Hello skydancer and anyone who can help. I recently replaced my mother board and I have 2 problems. First the wifi doesn't connect anymore, it sees the network but for some reason it does not connect. I have updated the drivers using a cable connection but it's still not working. Secondly, it's now telling me activate windows. My laptop is a year old and the OS is originalso and even after upgrading to win 10 I never had issues. Please help me. Thanks

Please tell us your exact computer/hardware version.

Thank you. Also, you should make sure that your hardware supports Win10 before upgrading

Just post any problems you are having with your pc here. The more software related, the better. smiley

If you're having virus, worms or any other malware problems. Try scanning your PC with RoboSAM first.

My pc is a hp pavillion 15-p247sa. Core i3, 8gb ram and 1tb hard drive and ofcourse I have been using win 10 like 3 weeks after I bought it last year which was when it was launched ( bought it in england).
So it had liquid damage and the mother board had to be changed. (It was changed to a core i5 motherboard 2 days ago in computer village). As I said earlier, the wifi doesn't connect even though it sees the network and it's telling me to activate windows ever since the motherboard was changed. Unfortunately I don't know where the product key is anymore.

The issue you're having might be because of a Mouse or Keyboard Malfunction. I don't know if you tried navigating the screen with your keyboard.

You can try to test with an external Mouse or Keyboard to see if it's the same or not..., or uninstall your recently installed apps.

Do a Rootkit scan
https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/virus-removal-tool.aspx

Try this:
Go to Device Manager, select your Mouse/ Mice and other pointing devices, right click and Uninstall it, then restart your PC.

To Do Factory Reset:
Backup your files, if you can.

Disconnect all connected devices.

Search for "PC Settings", select "Update and recovery",
Select "Recovery", choose "Remove Everything and reinstall Windows".
Select "Get Started" and follow the onscreen instructions to start the factory reset process.

Formatting your drive should solve your problem.
Sorry, but won't it ask me for my windows installation cd?

Then I suspect you need to install the drivers for the Infinix Hot 2. Download the drivers from the link below

Then watch this video for installation process. Hope it helps

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by sheis: 8:34am On Sep 02, 2016
Hello everyone,
I need serious help here. For the past one week, I have been having issues with network connections on my PC. I use my mobile hotspot to connect to my laptop. I am on Glo's 10 GB monthly data subscription. Everything has been fine until lately When I tried accessing some sites on my PC, I get this notification" your connection is not private, Attackers might be trying to steal your information, passwords etc. I have scanned the PC for viruses, I have set the time correctly and the problem remains the same. I still can't access those sites till today.

Has anyone here ever experienced this? How was it fixed? Why is the connection being flagged as not private? Is this because I am connecting with a mobile hotspot or is it the 10 GB data network that is not private? I just don't understand where the problem is coming from. To make things worse, I can't access these same sites on my mobile phone at times.

One other thing is most times when I try to use the google page for a search, I get the captcha test and a message that their systems have detected unusual traffic from my computer network even when I had not used the PC in the last 24 hours. I keep wondering where the unusual traffic is coming from.
How do I fix these problems please?

So the screen still stays up? What programs do you have installed? Some programs could be preventing the system from sleeping.

Goodday, please how do I activate windows 8 OS on the system?
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by lordizak(m): 1:25pm On Sep 03, 2016
I have a 6460b probook, the problem with my laptop is; I booted the system one day and the font and many settings changed.

I did a restore to a previous date, maybe i selected a closer date and it remained unchanged. I tried locating the older restoration, but couldn't find it, it seemed wiped out.

The system does not read my moderm anymore.
what can i do?

noob03saibot:

Thanks for your concern man, but I don't feel it's a device, mouse keyboard problem. I v also scanned and scanned, in fact my name should v called scanner, but got nothing. I actually checked the msconfig, the start up tab and saw list of things that start up with my pc, among them was some thing called smart protection anti virus. Dude, I don't know how that managed to get there. And the publisher was unknown. So I ran a Google check on it and found out that it is a fake anti virus and it is in fact a virus. But funny enough, no anti virus has picked this up. I v tried to disable it. But anytime I reset my pc and go back to check it in msconfig, I see it abled again. But if I disable it and don't reset, it stays disabled. How can I disable the shit permanently please?

Alright. A factory reset should solve that.

You wont require the CD if you follow the instructions well.

If you'd be needing a 4gb, the cost should be between 5k and 8k...while 8gb should cost between 12k and 15k.


N.B: not so certain, it's a rough guess.
