ok well i tried it twice, and that didn't help it. it still shut down. And just so you know i went to the task manager and disabled the sidebar, then waited about 20 mins and closed the screen (with it still disabled) then i waited for about hour with the screen closed and opened it back up an it had shut down. if it effects anything I also have the program coretemp, witch runs with the sidebar cpu program but it is a seperate program all together, I mite try disabling both coretemp and the sidebar and see what it does.
