with dust.

Do you know if your fan is working? Is the fan covered with dust? You might want to buy a laptop cooler and some monitoring software to tell you if your system is too hot. Maybe take it to a professional for inspection and internal cleaning. :D
