Sudden Shut down only at Windows Seven
Hello people
I have installed windows Seven along with Ubuntu 9.10 awhile ago.
I had encountred several sudden shut downs during the format process while installing XP that's why i went for Seven. Whenever I'm using Win7 the computer shuts down by itself at random times. It's like i pull the power supply cables. When I want to restart it, it fails. It only works after few attempts.
I have confronted the same problem with Windows XP before, but that was only when I run Photoshop/Illustrator CS3 along with other softwares (like Messenger, media player/vlc, or anything else). But it wasn't with the same rate as with Seven. But with Ubuntu, i can spend like 12 hours without any sudden shut down at all ! (i only had it once while trying to install Windows 98 on VirtualBox !).
I have three partitions, one for Win7, one for Ubuntu, and one shared.
I tried to go back to XP but it kept shutting down while formatting.
Some people told me that it is because of Ubuntu 9.10 but I fail to comprehend why because Windows (XP or Seven) cannot recognize the Linux partition (EXT3 or sth).
I have a pantium 4 3.2Ghz, 1GB RAM (512 X 2), ATI Radeon X1300, 160 HD ( along with the same one, but external).
Any help is appreaciated !
Thank you guys
