Hello from France. The machine was bought in Nov. 2007, so there is no warranty left to think about. Now, as soon as October 2008, it started to shut down on its own--really shut down, with no warning, in the middle of whatever. The first time I contacted the after-sales service, but they...

Hi, folks! The other day I picked up a new laptop. I have no programs that are compatible with Vista so I downgraded it to XP. I'm still hunting for all the drivers ... but that's not my question! I have noticed with utilities like CPU-Z that the CPU clock is not throttled down when it...
