i'm afraid to tell you it has. Do you hear any rattling sound from the hard drive? If yes or no, you might consider enslaving it on a desktop pc to salvage your files. Hopefully, it may come up. If it comes up clean, then there's something fishy about the north bridge.

pray it isn't a hard disk error and enslave it on a desktop pc. The hard disk might have probably failed smart test.
Considering the fact that your moniker is acclaimed to a lady, i recommend getting someone with the technical know-how in your area (people like tolzeal, onegig, adetwin, deji2009, etc might be living in your area) to help you out. However, you can plunge into it if you know how to use a screwdriver and how to enslave the hard drive.

i do this too and sometimes i get lucky. Format the flashdrive, open the cd, then copy all the files and paste directly into the root directory of the flash. Don't paste it into any folder. After this, try booting via the flash on the laptop if you're lucky, then it should start setup. Functionality varies from flash to flash though. If no joy, you'll have to boot from external dvd.

Onegig and others, pls I've got a little ish with my laptop. It's a Brian Laptop.

When I power on, it gives a long and high beep sound that I have to depress any key to make it stop.

I also will have to press a key before it boots
After that, it functions well. All keys work as they should.

But after few seconds of booting, ALL keys cease.
I won't be able to use the laptop at all
Any clue?
The mouse also sticks.....bought an external mouse. Same problem

But it works well when I boot in safe mode

Urgent help please


bigt2:
the problem should be either from a malfunctioning driver, or a startup program, virus, or malware. Try logging into safe mode, then run msconfig, go to the startup tab and disable all the startup programs. Now reboot normally. If it works, then you'll have to enable them one by one till you figure out which one's faulty. Got my drift?

thanks for the urgent response. I aint a techie please. How do I run msconfig? Can you please detail it all here?

skipped this problem earlier and failed to address it. It's highly regretted and not an act of cowering.
You have decided to install windows 8.1(with the start button) without addressing your keyboard. You'll have to either get an external keyboard (usb), or wait till you're certain of the purported inability of your keyboard's functionality. This said, you'll have to either get a windows 8.1 installation disc, or download the image file online, and burn it to a dvd. Follow these steps thereafter:
insert the disc,
start the computer
press the functional button (mostly f12 or esc) to enter the boot menu,
select the dvd drive, then at the prompt asking you to press any key to boot from cd, press a key.
*windows is loading files*
after that, choose 'install windows'
choose custom install (not upgrade),
click the drive partition you want to install windows on. (do not format the drive, i repeat, do not format the drive!)
click ok; a prompt should show you a message that your selected partition contains windows files already, just click ok.
Keep your fingers crossed (probably go and make tea and get some cookies),
*copying files*
*expanding files*
*installing features*
*installing updates*
*finalizing installation*
set the computer name, date, time, etc.
You should have the start menu pop up. Bravo! You made it cos you're a genius. Let me know when you get to this benchmark. I'll guide you through the next steps.
bro thanks, everything has been successful. my old files has been recovered, only my former apps were lost bt all thanks to u for the brave steps.,
pls how can I bring the start button, the windows 8 pro installed doesn't has a start button. Once again, thank you very much
