Do you have much experience with HW?

Would you be willing and confident enough to pull it apart and clean it? Just verifying laptop or desktop?

 

yes i can take my desktop comp apart but this is my laptop comp not taken this apart b4

 

Well I definitely wouldn't recommend pulling it apart then, get a friend experienced in the matter to do it, pulling a laptop apart is a very tricky process and very easy to muck up. Trust me ... oh if I had a dollar for every person that said ... hey Drizzles, I tried to pull my laptop apart and clean it ... I thought I put it back together but its not doing anything ... what do I do

Get an experienced friend to clean it thoroughly and check the fans are spinning and working properly. Then when you get it back, check your HDD for errors. Go to CMD, type chkdsk /r it will ask you to restart, press y. Have you checked your Event Viewer for chkdsk reports before?? Also what OS, Vista or XP?

 

oh sorry the laptop is vista . i would like to thankyou very much for all your help your a star xx

 

Ok well after doing the chkdsk do a right click on My Computer, select Manage, select Event Viewer, and down the bottom, select Application, order by date and find the latest entry called wininit. In the bottom section you will find the results, post them here. But definitely get it cleaned first.

 

update to my laptop as u suggested i took it to someone who knows about taking a laptop apart" my local market" in my home town and left it with him it took a week and a small sum of £45 to put it right i am very pleased with the time and effort everyone took to help me on this problem tytyty

 

Not a problem mate. :major
