    Backups are always good but I don't think it is necessary.

    Ok it seems to have helped - file explorer works much faster, but some programs are still very laggy - like photoshop. And trying to use commands like MSCONFIG takes a long time to load or even type in the search box.

Hi all, I have just upgraded from XP to Win7 with a clean install. After installing all the updates, the only problem I seem to be left with is the computer will suddenly shut off as if turned off at the mains before restarting on its own (Kernel Power - ID 41 problem). This happens randomly,...
