Does it boot properly after the formatting? Then how long do you use the PC before it crashes?

The above answers will aid further assistance.

Reinstall the OS, then make sure you delete all volumes including Windows reserved volume of 500MB. Create New Volume and format it before installing Windows. After the installation, check the drivers that installed and use compatible drivers downloaded from manufacturers website to install. Do not use DriverPack or softwares that install unverifiable drivers.

Also turn off Windows update from regedit because it’s likely you are using KMS tool that cause system crash after WindowsAutoUpdate. If the above issue does not work, kindly revert back for further assistance.
The highest capacity I've ever used is 10Gig out the 500gig before it crashed. I thought it was virus but I was very careful this time around. So I'm thinking either the RAM is bad or the HDD. I'm working with about 6 systems but only this one is giving me problem

Might be that the external dvd is not working fine, is your laptop detecting the external dvd drive?

Just post any problems you are having with your pc here. The more software related, the better. smiley

If you're having virus, worms or any other malware problems. Try scanning your PC with RoboSAM first.

Hello Gurus,

My laptop just suddenly stopped coming on. The power light shows when you put it on but it doesn't boot at all on screen. What could be the problem? Hope it's not the motherboard?

Will I be able to retrieve my information?

The laptop is an Acer Aspire E1-531-4818

Also before this issue, the laptop used to be slow despite being 8gb ram. It could pass for a 4/2gb ram laptop and would sometimes hang.


Please advise.

Please advise.

Connect the laptop while it’s ON to your TV using a HDMI cable to know if it will come up. If it does will need to replace the screen.

If it doesn’t come up try the following:
- Unplug the laptop charger from source
- Press and hold down the power button until the power light goes off
- Remove the laptop battery
- Press and hold the power button for 15 secs or more
- Plug back the laptop charger to connect it to source without putting the battery
- Power the laptop and wait to see if the screen comes up


If it does, allow it to boot and then shutdown properly before putting back the battery.

To fix this error, use the following steps:
Press Enter to clear the message and allow the system to boot to the Windows Desktop.
Shut down the computer, and then inspect and clean the exterior vents to remove dust buildup by blowing air through the vent openings. Dust can accumulate inside the vent openings and around internal cooling components, preventing the removal of heat.

After you remove the dust, turn on the computer. If the error message persists, continue with these steps.

Perform a hard reset. Performing a hard reset can reset recorded thermal values in memory and enable you to use the computer again, even if only for a short time to access and save any important files before service.

In some cases, updating the BIOS might help prevent this error from occurring.

Have the computer serviced to clean internal components and replace the system fan if necessary. Make sure to address the following items when servicing:
Thoroughly remove dust from all internal cooling components.
Make sure wires from the system and CPU fans are connected securely to the motherboard.
Confirm the system fan blades spin correctly, and the fan is not producing loud noises. If not working correctly, replace the system fan.
Remove old thermal compound from integrated circuits and heat sinks and replace with new thermal compound.

The OS is corrupt, however the PC requires backup, formatting and restoring of files also know as re installation of Operating System it came with. If you require further assistance, kindly specify your location to see if there’s someone here that can assist.

Depending on the model, using lazesoft can help recover your windows password, you just have to create a Bootable USB with the software and another method is reinstalling the operating system, you'll lose all your apps but all files(pictures, documents, movies etc will be save)

If you get a laptop technician just tell him/her you want to reinstall the operating system and not format(that's if you want everything to be wipe off) your files will backup on widows.old folder he can retrieve it back.
