Tablet shuts down

Hi my tablet sometimes shuts down and restarts on its own. Can you tell me why and what to do? It's android Samsung Tab 4. Plus sometimes it freezes and I have to shut down manually and restarts.

Thankyou
Pat

That tablet was released in 2014. It is ancient. How long have you had it and did you get it new? What android os is installed on it? Finally, does it feel hotter than normal? Most likely, it is showing its age. If you had it for years, the battery could be dying, the apps are no longer updated and if they are, they may struggle to run giving you problems such as what you are having.

a couple of things to try, get rid of any files and apps you no longer use, wipe the system cache, or even do a tablet reset and start from scratch. The problem with starting from scratch is you could lose some apps that was updated and the older versions that will work on your tablet will no longer be available.

That is really about all you can do, Might be time to ask Santa to bring you a new one for christmas.
