Magically

I believe this issue has been resolved. The screws securing the CPU Chip down were loose. I think this is what caused the shut downs to happen

Might just re-partion the hard drive. Yay or nay?

Have had it idle next to me the whole night without any crashes....

Im not saying it's not the power button either It just seems more logical for it to be something else from my past experiences with this machine. I am running it on power only, the battery has long been dead It's a dell studio 14z

Thank you for the reply @QueenDemetria I am sure it's not overheating ;l Power button wise... it never used to have this issue when I put it away when I got a new laptop and it was no longer needed. Later I than took it out of storage and took the back off to check for dust and such in fans and thats when it started having the issue

I am having a little bit of trouble, I have an old Dell Studio here which currently has Windows 7 installed on it. No one uses it and it was just lying around so I decided to try and install Ubuntu on it. How ever when turning on the laptop and booting it into Windows 7 I found that it just turns off randomly around the log in screen. I thought it wouldn't really matter so I put Ubuntu on a flash drive, went into the BIOS boot menu and selected it in order to install it. I got into the Ubuntu loading screen and the laptop turns off as well. It can't be overheating since it's cool and I cleared all the dust out of it. Anyone know why it could be doing this? Updates: So I figured it could be an issue with the hard-drive. Since I could go into BIOS but not into windows. I took the hard drive completely out and launched it. Still the same issue. I put the hard-drive back in and scanned it, I forgot what the process was called. Now the laptop stayed on a lot longer. I thought it was fixed, so I went ahead and tried to install Ubuntu again. I got into the progress nearly till completion when the laptop shut off again. I am close to giving up and am not sure what to do. I also tried running a memtest and it just turns off. This was after installing Ubuntu since it gave me an option at the start. Update: If I turn the laptop on now I can launch into Ubuntu, I can log in and reach the desktop. HOWEVER I can only leave it idle(so far I have left it idle for about an hour and no crashes yet) and do some basic tasks such as change desktop background and launch Firefox (if I keep it open to long or open a few pages the machine turns off). I am starting to think that a piece of unknown hardware causes the machine to crash when it is utilized. Current suggestions from people on other forums etc: Re-partion the hard-drive and re-install Ubuntu. Thanks so much to who ever helps me fix it, would be pretty cool to have this laptop running Ubuntu for family use.

I decided to throw out the responsiveness till the end, I am going to design the website for my screen-size and focus on the responsive side of things at the end

What other HTML & CSS do you need to see specifically? And changing font to font-family didn't work It's weird since I had it working but than I moved my file into a css folder in my directory and it stopped working

Hey, So I am trying to make my portfolio website responsive for different screen resolutions. I am using media queries but they are not over-riding the native styles. I believe my syntax is correct but I will share it with you guys to see if I have done anything wrong. <link href="css/responsiveIndex.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> This links to my stylesheet. I am currently testing for a with a resolution of 1680 x 1050 which has the following media query @media only screen and (min-width : 1680px) { .cont_1_text { font:Helvetica, Sans-serif; font-size: 120px; color: #ffffff; } .cont_1_text2 { font: Helvetica, Sans-serif; font-size: 50px; color: #ffffff; }} All it needs is for the text to be scaled down a bit. Thanks in advance to who ever can help me fix this issue.

Issue has been resolved, I moved the scrollbar onto the whole page as in onto the container which looks better and works fine.

Hello, second post Ok, so I am finally working on a portfolio for my web development and photography, I have the first page done [un-responsive, will work on that at the end] and I am now working on the second page. The second page will contain the information about my web development, I will have a small paragraph and than my work underneath, how ever it will need a scroll bar to be viewed fully. Now I know how to add a scrollbar etc but when I do I find that my div re-sizes, Free hugs and kisses to who ever helps me fix this, I have tried setting a min-width and min-height and the div is already positioned absolute. Thanks!
