My Shutdown Problem Solved.

 At last my constant shutdown problems have been solved, Thanks to Euro-Dell Support.

My laptop has been constantly shutting .down every time I  tried to copy CD's or tried to play any Games.

Now all is FIXED.

All I needed was a Flash BIOS Update.

Have a blank Floppy disk handy & go to.

This takes you direct to download site follow instructions.

I truly hope you have the same success I've had.  

Thanks to Euro Dell Support

    This BIOS update has been available for download even in DELL US support webpage for a long time. If you login to your homepage  and click downloads and choose BIOS in the Operating System it takes u to this download. As of matter of fact, I think the shutdown problem has not been solved for many other customers who have this BIOS update done.

    I don't not understand exactly what abilities a BIOS update would have, but if it has really solved your overheating problem are you sure that the update didn't slow your computer down to keep the heat down or turn off the overheat shutdown feature which could lead to some type of meltdown?  I am someone who knows realitivly little about computers so please tell me if these options aren't really possible and everyone should do the update

    I have just installed the new bios and my smartstep is still running very hot (burns my leg if I use it as a laptop) There has to be some better way of fixing this problem
