How did you attempted upgrading the bios? Which method did you used to start your upgrading, Window or DOS? You can try using the DOS method, i mean the "Press any key to boot from CD...." method. State your PC specification. For the updated bios, you can visit the PC manufacturer website to download the updated bios version.

I used in-place upgrade with a windows 7 cd. It couldn't upgrade and prompted a message to upgrade the bios before proceeding. I went into dell's website to download the bios upgrade but couldn't do it cos it said I should plug the ac adapter and the battery. I don't think it would work without a good battery based on my research.

The laptop is dell xps m1330 vista OS

Dkaz: What makes a pc slow during work?

A lot of things. It's hard to say if i haven't seen the PC in operation. It may be due to some Worms or Zombies, it may be your RAM, it may be your Hard Drive, e.t.c. Consult your PC technician for the appropriate solution...

what's the laptop model number, for example HP G61 ?
Hp and compaq have a recovery partitions that can
be used to recover laptop to factory default

Back your data first !

click start and where
the white start search box
is type recovery manager
and see if you have a recovery
partitions. norton is not an ideal
antivirus to have. is up to you
whether you want to scan using malwarebyte
or reset the laptop . in practice, we reset them
that way I am offering long term solution to my customers

This is here in the uk not sure what other technician might advice you

Well that's a familiar story...BADNEWS IS-the motherboard is damaged..but first let a hardware tech confirm dat..in some cases,it may just be d onboard power pack..if its d former,u'd get d motherboard for 20-25k
GOODNEWS..ders absolutely nothing wrong wot d hard drive nor ur files..just remove it from d laptop and put in an external casing and plug it as a removable on a working laptop..copy...(Oh!!just remembered sometin else)
D CHALLENGE-because u will be assessing windows account files(as in,the account name u wer using before d laptop crashed(administrator,guest acc)..u will first have to let the working laptop inherit all d priviledges before u can access the files..I won't be able to explain that to u)else it wld give an error and be blank..its even worse if u set a login password.
For Xp..here is the path..c:\documents and settings\...
For win7..c:\users\account name

Also next time,post precisely the model no..hp laptops r subject to regions...eg CQ61-313US is region US....or a dv 6000 is a series..it may actually be dv6103EA..
To confirm d exact model,click on start..accessories..system tool..system information..then u will see the exact model
