Fujitsu S7010D problems

[spud]

I have same problem with 2 identical notebooks(my daughters).
First one developed a fualt 1 month ago in that it keep hanging after boot
up
and sometimes refused to boot.I checked the HDD and found bad sectors so
replaced it but it kept shutting down when I input regional settings on
loading XP.Finally got xp loaded but still hangs and shuts down if I press
palm rest or move it.
Second fujitsu displaying similar behaviour yesterday.Faulty touchpad,ram or
just MB gone bad.Any ideas'.These were both second user so dont want to
spent a lot of money on them.Thanks.
Part 2.
Tried some old ram I had and thought I solved it but alas..... Going to buy
some new ram today.Thanks.

Installed the new ram and it booted ok but shut down as soon as I moved
it(black screen).
Restarted and I can hear fan running but still blackscreen.After 3 more
attempts it restarts it boots into windows.
Any ideas?Thanks.

I'm no expert, but it sounds to me like your motherboard is on the way out.
