My Laptop continues to haunt me...

3 years ago I bought an emachines laptop, and I only did it because it was the first mainstream notebook with the athlon 64bit chip. Now I really regret it, because it was built with a weak cooling fan, the PC overheats and shuts off, basically crashes everytime too.

Recently I bought a brand new Gateway desktop with DDR2 ram and a nice NVidia GeForce card and it's served it's purpose, no crashing. Some viruses but I don't blame Gateway. I left the desktop at school and I'm home for the holidays and the best of my arsenal is this emachines laptop. So far, It's crashed while I was playing GTR2 twice and the one time I'm just reading the driving school instructions, it shuts off and suddenly my exe file is all messed up, so goodbye all gold gears and game data, plus all the mods I installed. Okay so I install the whole game again and all the mods, no big deal.

Next day, I'm working on writing a story that I really liked. I wrote it all day and saved step after step CRASH I restart the laptop and check the file, it's one huge line across of whitespace characters, day of writing GONE.

Next day, Today, PC crashes for no reason at all, i'm surfing the web, and it STILL RE-MESSES UP MY GTR2 EXE. WHY THAT FILE??? I SWEAR I WASN'T TOUCHING IT!!!!!
