look on the back, by your power plug. there should be a little (usually red) switch, and it should say 110 volts (or is it 115? i'm sorry, i can't read the thing on my computer because it is partially covered. oh well, it's 1-1-something!) anyhow, sometimes this switch gets flipped to 200-something (220/240?) this voltage can cause odd behaviour and also damage your computer (be careful, data loss is possible!!!) if it is switched to the wrong voltage. the 110 is for US use (i am assuming youa re in the US) so make sure it's set to that. good luck! =D
