Random Laptop shutdown solved

I was experiencing random shutdowns of my laptop (Lenovo 3000 N 100). I observed that it occurred when the CPU was too hot. I concluded that it was due to overheating. However, I was not using any application that chould overheat the laptop. I played with few computer settings and this issue was fixed when I changed the power plan to "Power Saver" or "Default". This issue occurred when the power plan was on "High Performance".

Free Disk space lost in Vista

I have a Lenevo 3000 N100 laptop with a 110 GB hard disk. I have a lot of data and the free space went below 10GB. Yesterday, for some unknown reason my explorer showed free disk space as 5GB. I didn't know what was wrong. I took the following measures to solve this issue:
1.)Firstly, I thought it was some malware and scanned the disk with AVG antivius and anti-spyware, Calmwin antivirus and Spybot. They did not detect anything.
2.)Then I used WinDirStat to see what was eating up my space but I was not able to make out what was going on.
3.)Checked if the system restore is on. It was not.
4.)Checked if Lenovo rescue and recovery had any backups. There were no backups.
5.)Finally, I decided to defragment my hard disk with Diskkeeper.
After the defragmentation, I checked the free disk space in the explorer and I had recovered more than 5GB!!!!!

Defragment you disk regularly as it can save valuable disk space from getting wasted. And, yes backup regularly.

Wisdom Pearls

~ Every saint has a past.Every sinner has a future.

~ When all else is lost, the future still remains.

~ People are not afraid of how bad you are,they are afraid of how good you are.

~ Down on my knees...I learnt how to stand...

~ All men die. Few men ever really live.

~ You never win the silver,You only lose the Gold.

~ Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! What a ride"!!!

~ Many of us have things backwards. We believe that we have to wait to create the circumstances we want in life and rack up a lot of successes so we can finally relax. Actually, it works the other way around. We should leave where we are and move to where we ultimately dream of living, whether it's Boulder, Santa Monica, Chicago, or Tibet. Then once we're there, we'll figure out ways to fashion a livelihood that will enable us to survive and to prosper from there. Paradise shouldn't wait, and happiness shouldn't either.
