Mostly due to power failures. The first question they asked me when they came to know it was dead was, "Did you have your charger plugged in when it died." Other cases might be due to dust, excessive heating etc. If you use a Pentium 4 to run GTA IV, that's what you get. But since mine was i5, they came to the conclusion that it was due to excessive heating due to dust. I always had heating issues with this laptop (N5110).
EDIT: Forgot to say it might also happen due to rise/fall in voltage which is common in our country. We don't have electricity for 5+ hours in a day (not simultaneous 5+ hours, example for 2 hours we have electricity then for 1 hour we don't have electricity). So during this time we use generators (convert petrol to electric power) to get electricity. That also causes high voltage.
