Thread: Laptop troubles

There is something wrong with malaptop!!! I have acquired a max data laptop with windows vista basic.I have had a much more of troubles lately beginning with randomlyre-beginning with no warning then other times the display goes blackand seems as blue text but everything pixelated thus I can read it,then re-beginning.


Now many programs are freezing and Ican not set up programs any ideas... Any tips on clearing mylaptop... I don't care losing all my programs like I can acquire whatI require rear simply...

If you are acquiring a lot of Blue Screen Of Death, then I would generally tell "format the damn thing"... but first, let us view the alternatives... Is the notebook actually hot with any particular parts of the surface?, how long has this been happening?, has this unusual behavior increased above time, or did it only begin one day and remained that way?

Is the notebook actually hot with any particular parts of the surface? Yes at the fan area, how long has this been happening? About 4 Month , has this unusual behavior increased over time, or did it just start one day and stayed that way? Getting worse and worse... Took 2 times to log on just now that is never happened would formatting it fix or not ??

Well, Type answered your question... it would require cleaning, and formatting so may be, since from everything those BSODs, few of the files with the HDD might be discredited...

I cleaned up the fan like the filter was complete oh dust :S oops...To format laptop do I require the vista disc?? Like I do not have it...

Yeah you will require a vista disk and your COA number. From what I have read any OEM vista disk will do work if your COA is OEM Vista. Ne'er did a Vista install so I can not confirm that personally......

It is the Microsoft Vista "Key" number...... COA is certificate of authenticity number. Should be with a reflective "holograph" looking sticker, commonly on the bottom of most laptops. If not it is with your disk, which will produce things also more difficult...

I have a Toshiba satellite laptop model a215 s5822 and I can not detect a windows XP pro driver for my Atheros ar5008 wireless adapter. Could somebody please assist me out of this? Thanks a lot for the back up! you can email me......

Since this thread is not related to the trouble you are having, open up a novel thread, and we will watch what we can do...

Thanks all for your assist, I will acquire it formatted asap and like for the overheating I think its solved my troubles for now..If I have any more troubles I experience where to arrive today.
