Rescue My Laptop by mojeed4(m): 10:53pm On Jan 01, 2015 |
my laptop (toshiba) started misbehaving and not being responsive and when i force shut down it and rebooted it, it tales like forever to display the 'toshiba leading innovation>>> logo' and then it brongs a message that my computer has ran into an error and needs to restart... and it continuied in a cycle.. but today to my suprise, i turned it on and it loaded to the part where i input my password (after long time though) and after inputing the password( though already finished typing the password before a character was displayed, just to emphasize its non responsiveness) it started after battling with the enter key. now finally it loaded the desktop amd the mouse was moving freely...but when i rigjt clicked on the desktop to refresh, omo na war oo... had to wait for like 30mins for it to bring the options and then i refreshed, this one took just like 3mins though... i then tried to open a folder, omo i ate, and sleep before this one even open... plz what is wrong with my laptop?? |

Re: Rescue My Laptop by mojeed4(m): 11:27am On Jan 02, 2015 |
yorex2011: aiit will try that later.... what i also noticed is that after it goes on and hangs for like some couple of hours, it starts to respond normally back... and I thought that it is probably back to normal but when I restarted it, it did the same thing again and after some time it responds normally again... |

the solution for a system restore is sound. but the issue is that it maybe a spyware or virus.. if this is the case then a system restore using the onboard restore software will just be a short term solution cause the virus would infect the restore partition on Ur drive. in this case a disc reformatting and restore would work better.. and when Ur done pls install a good antivirus software if u have none... bit defender, kaspersky and Norton internet security will suffice. cheers |
Re: Rescue My Laptop by mojeed4(m): 10:13pm On Jan 17, 2015 |
joannes7: thanks a lot for the advice, already restored the system with a new windows 8 software, since I dont really have much of files I need there.... and about the antivirus, can you suggest how to use them for free, cause I had norton but the free version expired, and I was asked to subscribe.. |
Re: Rescue My Laptop by Lexusgs430: 10:36pm On Jan 17, 2015 |
mojeed4: Download AVG(trial version) and send a PM for activation till 2018. |
