I have this continious problem with it. Basically  If i use it for a couple of hours, it works fine. If i then want to use it again the same day, it fires up to he desktop, and works fine for about 5 minutes, then it freezes and shuts down. And then if I restart it again, everything starts up and then it shuts down again.This happens before windows gets loaded. help?

Replies anonomouse Posted at 1:01 am on June 30, 2009 It's either a really bad problem with windows (driver conflict? registry fu*k up?) or with the hardware itself (dying components). It's hard to say exactly what it is... espresso8097 Posted at 7:35 pm on June 27, 2009 I have had to fix problems like that, easiest thing to do was to format the hard drive and reinstall Windows. conoris16 Posted at 6:35 am on June 27, 2009 you might need new ram All 3 previous replies displayed.
