help fast laptop shuts off when xp insetered
My laptop is fine, except I get the blue screen of death every now and then saying machine check exception A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
Anyway, I went into safe mode for hours and the computer was fine. I reinstalled the graphics drivers and I could play games in normal mode, but now I get the blue screen of death again. When I put xp in and tell it to install xp on the same partition the laptop shuts down. I don't know what to do.

Re: help fast laptop shuts off when xp insetered
shutsdown as in OFF? try reseating your RAM. also check the vents and heatsink if they are clogged with dust or other materials.
you said it runs OK in Safe Mode? but when you installed video drivers, it began to shutdown? try to uninstall video drivers in Device Manager and also any video driver related programs in ADD/REMOVE. once done, install the chipset driver and the video driver. post back what happens.

Re: help fast laptop shuts off when xp insetered
Now the laptop runs fine, but the lcd needs to be replaced.
I didn't try the xp disc again, but I am a little scared to. No overheating or anything, cause I've been playing games and other stuff, and this laptop doesn't do anything bad anymore. Thanks anyway. I which I could get a $100.00 lcd for this laptop. 17" costs $170 and up.
