Have you considered
http://www.ubuntu.com/
quote from the site

OS - windows vista home basic
RAM - a crappy 512 Mb
i checked if it was overloading (i take it you are talking about RAM overload)
i dont want to change OS, ive messed with my laptop too much.

and my laptop id fine now, but im still curious what happened.

Well, I dont know, it just restarts? What do you do when it restarts? Like what did you do before it happened?

i didnt do a thing, i was just doing my normal thing on the internet, and it turned off.

I dont know... then. Maybe your batrys dead? If your running it off a plug, maybe the plug dies?

naah its not that, becuase when i was able to turn it on for a bit, i could see the symbol down the bottom for the cable is plugged in, and when i took the cable out, it came up as full battery.

well. I am sorry I cant help you then You should take it to were you bought it, and see what thay can do. Maybe you have friends who are computer people? idk

its fine anyway, its fixed, as i said:

oh and i just remembered that there was a really loud noise when the fan went at first, so i think something was jammed in the fan, so it must have been overheating.

It sounds like it was either overheating or you have a problem with your RAM. Since it seems to be fine now, I'd guess the former. I'm no expert, though.
