Re: Dell Inspiron 1545 freezing

Hello, I don't know if I am in the right place but if someone could help me, I'd really appreciate it. I have the Dell Inspiron in the title and after I turn it on, it will run for a few minutes then freeze (like it's thinking) and I am no longer able to do anything. It does work in safe mode but obviously I can't continue there. I don't know if it has a virus but I do have AVG but when I run a full scan, it never completes in regular or safe mode. Does anyone have any ideas as to why I can't use the regular mode for more than a few minutes. Thanks, Debbie

 

Hello and thank for helping me. I tried what you suggested and it seemed to make it work for a couple of minutes longer but then the same thing happened. It froze and the curser just spins so I went back into safe mode and enabled everything again. I even restarted it again, thinking that I may need to do that. Any other suggestions? I really appreciate you taking the time to assist me. I am back in safe mode.

 

Which is you hdd free space ? You may download a live cd like Hiren's BootCD ( which is very useful cd with many tools in it )

It may be easiest to follow Dell's help on this

I would get into safe mode, and save my important documents on a usb stick, or, burn to dvd/cd, if it will do so in safe mode. before going too far. System restore can help, without losing data.
I have to go, but someone else may come to help you
