sometime when I just run the IF/Firefox the cpu can be overheat and shut down my laptop... Here's my "Hijackthis log"
The free versions of FlashGet and BearShare install adware/spyware applications on your computer; I'd suggest uninstalling them and looking for adware-free alternatives. Aside from that though, there's nothing in your log which indicates that malicious infections are the root of your problem. I'm assuming scans with Norton come up clean also, yes?
Personally, I'd be inclined to look at other areas of your system for the cause of the problems. Here are some things that come to mind:
1. The Dachshund "accellerator" software might not be playing nicely with your system.
2. You may have a real, valid hardware fault or a thermal (overheating) problem.
3. Open Task Manager and look at the list of your running processes. Can you identify any in particular which seem to be "hogging" your CPU/memory?
4. Go to your Administrative Tools control panel, open Event Viewer, and look through your system and application logs. Do you see any warnings or errors which might point to the cause?
5. Boot the computer into Safe Mode (you get to the safe mode boot option by hitting the F8 key as your computer is starting up) and "test drive" it in Safe Mode for a while. Do the problems still occur?when I try to run Hijackthis, it show there is some error, is it normal if no what can I do to solve it . You will have to tell usexactly what the error is before we can help you on that one.

Others have encountered that error, but I've found no definitive answer(s) as to what causes it yet. Let me do a bit more research on the matter; I'll repost after that.

Sorry I wasn't able to get back this earlier; I've been pretty busy with my "real life" work in the past week.
snowwolf,
1. Aside from the following "loose end" which you can have HJT fix, your log is clean:
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {E0E899AB-F487-11D5-8D29-0050BA6940E3} - (no file)
2. Is the system still crashing?
If so, did you look into my suggestions regarding other possible (non-spyware) causes?
3. The "input past end of file" error is not specific to HijackThis; it's a general program error which often means that the application that threw up the error encountered an unexpected character in a file it was reading/processing (the win.ini file in your case). For a plain-text file like win.ini, the culprit is usually a corrupt or incorrect control character ( end-of-line, line-feed, end-of-file, etc.). Control characters are invisible when you view a file in a simple text-editing program such as Notepad, but
sometimes just opening the file in Notepad and saving it again can correct the problem. Also, if you look through the file in Notepad and notice any odd line-spacings or other fomatting inconsistencies, manually correcting those and resaving the file might clear things up.
As for the "file already open" error, that basically means that the file is reporting itself to already be in use by another program or process, but I'm not sure why you're getting the error with win.ini. I've only seen a small handful of people who have encountered that error when running HJT, but I've never seen a definitive answer as to why the error occurs.

You're welcome. Did you ever find the source of the crashes?

OK- unfortunately, it does sound like it could be a hardware problem; good luck with it. :)
