Seems that your hard-drive looks to be the problem.
I would advise doing the following as this website shows:

If anything on that website is not clear then please post back here again. I would recommend the second option using command prompt.

upgrade to 2gigs of ram (only costs $15-$30 at tiger direct and is easy to install) and if possible, take of all crap ware and trial software off of it. If you don't have money for ram, your stuck.

I can buy ram. That's not a problem for me.
No crap ware or trial software installed in my laptop.

Just wanted to know how to put that 2 gigs ram in my laptop. How is it possible? Do I need to go to computer shop where they can open my laptop and remove 1 gig ram and put 2 gigs ram ?

just go to the fujitsu website or manual and it should tell you. Your notebook should be able to support the two gigs, or maybe even four. Free of charge, they shop should let you know where the cover is.

I guess it happened both times when I was listening songs in Real Player.
It gets freeze when I open Windows Media Player, File, Open, Computer and the computer gets restarted whereas now in Real Player when I listen songs, it get freeze in minutes.

So it means there is some problem in multimedia hardware in my laptop?
But I don't face such problem or any other in Windows XP.

Can any one help me out or I should get back to old Windows XP
