    Being you just got it, take it back and exchange it, or get the new p7807u.

    No just take it back to Bestbuy along with the reciept, They will exchange it or refund you if they dont have anymore in stock. Good luck to you.

    thanks. ive tried shuting off and it works... like when i try 10 times, about 2 or 3 times it shuts down. i think whenever i play online game it will restart instead of shut down. so if i bring it to bestbuy and will they still exchange it even if it works?

    Yes because it is not 100% functioning properly. I work for Geek Squads at home tech support so I know the policies.. Thank you.
