My laptop was running horrendously slow, so I felt it was time I reinstalled XP. The reinstall went fine, but after adding the usual virus scan, Photoshop, wireless software etc. it suddenly froze and turned off. Every time I restart, it runs fine for about two minutes then freezes and turns off again.
I used my recovery disc to open the recovery console and ran chkdsk, which identified a fault, but doesn't seem to have fixed it or gave me the option of fixing it. I've never used the recovery console before, so I don't really know what to do with it besides that. It could be a problem with XP or a piece of software, but I can't run System Restore fast enough before it shuts off. Any advice on what to do next?
Thanks,
Phil
