"Always Charging" you say? Sounds like the battery is dying, try running the Laptop without the battery, only leave the power lead connected and see if it does it. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Build

Actually I have heard of Windows 7 to install on 512MB, but it really really really recommends at least 1GB for 32-Bit.
I almost gasped for air when I saw that screen shot.
Usually OS shuts down as well when the Processor gets too hot so it will shut down as a safety precaution. Might be a dirty fan, needs new heatsink, paste.. whatever.
Also, your ram might be going too.. but usually it doesn't shut down, windows will just crash. *lol* | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion Elite HPE-410f

Did it recently have a fall or anything (that could damage the coolling system). | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
