    Hi, I use an LG LE50 Express laptop. Its a Pentium M 1.7ghz processor with 512MB of Ram and it runs at 533mhz (RAM speed).i recently bought a 512MB of ram to upgrade my laptop to 1 gg Ram. I also recently purchased a universal laptop charger. After installing all these new components, my laptop was working fine. but i noticed that the temperature increased drastically on the left side of my laptop (North-west side and the south-west side where my power is and where i think the processor is). after about 30 min, my system shuts down. the strange thing about this shutting down is that, it shuts down as if i asked it to shut down. it does not just go off. it ends all my programs and shuts down as if i commanded it to. I use a windows XP Pro. Please i need your advise. is it the new memory that is causing my laptop to overheat or what?? is the shutting down as a result of overheating?please i need help

    "I also recently purchased a universal laptop charger."
    They not as universal as they want you to believe.
    Try using the original charger b4 it kills the battery and the pc.
    Not every charger supply same voltage and A/W and if way out of range
    then the internal converter can't compensate.
    If you can run ramtests then the ram module is fine, shouldn't change temperatures.
