Well i bought an hp dv2000 notebook in july for school, it came with vista, and i hated it. So i inevitably downgraded my OS to windows XP, and my notebook was running 10 times better. After a few weeks of running Xp however, my laptop has begun randomly shutting down, the screen will just turn black and then the whole notebook will turn off. I am pretty sure the cause is over heating, because it only happens when the underside of my laptop gets really warm, and since i installed XP, all of the power settings on my laptop have been kind of wierd, like stand by mode doesnt really work, if i close the screen, the computer stays on full blast it doesnt go into standby mode or shut down. Sooo if anyone knows the solution to my problem please let me know, THANKS!:)

Jump to Postthis kind of sounds like a serious problem. check your fans and make sure they are not clogged with dust. Adjust power settings a little lower, and buy a notebook chill pad from tiger direct, they are very cheap.
Vista is a great os (for me), maybe you should …
