XP or Dell driver problems
Hi,
This might be an XP or Dell problem, I'm not sure.
My poor old laptop needs to survive just a few more months until I get my tuition reimbursement for fall. It's a Dell Inspiron 5100 with that damn Radeon Mobility thing.
Video isn't working, and the computer just decides to shut off once in awhile at random. It isn't the heat--the computer never shuts itself off unless video or music is playing, never any other time. But I need to use some video and music stuff for the end of this semester, so I need to get this fixed.
I don't think this is a virus or hijack problem. It's probably hardware or drivers. The Dell website didn't offer much help. Can anyone lend a hand?
Thanks,
Dan
