Pls Help! Whenever i plug my power cord to my system, the CPU usage increases to 90-100% which makes the system slow down. As soon as the power cord is unplugged the CPU usage drops and the system returns to normal. What could be the cause of these? Pls Reply |

Hi guys! My laptop (vista os) keeps popping up with a blue screen saying the computer needs to be restarted. It's happening more and more frequently now. What causes it and how can I resolve it? Thanks! |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here For Free Advice. by denzel2009: 11:13pm On Dec 08, 2009 |
tegasgirl: Thats called BSOD(Blue Screen Of Death). The hard drive is about/already dead. Hope you backed up your files. |

Ok peeps, the easy killer of laptops is using it or placing it on your bed or sofa while using it for a long time. OVERHEATING causes most of the system failures! |

You can download this http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ then go to registry and click scan for issues Afterwards, click fix issues. It shd solve conflicting issues causing BSOD. If this doesnt work, you might have to re-install your OS. Always back up your files. Goodluck |

@Swithmax Navigate to the Control Panel in Windows XP by left-clicking on Start, followed by Settings and then choosing Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, open System. Note: In Microsoft Windows XP, depending on how your operating system is setup, you may not see the System icon. To correct this, click on the link on the left-hand side of the Control Panel window that says Switch to Classic View. In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab. Locate the Startup and Recovery area and click on the Settings button. In the Startup and Recovery window, locate and uncheck the check box next to Automatically restart. Click OK in the Startup and Recovery window. Click OK in the System Properties window. From now on, when a problem causes a BSOD or another major error that halts the system, the PC will not automatically reboot. Rebooting manually will be necessary can you please check no damages to the usb port and charger please after the above turn if off please make sure is running through mains back on then keep pressing f2 bios looks like a blue screen if restart there then is a hardware problem if doesnt then you have a software problem which need troubleshooting Could you please let me know how you get on, as this re-enforce what i already knew and to learn more in becoming a better tec. Good luck and thanks for enquiring. |
