    Computer: Intel (R) Pentium (R) Dual cpu

    Ever since I replaced the fan (with heat sink) the computer has randomly shut down and then restarted, at first during streaming, and now, will shut down and restart anytime. I tried to replace the graphics card to no avail. *Confused Why does my Windows XP computer take so much time to shut down? :confused:*Mad Why does my Windows XP computer take so much time to shut down? :mad:

    One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

    Why does my Windows XP computer take so much time to shut down?

    Microsoft Windows XP Downgrade Program Extended by Another Six Months

    Alot of company still happy with their old computers with XP on it. They saw no reasons to upgrade to Vista. Upgrading their system to Vista mean new hardwares or even branch new computers for a whole company, but what will Vista gives them? XP already have everything they need.

    Vista is just a stepping stone for Windows 7, just like Windows Me was a stepping stone for Windows XP.

    I'm not dislike Vista, I would stick with XP, but I want to learn new things about new OS. It's time to move on, and adopt new things.
