I need serious help as regard my laptop.

My laptop is off now, and if I turn it on, after 2 minutes or so, sometimes before I logon or after I have logged on, it freezes that the cursor won't move an inch until I force it to shutdown by long pressing the power button. And if it comes up it will work fine afterwards.

What can I do in this scenario? I don't want to force it to shutdown again, what should I do?

Thanks in anticipation.

I'm a graphics designer and Web developer.

I have worked for many Nigerians, but what I noticed is that when they need the work, their pressures will be on you an be messaging and calling you time to time to followup on their work.

But once you completed and submitted the work to them, the ghost-mode has started, some will stop reading your messages, some will stop picking your calls, some will even goes as far as picking up up fight with you and the worst they'll start posting you for payment, like my bank network is bad, I want to sleep, when I wakeup I'll pay and many silly excuses in order not to pay.

Some people even relate with you very close that, you won't even know how to charge them for some works and you'll expect them to pay you well after deliver their works, but they'll still go ahead and pay peanuts.

Especially people you have being working with for a long time, takes this long time business relationship as Avenue to not pay for some little works. Let's assume you have designed a logo for some and he has paid and he later asked you to render the logo on a bus or brand a car for him, they'll expect you to do that for free, because they've paid you for the logo.

What do you think we can do as servicemen and servicewomen to curb this. This concern almost everyone I expect everyone to say something about this.

Good day, fellas. Why do some graduates find it difficult to speak good English? I mean, even to construct a simple sentence. Funny enough, most of these guys brag about their educational Degree and most of them tend to be very arrogant.

The funny part of it is that, they are even confident and proud with the blunders they make while speaking.

Has anyone met such graduate?

This is one bad thing I discovered recently about myself, I yell at him when I am trying to prove a point, no insults but my voice is always high.... Then I feel bad about it afterwards....

Imagine what an Examination body is putting out to its customers. They don't pay attention to details, they're just there generating a so called "Revenue" for the Government.

Has anyone ever used or download a reliable anti theft application from Google play store or any other app store. I need to protect my phone seriously, but all the anti theft I've been downloading is not up to standard.

A few months ago, I got a call from a man who apparently said he saw some of the websites I developed and he liked them. He said he wants to develop a website for a college and I was immediately interested in the job. We spoke for days about his choose website and samples he has that I can work with. He gave me a particular website vcc.ca and said he wanted almost the same format. I checked the website and noticed that it has a whole lot of contents all linked together. It's so deep that you cannot completely get to the very end of the website. I bet it must have taken years to put all those contents together.
He also told me he has given the job to two other guys and they abandoned it after they have collected part payments so he will not pay me any advance until I am done with the job. Which I agreed cuz with the way he sounded, he just wanted the job done well. I was wrong!
Apparently after seeing all those contents, I knew that it will take a very patient and unresilient person to not abandon the website but I was determined to do the job.
I told him I'll take 100k which I know it's very low compared to the job but because he had been scammed before, I decided to not charge him too much.
He agreed and I started working on the site. He sent over 40 different pdf contents to me via email so I can fill them into the webs when I'm done developing it. I quickly develop the website within 2 weeks, I decided to develop it on WordPress since it's a content website.
I started editing and filling in the contents, hyperlinking everything together... It took me 2 months to complete finish that. When I was done, I asked me to check the website and he did. He commended my effort and told me he wanted me to change some things and add some things... I started working on his changes for another week.
When I finished, I told him to check and he did then asked me to make some other changes... I did. I noticed that he kept asking me to make changes on things I have done before... And even some changes he told me to make before. I felt like we are just going in a circle!
I told him to pay me some of the agreed fee since we are almost through with the world, he said he will pay 20k since we are not through. I agreed, I just needed him to commit something really.

The repeated changing of this and that went on for 2 weeks, until 2 days ago when I told him I'm done with the work. He said wow, I really tried. And my skill is commendable but he wants me to brush it up a little. That the logo looks blurry... I told him I used the logo he gave me and it was the quality of the logo he gave me. Then I told him I won't work on the website anymore until he has paid me for the work, after all, everything is done besides the logo.
He acted as if he didn't see the message but I'm sure he read it from his phone drop down.
I woke up yesterday to find out he has changed the login details of the website and the cpanel and everything and put the website on maintenance mode!
I was shocked so I immediately contacted him, he told him I couldn't give him the quality of website he wants and he has developed to take the job from me and give it to another person!
I couldn't believe it!..
I worked on this for 3 months and you were checking everyday... I'm still in shock.
Trust me guys, I developed one of the very best website anyone can find anywhere in the world for this man. I have been doing this for 11 years and I'm not a baby developer. Right now, I'm disappointed and sad cuz I don't even know how to react to this. I know I can hire an hacker to take down the website but I'm a good person.
So guys, what do you think I should do at this point?
The website is www.ecac.com.ng
His name is Abiodun Akinyele Peter
He is the owner of Emperor restaurant Lagos
His phone number is 08022618778

I have attached all our conversations to this post...

I just hosted my first website this week, though I just started learning programming just of recent. The major challenge I am having now is that the images on the web aren't displaying on phones, they only display when you use laptops to open the site. Pls, what could be the issue?
