It came with a Windows XP installation and I just couldn't deal with the screen constantly blacking out. Later on I found out they designed a specific key on this netbook for it. Anyways I installed Ubuntu Remix and it fixed it. However a lot of bad things are happening now.

1) If I want a long video or lots of music it will lockup after an hour.

2) Plugging it to an external monitor for more then 1 hour will black out.

3) Constantly running fsck after a lockup and then I lose nodes / fragments and what not :(

I am really not sure what to do, both blacking out and lockups really mess my hard drive up. I have to manually run fsck every time it happens. My gf has the same kind of netboot w/ Remix (not the same model number) and it runs perfectly fine on hers. Except for skype eating up all her CPU.
