My fujitsu P series laptop has a death wish

    I have a fujitsu P series laptop running on XP. For the last two days the machine is continually crashing and it's taking 5 - 10 attempts to reboot. The computer is only a year and a half old, was purchased in the US so it's out of guarantee and I understand that it will have to be shipped back to the US for any kind of diagnostic work. Could anyone help me with either identifying someone who could take a look at this (I have been unsuccessful going through the golden pages) or else offering some kind of solution I could try myself. (I'm a tech illiterate though...)

    I'm also going to buy a second hand laptop as a back up/spare. I have an external hard drive so don't need a huge drive but I do need a dvd/cd rom drive and 512mb ram. If anyone could offer advice on where to get one or an average price then I'd be grateful.

    Thanks in advance

    Are you getting any blue screens or just rebooting? Well you can test a few things yourself, try running memtest for a start, you can stick it on a floppy or make a bootable CD to use it.

    No blue screens just crashing and rebooting. Thanks for the the link to memtest - I'll look that up and try it and see what happens next...
