I purchased a brand new relatively well quipped laptop 3 days ago. From day one, right out of the box (with no downloads or tweaks) I experienced IE 7.0 crashing every 5-10 minutes; sometimes where it would recover from and sometimes where it would completely shut down. After I lost my patience I posted a question on answers and people seemed to agree I should try Firefox, so I downloaded and began using 3.0.5 only to experience crashing in Firefox as well that was equally as disruptive as IE. I am really at my wits end because I mostly use the computer for internet browsing. I am also very unhappy with the restart time which is two minutes and sixteen seconds (I actually timed it) which seems crazy for a Core 2 Duo processor with 4 gig of ram. Is this a vista thing? I believe I have ruled out IE 7.0 by replicating the same problem with Firefox. In case it matters I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit with Service Pack 1

My Laptop Keeps Turning Itself Off…?
October 10th, 2009Okay well I have an HP Pavilion zd8000 and I usually just keep it on the charger because I don’t have wireless internet & the battery dies fast if I don’t. The past couple of days it won’t act funny or anything but it gets really hot and then it just shuts down without warning and will just come on and then go right back off, but then if I take it off charge and leave it off for about 10 minutes and turn it back on it works fine. Is it possible that by leaving it on charge it is making it overheat and shut down? Or what could be wrong with it?

My Hp Laptop Computer Keeps Turning Off And On Repeatedly?
June 17th, 2009I currently own an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC that has Webroot Antivirus with Antispyware.
It first began when I was on Internet Explorer when the computer screen started to become fuzzy and unclickable. Naturally I decided to restart the program when this problem arrived.
Currently when there is even a small amount of charge on the computer it begins turning on for around 3 seconds and turning itself back off and on. The process continues until the laptop is out of battery.
This isn’t a problem of overheating. The fan doesn’t sound choppy and the laptop isn’t hot during the process.
It would help dramatically if anyone could tell me what the issue is if it’s just a system failure or if a virus has infected the computer beyond standard maitenance repair.
