Hmm..laptop just decided to switch off again. Now it switching off and refusing to get past the windows login page. Take the Wifi card out and it boots. Get a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" message then.

Error caused by graphics device driver (according to MS online crash analysis). Hmmm...don't know what to do about that!
EDIT: now it won't boot up at all. I have to physically disconnect the power lead to try to boot up, as pressing the button does nothing, When the button is pressed, it gets past the bios screen, then crashes again. On the phone to the helpline as u type - 8 minute queue!!In a rut? Can't get out? Don't know why?

My son is only getting 50 minutes out of a full charge playing FM 2005!!! (before 10% battery life warning kicks in)
I tried charging... opening nothing... And watching the battery "time left", and even at 99% with nothing open it's sub 2 hours.The MSE Dictionary

Ok, that's it. Had enough now. Going to put a fresh install of Windows XP on the damn thing, as it won't even reboot out of the factory restore. It's just hanging there.In a rut? Can't get out? Don't know why?
