all4naija: It is graphical problem that needs a customer care attention. Either the flex is getting weak or the power button is having some disturbing interference with your screen activities in a funny way. It could also be something else.Thanks. I'll find a place around Enugu. P.S. If anybody knows a credible place to fix computers in Enugu, holla at me. |

leunamme93:It didn't fall. I think it's a software thing because it just powered, showed the Start Up Windows logo and then went blank. |

semid4lyfe:still mobile but got this step by step method of the site. If TestDisk is not yet installed, it can be downloaded from TestDisk Download. Extract the files from the archive including the sub-directories. To recover a lost partition or repair the filesystem from a hard disk, USB key, Smart Card, etc., you need enough rights to access a physical device.ng Under Windows, start TestDisk (ie testdisk-6.13/ testdisk_win.exe ) from an account in the Administrator group. Under Vista, right-click testdisk_win.exe and then "Run as administrator" to launch TestDisk.Choose None if you do not want messages and details of the process to be written into a log file (useful if for example Testdisk was started from a read-only location). Press Enter to proceed.Disk selection All hard drives should be detected and listed with the correct size by TestDisk: Use up/down arrow keys to select your hard drive with the lost partition/s. Press Enter to Proceed TestDisk displays the partition table types. Select the partition table type - usually the default value is the correct one as TestDisk auto- detects the partition table type. Press Enter to Proceed. Current partition table status TestDisk displays the menus Use the default menu "Analyse" to check your current partition structure and search for lost partitions. Confirm at Analyse with Enter to proceed. Now, your current partition structure is listed. Examine your current partition structure for missing partitions and errors The first partition is listed twice which points to a corrupted partition or an invalid partition table entry. Invalid NTFS boot points to a faulty NTFS boot sector, so it's a corrupted filesystem. Only one logical partition (label Partition 2) is available in the extended partition. One logical partition is missing. Confirm at Quick Search to proceed. Quick Search for partitions Confirm according to your OS and created partitions to proceed. TestDisk displays the first results in real time. quick search (click on thumb to display the image). During the Quick Search, TestDisk has found two partitions including the missing logical partition labeled Highlight this partition and press p to list your files (to go back to the previous display, press q to Quit). All directories and data are correctly listed. Press Enter to proceed. Save the partition table or search for more partitions? Still a bit technical. Try it out if however it does not recover the partition you might have to wait a lil longer or take it to a certified technician. Sometimes there's a limit to those diy routines. |

At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button, go over to the Help sub- menu and select Troubleshooting Information. Troubleshooting info - win 2. Click the Reset Firefox… button in the upper-right corner of the Troubleshooting Information page. Reset Firefox - 3. To continue, click Reset Firefox in the confirmation window that opens. 4.

HELP... HELP..... HELP... Pls my Hp compaq nc612o widows XP is hanging, some times it will trip off by itself when im busy. i have flashed it but it is still doing the same thing |
| Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by onegig(m): 1:53pm On Oct 17, 2013 |
cutisman50: HELP... HELP..... HELP...flashing or formatting would not help anything. Does your system heat up? If it does then Your system is overheating and trips off so as not to fry your motherboard. Its either your system fan is bad and needs replacement or is clogged with lots of dirt. Also conflicting hardware or inappropriate device driver installation might cause the tripping. Make sure you check and see you are using the manufacturer's recommended drivers. |

onegig: when did the guy work on the system? Is it recently?You mean my pal that used my lappy? Yes,it's of recent. I noticed her yahoo had same interface when she logged on to yahoo but i thought it was her preferred interface and coupled with the fact that she came from UAE,I also had the thoughts that it might be Arabic signs/writings. She finished,i took back my lappy,tried to check my mail and voila,my interface has changed to same weird signs. |
| Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by onegig(m): 2:53pm On Oct 17, 2013 |
How do you know its working well? Might be rolling but not cooling the system. Does the system heat up? @ify Try this. To use System Restore Before you start System Restore, save any open files and close all programs. System Restore will restart your PC. 1. Open System Restore by clicking the Start button Picture . In the search box, type System Restore, and then, in the list of results, click System Restore. Administrator permission If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. 2. Follow the steps in the wizard to choose a restore point and restore your computer. Do select a restore date or point earlier than when you started noticing this problem. Note you might lose newly installed softwares. |

But the reset to default setting should have corrected that . I guess she used whats called a character encoding setting when viewing her mails. Do this . Go to View | Character Encoding and it is set to Unicode (UTF-8 ) when on yahoo mail page. Get back to me. |
