That sound ash but thanks for going straight to the point. What recovery software can i use? could u recommend one? How do I go about it? Thanks bro
our post...i
hello...i just read your post...i have been away for quite a while...hdd recovery is part of my specialization...there are certain rules and conditions that apply to hdd recovery so i would really advise you to DIY else ur data could be lost forever or overwritten
pls leave the hdd intact in the system..(its like trying to rescue someone from a fatal accident,moving the body carelessly may result in fracture or sometin worse)
call ne on 08061679732 for quick response

bright007: .....How do i write the error or go to event viewer....

thats simple ..any experienced tech here should know thats a BSOD(blue screen of death)
it has been much debated here in some of my old posts
its called mainly by:
hardware conflict
invalid entries in the registry
improper intallation/uninstallation of programs
try and check the last program or hardware u installed...else give me a call on 08061679732

Yes I'm using aVAst pro 2014 and had uupdated several times but it still persists,,
not everything that infects your system is a virus...there are many malware,adware,dialers and so ..
the infection on your system is totally harmless but annoying..
once it has bypassed your antivirus,its useless updating instead a proper scanning should be done on another system wit a strong up-to-date antivirus..better yet,u use an antivirus rescue cd/media to boot on startup..

would you behead yourself because you are having a constant headache?atimes,even the simpliest rest and sleep makes a migraine disappear..
ie reformatting is never the solution to a persistent problem..LET THE PROS DO THEIR THEIR WORK AND NOT DIY..
besides,how are you sure its a virus infection?

a disk read error simply means the hard disk location or sector cant be read as a result of some of the factors:
1..bad disk sector
2...failing hard disk resulting from a physical damage
3...atimes,a corrupt fat or file in the referenced location
i regenerate hdds..so if your lucky its not a physical damage,,then i can rectify the problem

Hey House, please i got a problem with my dell D505 LAPTOP, i had to press the button hard to get it powered on , and if it powers nothing displays on the screen the lights close to the power button flashes for about 4 or 5 seconds and goes off, despite all these , no screen display or diplay on the screen, i have checked the ram memory and i do not think that its a screen problem, but someone once said that it could be a mainboard or motherboard problem , he seem not to be sure about it.

please my fellow engineers in the house what could be the problem with this laptop?
and whats the solution?
could this be a mainboard or motherboard problem, ?

do computers get better and reliable after thier faulty motherboard or mainboard is been fixed?

please advice me on what to do

thanks to you all

and God bless you

Bios battery might be weak as I stated. If you can open it locate the bios battery and take it out then try to boot it. If it gives a different set of beeps or flashing lights then the bios battery is OK. Also take out the ram modules and try to boot.

Please, before you download the Windows 10 Technical Preview know that it is not meant to be run on your personal computer. It is meant for test and to report bugs to Microsoft. For those of you who are willing to see how the new Windows 10 looks and functions, you might want to run it in your old machines, on a separate partition of your hard disk or on the virtual machine. If you are ready to download the Windows 10 follow the link below:
