Formatting would be the last resort.

If you can restart your computer and go into safe mode with networking by pressing F8 continuously as soon as the computer is coming back on. From there, you can download this

Do a full scan with it and restart normally. Your computer will be back to life.

Stop watching pretty ladies without a good antivirus, there are good free ones like AVIRA cheesy

If his PC has the inbuilt format thingy that doesnt need CD. . .he can just press F(something). . .and do the whole format and restore proces without downloading anything else. . .

Thats why i asked what brand so i can tell him what function to press while starting up

Those malware kini dont do the job jor. . .he should restore and make it the PC look new again!. . cheesy

I dont think you will sleeping much from now on cos getting a laptop without a Ram or HDD is not clear to me. There might have been problem with the Motherboard or or other hardwares.

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by lightwalk(m): 10:46pm On Feb 25, 2010
Michealani u dey vex o. Why not just upgrade the ram? RAM is very cheap. . 512MB is around 3k. You can then join anything you want. That's the only problem u might have. .

Dear kingron,

Thanks for the above enquiry would be grateful if you can provide make and model of your computer
and operating system type. This is to assist me and my colleagues in providing accurate information.

I checked my dxdiag and they are enabled.

Here's your diagnostics kingron, get to device manager if you can or use google to find out.
look for display adaptor click the + sign and tell us what it says and then right click > properties
>details could you tell us what it says or use prtscreen to take snapshot.

I think you need to update your display driver. if you are connected to the internet
get to device again right click on your graphics card > update driver software >
and the rest is self explanatory since am not sure if you are on xp or vista

This may help http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/directx.aspx

Good luck

Dear slideshow,

Thanks for the above enquiry if i understand what you meant, you want to format your computer and
still have your document intact. if this is so, I am sorry to say is impossible. would also be grateful if you
can explain much better. Good luck !

Absolutely will have done the same thing, that's the first question a good technician would often ask.

I have HP COMPAQ with 120Gb HDD, 3Ghz processor & 512 Ram. Because the pc isn't sending any signals to the monitor, i tried replacing d Ram. But it have developed fresh fault: every time i ON d Pc, power indicator will blink and off immediately. Please, I don't know what's wrong with it. Thanks in anticipation!

Here's your diags

Disconnect battery
and charger+ others
such as printer etc

hold down laptop power
button for 30seconds
to discharge static

pop battery back in
and charge for 1 hour
then disconnect charger
and see if laptop will turn
off. if it does then change your
battery if doesn't turn off
then is something else.

Turn off laptop &

Make sure charger is
plugged in and take note of
any LED lights such battery and
charger. are they lit ?

Good luck !
