You need to shut down restart. At that time it will give you the option to start in safe mode.

Disconnect printer,/scanner, camera, USB stick connected to the computer. Try to start it in safe mode by hitting F8 key at the start-up.

either your power adapter os faulty or the cooling fan inside the laptop had failed forcing the laptop to shut down as safety precaution.

Maybe try to upgrade to windows 7 if the specs. will allow it. If you already have windows 7, then do a clean install. Make sure that automatic updates is chosen in when reinstalling windows.

hi

i am not sure i understand.. what OS did you have originally ? id you isntalled Windows 7 recently, did you format the hard disk drive entirely ?
have you downloaded all the drivers (audio, video, BIOS, etc..) go to the link below to get the drivers
usually a blue screen could be that teh memoryt module(s) are not seated properly. shut down the notebook, remove the battery, remove the memory modeule plastic door, remove the memory module one a timne and reseat them properly. replace the battery, start up the computer after plugging in the AC adapter .
does it show blue screen ? if so, download all the drivers from the link i provided.

as long as you are not having a hardware issue, windows 7 fixes alot of vistanogo's problems. i would recommend windows 7 professional for mixed home office use and 64 bit. if you are having alot of blue screens, i recommend trying to reload windows to factory settings. the 0(zero) key is the one you press and hold with eht battery out and connected to dc power to get to the restore partition. follow the prompts and reinstall. if this works reinstall all the updates for vista up to and to include service pack 2. then purchase windows 7(do not recommend pirated software because of the risk of viruses and errors). install the update to windows 7 option and repost on your findings.

you shouldn't of installed it because if you would of ran the windows 7 compatibility thing that is on the disc, it would say that your computer is incompatible. You should buy another copy of windows xp and install that.

It is windows 7 issue. Windows 7 is having the same problem like windows vista. They are actually the same operating system, but Microsoft rename to windows 7. Try taking the burner out and to see if it loads up.

Look...maybe the processor cooler is dusted.If the processor get to varm hes shut down.
