Bought a new laptop a few days ago.
Spent HOURS getting software loaded on it from the old one.
First couple of days no issues.
The last thing I loaded an older version of Word and Excel on it.
About two hours later it shut down for no reason, I was typing and it just shut down.
By the idiot lights, it just shows power light on, like it is in sleep or hibernate.
Both of those are set to never.
I restarted it. Ran fine for another couple of hours of use then did the same thing again, out of the blue, no warning at all, just shut down.
Not sure if this is a Vista problem or a "laptop/hardware" problem.
Before I call someone I can't understand (tech support) was just looking for any ideas or suggestions.
If I hadn't already spent all the time putting my files and programs on it I would probably just take it back right away. But would like to "try" and save it if I can.
Laptop Brand = Toshiba
Model = Satellite P205D
Processor = AMD Dual Core 2.0
Ram = 2 Gig
Operating System = Vista (with all updates as of yesterday)
Thanks
