I'm running Win XP, SP3, 2 GB of RAM, Firefox, all WU's, Avira &
SpywareDoctor set for updates and re-scans every day, MBAM, SAS, CCleaner
resident on my Compaq laptop.
Lately, sometimes right after I open up WLM and Firefox, the computer does
an immediate shutdown - The screen goes black and the computer is completely
off. Pushing the power on button brings it up just fine. This `shutdown'
doesn't always happen.
What I've tried so far is: "Dev Mgr==>Ethernet Properties. Click on Power
tools tab; deselect `let computer turn off this device to save power". The
only thing I didn't do after the Dev Mgr thing was a restart. Is there
anything else that might cause/fix this problem?
I've had some laptop fan issues, meaning that sometimes it seems to be off
when it seems like it should be on. Would overheating the drive cause this
kind of a shutdown? Would the `event logs' show anything and if so, how do I
access them on my XP machine?
