Ganepark32 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Ok, so in the last 2 weeks my laptop has been working very strangely. It's crashed, as in the whole laptop, 3 times having to run a scan of the C drive on all occasions for consistency, Firefox constantly crashes (even though it's up to date) and my built in wireless disconnects from the wireless network in my house for a couple of minutes, sometimes on several occasions, each day and then comes back on even though the connection is always there and it's not turned off. I've ran scans, at least the scans I know about, and haven't found anything such as spyware, malware, etc. that could be causing it and it's not being used for anything that would cause it to crash (generally being used for internet and work). So my question is, if anyone can help, is my laptop on the way out from the sounds of it? It's barely a year old but I don't know about warranty and whether it's still under it as my father purchased it for me but if anyone knows of anything that I could do (perhaps there's some form of scan I can setup) or whether it sounds like I should just get a new laptop then it'd be helpful. As it is, I'm backing up all my important files incase it crashes big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Doesnt sound like a virus It's detecting errors in the hdd when you boot? Have you tried running a checkdisk through your OS? Sounds like it could either be a corruption in the OS or the HDD is dying a death. Have you knocked it recently? Made any hardware or software changes?

Ten10 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Do you think you can tell us your OS? Also can you check your event viewer within administrative tools and look for any warning that can identify what might be causing the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
