Does the same happen with the battery removed from the PC?<br />

Normally shutdowns like that are symptoms of overheating. Try to remove any dust if you can.

I removed the battery and the machine seems to be booting up fine now. I find that quite odd. I will take the machine apart and examine the fans.

I have a feeling that the battery is causing the issue itself as the fans and internals are okay. Looks like i'll have to look in getting this machine a replacement battery.

 A faulty battery can cause an issue.<br />
If removing off the battery clears the problem, clearly the battery <br />
is causing the shutdown.<br />

Yeah I removed the battery and it was firing up fine, so there is something up with the battery in that particular machine. Looks like I have to purchase a new one.

I have a Dell Inspiron Mini 1011 model and when I boot it up it gets the to Windows XP logo but then the machine mysteriously shuts down all of the sudden. Any idea why this would be happening?<br />
Also the battery is dead in it so I've had to hook it up to an AC Adapter.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
