Laptop Just Went Off Suddenly?
May 19, 2012My laptop just went off suddenly, as if the battery had just run down, but it was the same after plugging it in and charging it. The screen is off and the only LED lit is the power one.

Suddenly Slow Laptop And Bsod
Aug 10, 2012I have a fairly new laptop that suddenly, for two weeks ago went VERY slow. The start up time has increased from about 1 minute, to about 5-6 minutes. And it is generally slower, and freezing occasionally (The ones that freeze the most are programs like flash player (while browsing) and "explorer".) Although it gets faster after a while, it hasn't been as fast as when I got it. And not only that, for about 4 days ago when I was about to go to bed, I turned the "sleep mode" on. (It takes about an hour or so for it to run faster, and not freeze as much.) Anyways, it usually takes some time for the sleep mode to turn on, because of the laptop being as slow as it is. So I had fallen to sleep before the bsod had occurred

View 1 Replies View RelatedCpu Usage Suddenly High And Laptop Running Very Hot
Mar 19, 2012I use my laptop to dj with 4 nights a week so as you can imagine it is very important to me and a vital part of my income. a few weeks ago i had an issue where i had somehow picked up a virus and it forced me to do a complete format and reinstall of windows. however since then it has been running very hot and cpu usage has gone through the roof.
all drivers and bios are up-to date and the laptop is fully optimised for audio processing.
the specs are as follows:
hp g62 450sa
i3 2.27ghz
8gb ram
60gb ocz vertex ssd (with os on)
500gb 7200rpm hdd in drive bay (music only)
i have read that another complete reinstall may fix the problem, which i am prepared to do.. however onto the next problem, i left a cd walled in a club last week which had my recovery discs in it, when i went back the next week it was gone!!
how to get around or sort this, or is there anywhere that i can download a copy of the install discs. i have spoken with microsoft and they are willing to re-authorise my product key when i re-install.
Both USB Ports On Laptop Suddenly Stopped Working?
Aug 12, 2011I have an older Dell Inspiron 5100 that's been rock solid since day one. I recently transferred all my music from my PC to my Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex so I could organize my files while I was out of town on business. When I got to my hotel and plugged the Seagate into the USB port the laptop would not recognize it. There's two USB ports, one of the USB ports does nothing at all when I plug the drive in (not even a 'Ding-Dong' sound). The other port at least responds but still not recognized. By "responds" I mean Windows responds with a "Dunn..." sound; not the happy two tone sound of a device actually being recognized and available, just a "Dunn..."I've used this drive before on this laptop on several occasions so I know it's compatible. I also came home and plugged to drive back into the PC to see if the drive itself responds. It does, and all files are there and happy. Also, when plugged into the non-responsive USB slot the light on the drive blinks a couple times, the platters spool up for 15 or so seconds then goes out. When plugged into the other USB slot (the one that goes "Dunn...") the light comes on and stays on and the platters spin untill I unplug the device. But it's still not recognized.

Dec 31, 2011So I have a Dell Inspirion 1545; One day when I turned it on, it started running extremely slow. It took almost 30 minutes just to boot to password screen, I put in the password and almost took another 30 minutes to get to desktop. Well then it started giving me errors like Dell Dock has failed and Windows (Something) had crashed, I got it up long enough to run Malware Bytes, and CCleaner to fix registry errors but nothing. Now I try to turn it on in normal mode and takes about an hour and thirty minutes to get through everything and to the desktop and thats if the icons decide to show. and if I try to get it into safe mode I get Bad_System_config_Info bsod.I dont really know whats going on, it decided that it was gonna shit out on a random day. The computer is out of warranty and Dell doesnt provide support for it anymore.Its basically un-bootable. There are no system restore points aswell, Repair your computer says it fixes everything but it doesnt.

Apr 6, 2012I have 2 laptops - the hard drive for one of them is now suddenly asking me for a password.I never set any password on it
1. I set the BIOS password on one laptop (which has a dual boot)

3. I then installed that backed-up image on the other harddrive using the same machine - and that caused the password....

Aug 3, 2012I'm writing on my desktop laptop at the moment, as I can't stand how slow my laptop is..Well, I was on a holiday for a few weeks. And when I came home, my laptop suddenly went super slow!I have no idea how this could happen, as my laptop is fairly new, and the only thing I have installed to it is games from Steam. ( I got it in March I think?)It takes 10 minutes to start it, and when it's on, it is super slow. And not only that, it laggs allot! (Explorer stopped working etc.)I have disc fragmented several times, as well as used the disc cleanup utility.I have done a system restore, but that didn't work either, as it wasn't any old restore points to recover to.That's basically everything I've done, and it didn't work.
Something worth to mention,- The Internet browsing has become very slow on my laptop as well. (Not on my desktop.)The laptop is getting hot quite often, because there are only one fan in the whole laptop. And I haven't cleaned it a single time after I got it.
Spec:
Asus K53S
CPU - Intel Core i7 2.2 Ghz.
GPU - Nvidia GeForce GT 630M 2GB

