I bought a used toshiba satellite P15-S420 that i reformatted with a new copy of windows xp that i bought a year ago and never used. then downloaded the drivers from toshiba's site, and installed sp3 for xp.
the odd problems are when i try to shut it down or restart it through windows it freezes on the final step (after "saving your settings") on "windows is now shutting down". i can shut it down by holding the power button down for five seconds, though. another odd problem is when i do get it shut down, if i don't unplug the ac power cord it will randomly start up on its own. it does get quite hot. i checked, and both fans are working properly. i blew them out with compressed air. idk. anyone have any suggestions?

Most,if not all will also work on Xp as well.

Next time you get ready to shut down,Open the task manager and watch the running processes
to see if you can see what is not shuting down while you click the shut down button.
