Hi
I have posted before but solutions haven't worked. I have Vista Home Premium
running on a Dell Inspiron 1520. The machine shuts down randomly - though it
seems using YouTube brings on the problem it isn't just on YouTube and is
unpredictable.
The problem centre had identified a conflict with virus software. I had
McAfee, changed to Norton and at the suggestion here removed virus protection
completely and ran Windows firewall with Spybot. I don't seem to have the
conflict anymore but PC still fails.
I have also run every available update for Windows and Intel graphic card. I
also noticed that other errors were in the log including Windows Module
Installer and Superfetch stopping working (whatever that is).
I have also run every type of diagnostic including scandisk, defrag (even
though a new machine) and scannow. There were corrupted files in the scannow
but I can't interpret the file.
Final resort - I checked the battery wasn't loose just in case it was a
loose connection.
If anyone has had a similar experience or has suggestions for me to try or
some resource I should try I would really appreciate it.
Many thanks
