Puter probs
 

Just to let you guys know, i'm having puter problems.....

Damn thing keeps freezing &/or restarting, and refuses to wake up out of hibernation (gotta turn off at switch)

I'm about ready to piff the damn thing! It would already be gone, but i cant afford to buy a newie at this stage!

Shit shit shit

Anyway, i'll be be off and on until we can either fix it or replace it.

Orli I am somewhat of a computer tech can you get to a friends computer and describe the problem more fully PM if necessary

If you end up replacing it and want something that works and is a bit more powerful than what you generally get at a store, go here . It's where I bought my laptop and I'm happy as can be with it. Plus it doesn't have all the added crap that new computers come with. Like the internet specials and what not.

She's probably just trying to load all the software into the wrong side of the computer. :nod:





:car:

Harsh PF.

I agree oldfart very harsh pf. She isn't that backwards PF I suppose it depends on the position she finds herself in though........ROFL.

Anyway enough of that for now, there is a program that you can use that may help. Well it helped me. By the sounds of it, you may have a virus Sharn that your current antivirus can't find. I had the same issue with mine and now I have one of the better antivirus programs running. You may already have it if not its called AVG free antivirus. You should be able to run a search for it as it is free. If not here is a link that should help.

Hope that helps.

Just make sure you click on the left one where it says download now. The other is the premium version that of course includes other additional software.

themi01 ~ I can use my puter, its just a pain *L* It is having intermittent problems.

1. Has gotten very noisy (sounds like hard drive or fan??)
2. Shuts down at times, with absolutely no warning, no error messages, nothing!
3. Freezes at times, with no warning (eg: slow down), no error messages, nothing!
4. Sound disappears, and comes back eventually, again no warning etc
5. Goes into power saver (hibernation) and refuses to come out of it! Puter needs to be turned off at switch and restarted.

Now we replaced the DVD drive, seems to have stopped the freezing and shutting down problem.

Still will NOT come out of hibernation, so i have to shut down after each time i use it

Not a virus i'm sure, i run upto date virus protection and have scanned and scanned.

I think its either a stuffed hard drive, or there is a software conflict going on!

PF~ its YOU who uses the wrong side!! *pokes tongue*

It sounds like a power-supply problem I had in an 8088 back in 42BC.

I don't see how replacing the dvd drive would solve the shutting down problem. It could be overheating because the fan is going out, that would explain the freezing and slow downs. No clue about the hibernation thing. As for the sound card, that could just have a bad connection or be on the way out. I've had a similar problem in the past.

I agree with OF sounds like the power supply on its way out

Oh, sorry, was I not supposed to be munching your hard drive, Orli?

Wow...sounds like my HP dv9408nr......it did all of the above.
I called HP for support because my model had known issues and the warranties were extended.
So, after calling HP 6 times and getting run through the ineffective flow charts that the Indian Support Reps use...I was finally granted permission to mail my Laptop back to HP.

They replaced my system board,keyboard,Broadcom Card and my DVD player free of charge. Perhaps there are known issues with your puter????
Well good luck....and if ya need any help.....call me...I've become quite fluent in Indian :)
