Okay, who out there knows Windows? Because I need your help.

Liz's laptop keeps shutting down - something about a "System Failure" - and restarting, only to shut down and restart again.

For the record:

    BenQ Joybook 5100
    July 2004
    Pentium M 1.5 GHz
    RAM 512 MB
    40 GB HD
    Windows XP Home

The other day, when the thing was still working, I installed iTunes 8 and then XP Service Pac 3. Sometime after that, when I was trying to set a password for the new linksys wireless router, is when all hell broke loose.

Actually last night during the Dodgers/Phillies game it came back to life, so I got Norton doing a full file scan, and 27 minutes and 30,000 files in the System Failure hit again.

If anyone has any ideas I'd be very appreciative ...
