Please Gurus in the house help me, my laptop (Dell inspirion 15) just hangs up and restart, sometimes it makes a wierd sound while hanging and it brings some message when rebooting. It does this like 7-15 times daily I'm really confused

Hi, my system is hanging and I can't turn it off cos it's not responding.. Lately I've been getting notifs that window explorer is not responding and I've been ignoring it... Could that be the cause of the problem and what is the solution ... Udemzyudex, Razak5 |

harriet412: There is a possibility that there is virus on your system, first how many GB RAM is installed and what's the remaining hdd size? You can pull out the ba3 and insert it back. |

Elcapo: Does your laptop switch off by itself or do you switch it off by using the power button? I'll Advice you do a system restore to previous date it was working fine, the wierd sound could possibly be from your hard drive or fan you just have to pay attention to it to see where it is coming from. If it's from the hdd, I wouldn't want to write it off yet so just do a system restore or you reload the operating system. 1 Like |

harriet412: Ops, sometimes a bad keyboard will make your laptop to hang, have you noticed any sign of keyboard not working properly? Hold down the power button till it goes off by itself and power it on then press f2 to system diagnostic to see if there is any hardware failure. |

udemzyudex: My keyboard works perfectly fine.. Wait o, if there's any hardware failure, hope that one will not be an issue |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by udemzyudex(m): 10:38am On Sep 01, 2018 |
harriet412: Depends, test to see if hdd is in good condition. If yes, I'll suggest you reload the operating system. |

udemzyudex:i have done that about a gazillion times.. Still nothing |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by udemzyudex(m): 11:11am On Sep 01, 2018 |
vinxce: With same version? |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by vinxce(m): 11:15am On Sep 01, 2018 |
udemzyudex:i have tried windows 10 and 8.1 but i haven't tried windows 7 |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Elcapo(m): 11:44am On Sep 01, 2018 |
udemzyudex: Thanks for the response, I sometimes had to press the power button to shut it down, but most times it restarts by itself after the percent countdown completes. About the sound, I think it's not the fan cos even when earpiece is plugged in, I hear the sounds through it. And finally, I've never backed it up before, how do I restore the system? Does it mean I'm gonna loose all my files??! |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by udemzyudex(m): 11:46am On Sep 01, 2018 |
vinxce: Try that one and what's the model of your laptop? Before that, try and install in save mode. |

vinxce: When last did you update your BIOS? Hi. First of all, trying all driver pack isn't the way out of this problem. Put the following into consideration: 1. Dell Inspironn n5110 is designed to work well with windows 7. I've not seen a system that's this selective in terms of OS. So if you have win 10 installed, you should consider win8 or win 7. 2. Dell Inspiron n5110 ,core it version(which is yours ) uses a NVIDIA GeForce. So , chances are in the process of...well..."trying everything" nothing was actually sitted well so nothing worked!! 3. In view of No. 2 above, you must uninstall every graphics driver you ever installed. This will mean performing a system restore. 4. Head over to drp.su/en. Once on that site, you're to download a tiny program that'll look into your entire system for missing drivers. Once you run the program, select expert mode. So you choose only he NVIDIA driver. 5. Now that there are no graphics drivers installed , it's time to check the BIOS. Once you're in the BIOS, look out for stuff like "graphics memory" or a similar variant. The graphics may have been switched. Although this is highly unlikely. |

I don't know why its not uploading this is what the computer says troubleshooting was unable to automatically fix all the issues found. problems found : 1 wireless capability is turned off 2 A network cable is not properly plugged in or maybe broken > explore additional options > close the troubleshooter. view detailed information close |

generationz: Shows your WiFi is off you need to turn it on by clicking on the WiFi button on your keyboard or check if the button is close to the power switch. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by udemzyudex(m): 7:07pm On Sep 01, 2018 |
generationz: Yeah, locate the wireless (WiFi key in your keyboard) If it doesn't turn on after pressing it, hold down the fn key on the keyboard + WiFi key to turn it on. |
