That is the best bet to get rid of Virus. Next time ensure you are more careful with how you handle your device. And put antiVirus

Hi gurus, my computer refuse to booth.

The problem started when my battery got spoit and it. Will just shut down willi nilly even when I still have like 45% battery remaining.

The problem now is it refuses to booth, when I switch it on, it shows ''startup repaire is checking your system for problems''

After some minutes, it'll show ''attempting repairs'' then it"ll go to recovery manager. Whenever I try to restore it to an earlier date, it'll reject it at a point and show error. Though this particular problem stated today. Pls I deeply need ur help as I'm loaded now that I Can't afford ro take it to an engineer.

The laptop is HP630, and I just bought it brand new in February 2012

"bt d e,d,c,3 keys aint workin anymore"

How is it not working. e.g, not responding,
feel lose or the clips is coming off.
If that'e the case take it a near computer
shop and also enquire about the RAM

On this forum look for adetwin give them a
call they may be of help. im not a nigeria
so wouldnt know where you can take it to

if you have not replace the battery

run a hp battery check. use google to find out how
to it on your laptop. make sure charger is connected


What's the system restore error message ?
look below it, y[b]ou'd see show system restore
point older than five days and try selecting
other date[/b]. I'd take it the laptop is not
a dual boot O/S as no other OS apart from
vista or windows 7. restart laptop
keep pressing f10 for bios and ru[/b]n

d[b]iagnostics >hard drive test long test please
dont run the short one


do you have a recovery dvd ?

do you have a recovery dvd ?

I already did a battery chect and it confirmed that my battery is bad. The battery is so worse that it dies after about 5mins of power cut, but that's not my major concern for now.

The error it shows in the restore manager is ''the disk (Dsmiley has errors. And when I ''check the disk for errors'' it tells me the ''device or disk was successfully scanned'' yet it goes back to the error again.

I don't have a recovery DVD.

click start, all programs, accessories, click run
a box will pop up then type in devmgmt.msc press enter
and you'd see lots of yellow signs. about 2 or 4.

this means you need to install the drivers [/b]e.g.,
video/graphics drivers.[b]visit the PC manufacturer website

to download all relevant drivers.make sure you type in your
PC model number to get the correct drivers. installing
incorrect drivers can cause problems


If you PC have no name like dell ,hp, Packard bell, Phillips etc
you'd need a universal driver CD to install all missing drivers.
you would also need access to the internet if that's the case or
you can visit the internet for drivers, it would auto scan
and ask you to download the drivers. last resort is to take it to
a computer shop. L@@k for for adetwin on this forum. they specializes
in computer repair.

pavitrabalse07: my system s operations has become very slow even though i have antivirus and i am updating it regularly..


Computer specs pls ?

i.e,example of a description
Dell 755 Win xp 1Gb ram

click start, computer or my computer
what the memory installed ?

is it slow on the internet

or when starting up ?

is it slow generally ?

do you have norton antivirus installed ?

Xp mimimum 512 recommended 1gb

win vista 2gb recommended 4gb

win 7 2gb recommended 4gb

you could download malwarebyte and
use it to scan your computer

anti virus type ?
i would suggest Microsoft security essential
for this low spec laptop.if you tried powerful antivirus such as
Norton, kerpesky or McAfee you may have problems.

Go to download Microsoft security essential

its works well with win xp and less likely to give you
problems. your laptop is a low spec and if you're running
those antivirus you mentioned you may have problems. Google
Microsoft security essential and install it and make sure you
check your antivirus once or twice a week to see whats happening
