@ skywalker.....Yes u are right on point wit d diagnosis....at tymes it starts up quite normal but after a while the bluescreen appears n it attempts to restart....I have been trying to reformat the lappy and install XP on it but it does'nt recognise the hard disk drive even with the new one.....anyway will still keep you posted......thanks.
If you are sure the hard drive is good..then the problem you are having is a SATA NATIVE MODE..meaning,in your BIOS,check if the sata native mode is on.switch to OFF.similarly,you may see AHCI change it to IDE and save..try reloading XP..
2nd method..find a SLIP-STREAMED xp cd..(ie using NLite to integrate sata drivers into XP cd)its technical.

You may have downloaded an ADWARE.also you don't just delete an installed program;u un-unstall it.you must have partially un-installed it and for adwares triggering the links to your mozilla.an ex is when you install IDM,automatically it opens up ur browser to their homepage or when u unistall,for some programs,it would redirect to homepage asking you comments for uninstalling.
Solution-reinstall d program then properly uninstall it from add/remove programs or use an UNINSTALLER.if symptoms persists,scan ur system

juliebest: My new laptop hp g60 notebook pc is not connecting to the internet. I bought a fairly used one. I don't know if its because the network is slow or something with the system. Network is workking in other computers. Help.
The first diagnosis is to check whether the network driver is installed.there are a lot of wannabes who wld only reformat and not reload or not reload the drivers properly..goto DEVICE MANAGER and check under network if the drivers were installed..call me 08061679732 for technical assist

I won't advice you to repair the charger. Buying a new one is better.
Although I have some1 that repairs mine but not worth d stress..instead make sure you buy original not china charger..most of u go for CHEAPER instead of BETTER cuz of price..besides,for the 1k charger u bought comes with a very light fake AC cable that becomes very hot and burns wen u use it..original tokunbo ac cable alone is 500(it a thick cable that is even FUSED)..so wen you get a surge,it stops at d fuse..
Call me for original tokunbo charger on 08061679732

is the CD-rom icon still showing when you click on "my computer"?
Also check to see if the driver for the CD rom has not been uninstalled

i have a feeling you might have a technician look at it for u as your cd-rom maybe faulty

Could be a number of things like your HD is starting to go bad in which case you should start backing up all your important data or could be that you HD is really fragmented in which case you should run the defragmenter.
Also you might need to run anti virus or anti malware because it could also be one of those bothering the computer.
Might also be the antivirus you have on the computer like e.g Norton 360 with all the features turned on. This uses a lot of resources

im sure there are other things it could be but these are things you should be able to address your self.

one this you could try is using a qtip with rubbing alchol to gently clean the lens or better yet go to the device manager and uninstall and reinstall the driver. if that doesn't work you should get a new disc drive. they are cheap

malwarebytes is not an anti virus, it is in fact an anti malware. even if you install malwarebytes and run it, you will still need the antivirus you have on your computer.

using malwarebyte with avast on your computer shouldn't cause any issues. as a matter of fact you should use the malwarebytes in safe mode with networking. it has to update for it to be effective.
