You'll need a windows 8 bootable cd

1.Insert it in the cd drive and restart the system.
2. Boot the system from cd, try f2,f10 or f8 or f11
3.Follow the installation prompts
4. On getting to where you'll be asked to choose partition: just select the partition your windows 7 is currently installed and install the windows 8
5. Follow the installation prompts to end
6. The former windows files would be moved to a windows.old folder in your drive c, from there you can copy back your files to the newly installed windows 8

Your display panel is having fault probably the onboard graphics chipset or card.

Try connecting the system to a projector through vga or to an hd device through hdmi, if it displays in the same like the laptop then your onboard graphics card is bad.

You'll probably have to change your motherboard.

1. Press "win key" + "r"
2. type "msconfig"
3. Press "enter"
4. Navigate to "startup" tab
5. Look for command window and uncheck it

That occured because of the downgrading you did.

Make sure what you downgraded to has the same processor architecture requirement as the one of the os that came with the laptop.

If its 64 bit os that came with the laptop, make sure is 64 bit os you always install and the same thing for 32bit os.

I could not get the boot cd so I am installing it directly from my system (someone copied the file to my system through flash drive)

I tried the above and on getting to "startup" tab, the was no command window.

What i mean by my earlier post was that, anytime my PC boot to windows, the windows goes dim after sometime and displays this messege "Net command" whiles giving me the option to select YES or NO. On selection of yes, the windows becomes bright again and i can use my system.
It is like Microsoft windows is asking me permission to run "Net Command" on my computer. This wasn't the case before last year.

My of late also slows down and heat up easily.

Thanks for your responses

so what do i do now?

Babysho:

Just follow what i recommended

you'll probably have to reinstall the right windows architecture

epaulo:

That's not the best.

find and download "windows usb tool"

use the tool to burn the windows 7 from your system into a flash drive

then use the flash drive as the bootable device.

Click on Start-Run, type: msconfig, then click on OK. When the System Configuration Tool loads, click on the "Startup" tab, then see if " c:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" is listed there.. If so, UNCHECK the box next to it, click on "Apply", then restart the machine. Upon restart place a CHECK mark in the box to NOT run System Configuration Tool at startup..

Or you could simply open the registry editor and check for the listing at either the locations below. If so, delete the line indicating such:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

or

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Hope this helps.

i install a new OS which is window 7 starter. i then try install mozilla,but it went keep on crashing,but internet explorer works perfectly ok
please what is the problem and the solution ?

Your motherboard might be failing

But before jumping into that conclusion
Test another ram
Test another hard disk
If possible test another processor

But its likely ram or hard disk issue.

Discharge it to 3 percent and recharge it,

What is the make and model of the system?

Remove the processor and reapply the thermal paste on it spreading it over the processor top

Reset the bios (look for a small sized lithium ion battery, remove it for like 5 mins and then replace it)

Generally dust the system using a dry brush or blower

Are you sure the ram you tested it with is ok? If not try another ram and clean or dust the ram port.

gememerald:


Your motherboard is probably failing.

While at that, try these steps
1. Test another RAM
2. Cleanup the internals of the system
3. Apply a new thermal paste to the contact between the heat sink and processor

Give me FEEDBACK.

Gave it to a technician:
And He did 1 above and d problem still persist, then did 2, but the issue now is that the system is heating up...auto shutdown twice while using it..

Gave d nigga d system n he said d system is ok cuz he use ms word without issues but i av to 'uninstall my pes n reinstall'' it that dat's d cause''' sounds crappy...how much is d thermal paste n will that stop d overheating because i cant use a system for word n wmp only...

BTW: How should i go about arresting the technician., cause my dxdiag shows 4096 of ram before i gave him..d last i checked wen i collected it twas showing 2048 of ram

thanks

My laptop TM 2 (tourchsmart 2) screen just go blank when I on it. Prior to that day, the tourch screen had been having issue of not responding to tourch. The screen still remain blank till now. Can you please suggest what to do and if eventually it is a screen problem, where can I get the screen and the idea of the price.

Thanks.

Did he change the os I mean did he install the os again or installed another one

If he did, make sure the one he installed is the same processor architecture (32bit or 64bit) that was there before.

From your enquiry it is likely the touch flex and to change that I'll advise you visit ikeja and price it in shops (not from guys standing on the road) after getting a good deal head over to the building behind slot along medical road, there is a technician there. Negotiate with him to replace it.

But before doing the above try to open and clean up the system lcd assembly if you can, try another ram

Also pres "ctrl" + "alt" + "delete" repeatedly IMMEDIATELY after pressing the power button on the system.

thanks OP, its a HP 6735s. The ram i replaced it with was working perfectly, i had even tested its own ram on another system and it works fine. However, i think I will have to rip it open and do a general dusting though I'm not that comfortable fussing with the bios. Once i did d general cleaning and no improvement, then i may likely need the helping hand of an expert.