View 2 Replies View RelatedLaptop Suddenly Crashed - No Boot Sector On Internal Hard Drive
Jun 3, 2011It's a dell latitude, 1 year old. Laptop suddenly crashed and when the laptop booted it said: "no boot sector on internal hard drive". I tried repairing the boot sector with the windows repair function, but the hard drive is just empty... nothing to repair. Then I tried to boot off a ubuntu live cd. which worked. and showed me an empty hard drive with the_maximum_capacity_of_the_drive_GB of unallocated space.
Since that I reinstalled windows 7 two times, and stopped working after an hour or so. I installed ubuntu, which worked for several days. then i tried windows 7 again (clean install). And then I kept working on the laptop for a couple of hours until the "crash" happened. All the programs stopped working suddenly. When I opened anything I was shown this error: "Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion."
After that everything is lost if I turn the computer off. And I'm back at an empty unformatted hard drive. I changed the sata operation mode in the bios to different options before every installation of windows. I didn't try xp, because I don't have dell-xp cd's . Is the hard drive broken? I guess not because ubuntu works. and windows 7 also, but it just goes away suddenly... Here's a video (shot in portraitmode) of the event... [URL].

Laptop With Windows COA Suddenly Says Windows Isn't Genuine
Dec 29, 2011My mother-in-law gave us her laptop this year for Christmas. It's about a year old, an HP G60, and it worked fine for her before she gave it to us.
Now, seemingly out of nowhere, we're getting messages that windows 7 isn't genuine and that we might be victims of software fraud. There is a COA on the bottom of the laptop and MIL says she never got that message before, so I have no reason to doubt that the software is genuine, but for some reason MS can no longer validate it.
Windows has been re-installed, so that means we've been doing a lot of updating, and the computer was restarted immediately before the problem appeared, but I do not think it was immediately after installing a SP. I have already tried all the fixes here, but none of my settings needed to be changed. Plug and Play was already set to Not Defined, Network Service was already set to allow Full Control and Read, etc. So none of those worked.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUSB 2.0 Suddenly Operating As 1.1
Jul 11, 2012This morning my new computer notified me it had downloaded an update and rebooted. When I plugged in my tablet, the computer notified me that my device was USB 2.0 and and could run faster if I plugged it into a USB 2.0 port. Trouble is, I had used this port many times in the past as a 2.0 port, no problem. I confirmed the slower rate by trying to transfer my podcasts over to the tablet like I normally do.The ports in question are the ones on my front panel. I plugged the tablet into one of the rear ports that are mounted directly on the MB and got 2.0 speed no problem. On a whim, I plugged my wireless mouse/keyboard receiver into one of the front ports. It worked, but would be intermittently choppy. I tried downloading the latest MB drivers from Gigabyte, and that didn't seem to help. I saw that there was a problem similar to this for some win7 users about a year ago that supposedly got fixed. I checked and the fix has already been applied.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSystem Got Slower Suddenly
Apr 2, 2011My system all of a sudden got slower than honey in Dec. to put it nice. When I go to task manage I see "system idle process" usage at 60 - 100%. Looked system idle process up and this is the explanation I got: When opening Windows Task Manager you may notice that the "System Idle Process" is high and be concerned about something using your system resources. When a computer or a processor within the computer is idle it will have a high System Idle process in the CPU column, often in the 50's to 90's. This is completely normal for a computer as it waits for something to do. But this has been going on forever I would guess, why is it slowing my system down now and it never did before? it's so slow Xmarks normal take 15 to 30 sec. to sync. I stopped it at 2 min. As I am typing this ...I type 5 to 10 letters and everything freezes for 5 sec. then it fills in and freezes, then 5 sec. later I can type some more.

Oct 20, 2011I have a HP I purchased at a store just over a year ago.I am running Windows 7 64bit. [code] I have some games (Spore, Sid Meier's Railroads) that worked great on this machine after I got it. The machine more then meets the specs. I could play for as long as I want and have no issues. Now I open either game and after about 5-10 minutes it is like the machine is overwhelmed with process. My CPU usage and ram goes up to 100% and everything is slow. When I click on a button to get a menu it takes 3-5 seconds for the menu to come up and then another 3-5 seconds for the mouse to move to the menu so I can select an option. So far I have made sure all my drivers are current, I have cleaned the registry with 2 different cleaners, I have removed all unnecessary programs from starting, I have tracked down process I determined to be non-essential and made sure those don't run, I have tweaked Windows to use less recourse (I should not need to do this now), I have removed unneeded programs, I have defragged, I have cleaned unneeded files, I have run Microsoft malware scanner (forget the name, no problems found), I have run Kaspersky 2011 in a deep scan and a critical area scan (nothing found), I even got one of those Speed Up My PC programs (I know garbage program) because I am so frustrated but that didn't do anything. I don't want to F disk it because I have too much data I need to keep.
