    Hey,

    My laptop has been crashing/shutting down by itself after it's been left on off for a long period of time (2 hours or more). I recently updated my video driver through laptopvideo2go.com. Should I try switching drivers? And if I do, which one would be safe? I have an Asus T5550 (1.83 GHZ), 3 GB RAM, 250GB HD, GeForce 9500m GS Video Card, and Windows Vista.

    Thanks
