I upgraded a dell laptop 830 from windows xp to windows 7 pro. I have the newest version of google browser and also windows ie. When I use either one of the browsers the computer frequently clicks and then abruptly shuts down. I installed a 3rd browser and it does the same thing with it. It never ever did this using windows XP so I am pretty sure that it has to do with something unique to windows 7 pro or the updates I had to do once I installed it. I have long ago updated my HP desk top to windows 7 ultimate and it has never had this abrupt shutdown problem which also makes me think that it is something unique to windows 7 pro.

I can sometimes be online as little as a minute or even an hour or more but at some point it will abruptly shut down when using any of the three browsers. It definitely is not a heating problem and I have the power plan set to never shut down on battery and on plugged in. I have done a google search but have yet to find a solution.

If anyone here has a solution or an idea I would appreaciate it. I have been working the problem for a couple of days now with no luck.
