1.	Solve : Unable to reinstall after reformatting because laptop keeps switching itself off?
Answer» I have a Windows XP laptop, model number 1551/MS2145. A few days AGO I GOT some kind of virus and was advised to reformat the computer. I am now trying to reinstall it but the laptop keeps switching itself off before I can COMPLETE the process. As FAR as I can tell there is no problem with the power supply. The computer has been switching itself off at random for a while so that is not a new problem, but it is now making the laptop completely unusable. I can't afford to spend money unless absolutely necessary, so advice WOULD be appreciated.
