Message: i just got an Eee PC linux laptop for my birthday yesterday. I read the directions carefully before using it and followed the guide step by step. it was working great for all of a couple hours. it was a little slow so i figured i should let it cool down, so (with the charger still connected) i shut it down. when i tried to reboot it.. the screen said "Starting system..." then the screen goes black, then brightens up and keeps flashing, and occasionally, a white x would appear in the middle of the screen. i didnt do anything wrong with it. i was only using it for two hours tops and i was especially careful with it. can anybody help pleasE?

Since it is new try this maybe. http://www.fixya.com/support/r78281... Others may have better solutions, also keep looking. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
