few things,
1. are you always on battery power when downloading and installing?
2. Have you checked the power setting for the computer? - computers have two settings one for when plugged in and other for when on battery power you might want to adjust both settings to "never" regarding how long before the computer hibrenates
3. You said google mentioned over heating. Do you usually have your laptop on a bed while using it? or on a soft surface? you might want to swith to a hard surface like a table or a hard cover text book if you have to put it on your bed.
4. You might want to go to the website of the manufacturer because they have forums where you can ask questions for free someone who work for the company might have a better answer than you would find here

best
I tried the power settings adjustment stuff but the status quo remained the same. I forgot to mention that my lappy also hibernate s whenever i`m running a full scan with kaspersky and also when i`m extracting a file(noticed this with pes2010), what`s the way forward now? it can`t be overheating cos the vent isn`t blocked and my lappy is always on the table.

Please i`ll like to know why my laptop hibernates when i`m in the middle of a game or i`m downloading a large file. It`s not like i don`t touch the system when downloading, i do other stuff while downloading but it still hibernates. I googled the problem, thinking i would find the cause/ solution and most i came across attributed to it to overheating but don`t think that is the cause, can anyone in the house help me?

Yes, it is due to overheating. Buy a USB fan for your laptop.

You are yet to install some important graphic drivers for your computer. Installing the suitable graphics/media drivers would solve the problem.

Bros,pls I'm havin probs wit my lapi,its a Dell Inspiron 1545.I tried openin an application(Crazy Browser) using Windows Media Player,all my programs got corupted cos dey're all tryin 2 open using windows player.Pls,I'm confusd,my frnd said It'll need 4mattin,bt I dn't no if dere's an easier way cos d system is new.

First of all, windows media player is only used for opening media files, not applications. Install an antivirus and scan the system firstly.

pls how do i bypass my system password that i have forgotten. Thanks.
what password? the bios password? or a user account password?

for a bios password you will need to remove the battery from the mother board for a few seconds and put it back that removes the bios password
for a user account, you will need to log into your computers administrator account. Meaning you enter username "administrator" and press enter or maybe put in the word"password" as the password.

if you dont remember the password to you administrator account you can start your computer in safe mode and that will allow you to log into your administrator and then you can reset the orginial password to your user account by going to

control panel
user accounts

right click on the username
reset user password

crudeoil is right. when you see the wall paper, do ctrl-alt-del when the task manager opens click file and select "new task" then type explorer.exe and hit enter

if that doesnt work start your computer in safe mode by pressing f8 when you see the logo of your computer choose safe mode with networking then run a virus scan , do a disk clean and do a defrag

well your case seems weird i think you should go to the manufacturers web site and look at the support forums join and ask the question one of the companies techs might be able to give you a better answer

by the way whats the make and model of your computer and do you ever hear the fan when you are using your computer? because downloading big files heats up the computer a lot and if your computer fan is damaged you will need to get something to cool the computer

i doubt that changing your operating system will slow down your connection speed. your connection speed depends on your internet company's bandwidth. if for some reason they reduced the amount of bandwidth coming to your area then your connection will be slow.

your computer might be running slow mayeb because you have lots of programs starting on boot up like for example your anti virus is set to do a scan when ever you boot up your computer or you have lots of non essenciatl services starting at boot up. it could also mean that you picked up a virus.  really it could be anything

first off i dont know the company you mentioned and i didn't really understand what you want because you have the computer in your possession so you can look at it and see whats on it. if you have windows 7 on the computer you can look at devices and printers to see what is on the machine like webcam etc.
