Boss it's still d same..device driver software was not successfully installed.

Your system probably doesn't have the right drivers. Have you tried downloading the drivers for those devices from the internet?

BTW what OS version is your system?

Please answer the questions so that one of my colleague can
diagnose the problem. if it is hp or dell model laptop, please
restart it and press f10 for bios or f2 and then go to diagnostics
or anything that says test. then test the hard drive and let us know

try and refresh your sound card drivers by running
devmgmt.msc in the run box by pressing windows logo and lette
R on the keybaord and look for sound and video game controllers

is the laptop fan making a grinding noise ?

is the laptop on the bed or a flat surface ?

when was it last serviced ? any blue screen
of 0xc000000000000? you could download speed fan and
make and use it to monitor the temperature, if that's easy for you.

Does it switched off when playing movie or at what point


Finally

restart the laptop and get to bios by pressing f2 or 1 you'd see a blue screen
connect charger and make sure the laptop is charging and timed how long it
took it to turned off. we are trying to eliminate what might have caused it.

First of all, please run the test

Let us know the full error message

and the status code (if any)

please select the short test
as i doubts if there would be a nepa
light to last the duration of the long test

For your Sound problem, please update your Audio driver. Scan your system for virus.

For your computer always restarting: Possible reasons:

1. Check if your processor is getting too hot, - Fan working?
2. Do you have a genuine copy of windows Installed? – Automatically restarts when detected as not genuine
3. Bad Memory might cause this as well.
4. Virus – Please scan your system with an Updated antivirus – AVG 2015 free.- see link below

Here is a link from hp on how to change the boot order
and other diagnostics. it would be too long for me to
typed. When I diagnose a laptop, I think about myself, how
easy with it be for me. would i type 100 words of instructions or
rather ask the user to click on a link or google search with our guidiance. I choose the
easy way. therfore hp have documented this on their website, so go to google and
google hp non system disk and click the first link titled

"Non-System Disk Error" or "Disk Error" - Hewlett Packard

dapsyie: Hi guyz, just bought a toshiba satellite c50 -b892 ,just a week old, but it do go blank and write -UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_ERROR. And it will restart, window 8, pls help me out

have you installed updated or download avast or connectify ?

This kernel error can be difficult to fix on the forum because it
require a technician to rule out a hardware problem such as
the memory ram.

ok restart the laptop and keep pressing f10
select disable auto restart on system failure, it will restart
and a blue screen will be presented. give us the error message.

If you try f10 again and see if you
can find automatic repair, select it and
see what happens.

Gurus in the house pls help. I upgraded my windows 7 OS version from home basic to ultimate, and ever since then, each time I turn on my pc, it will make a long irritating beeping sound before booting up and thereafter everything will be fine. I'v used windows memory diagnostic test to check if its the ram but it passed, and this happens each time i shut down, hibernate or log off. The OS is working fine,how can i eradicate this beep sound?

You do not have the correct battery charger specification and Voltage. what is the model of your laptop. Check underneath your laptop and tell me the number you see there. They i will let you know the exactly battery voltage you need.

Another issue could also be the battery memory effect @deji2009 pointed out above.

thanks for ur kind response. Initially i thought it was charger problem, i changed the charger it didn't work, i bought another battery and the problem still persisted then the last engineer that i met said it may be charging point problem since it is too slow in charging but when it is fully charged, it last long. I felt like sharing the problem here to avoid wasting of money to buy another charging point.
