Please do you hear any noise from the hard drive, before you install the OS check if your hard drive is properly fixed to the hard drive slot.

You have another anti virus installed which has disabled windows defender.

enet1:
Goodpm all,I have a challenge with my laptop.I can not scan the laptop using Windows defender.It shows the attached picture

Quick one have you tried an external monitor, also is your caps lock light blinking.

PhilJames:

Since the 1 RAM installed is OK, I have removed the RAM and put it back in place again but the screen is still not coming on

What that means is that you have 2 RAM slot but yours has only 1 RAM installed. so all is well

PhilJames:

Thanks a lot. I have seen the RAM. Was able to use YouTube to locate it but something is not right. From what I saw on YouTube there is a RAM in upper and lower compartments. Mine only has the lower compartment RAM and the upper one is empty... Is this right?

Flip your laptop you will see where the RAM is located with the right tools you should open, remove and fix back but if you still cant get it please use google otherwise take it to a technician to help out.

PhilJames:

Sorry to ask this please, where is the RAM located?

Ok just reload your OS and see how it goes but note if the keyboard that was fixed is still given issue after formatting you will need to replace it.

coolcentbigman:


I used Drivers Easy in updating the drivers but when the the drivers are updated automatically it should stop bringing up those drivers for updating after re-scanning/restarting the drivers.

Kindly remove the RAM and insert back.

PhilJames:
Hello guys good morning

Please I need your input and suggestions.

My Toshiba laptop has gone blank.. There is no physical damage. I just on it and discovered the screen is no more displaying anything. When I on it, the power green light and every shows but the screen doesn't come on. Please help me

hmmm, but can i still get the error message you get during installation of drivers because this might possible be a software issue reloading your OS might be considered since you said you just changed the keyboard recently but first let me see the error message.

coolcentbigman:


The warranty has been void because i recently changed the keyboard before and it was not in the company i bought it because of distance/relocation.

The laptop is less than a year pls is your warranty card still Avaliable and valid.

Kindly share the error message you get during the driver installation.

coolcentbigman:
Guys please i need your help with my Hp 15 laptop, i bought this laptop just 8 months ago but some of the system keys just stopped working and the mouse is also affected the right click button doesn't double tap to open folders. I tried external mouse same thing/problem but the mouse worked perfectly on my other system.

I'm suspecting that most of the drivers are outdated are the caused which i tried updating using Driver Easy but it's doesn't installed the drivers after updating even after using Automatic update.

The light indicating that my laptop is plugged in, doesn't show when charging but only shows when the laptop is fully charged...

Pls how do i solve this issues?

Take it to a technician so that he can carry out a proper test the fact that the system is not powering does not mean the motherboard is gone.

jidowu84:

Please does anyone know a good bulk SMS service to recommend to me?

Feels good to be back... Your bios should have been updated the first time you got the almighty blue screen with that error.

1. Please make sure your hard drive is in good state.
2. Confirm you dont have any failing RAM.
4. Did the first blue screen error you got happened after installing an application or device driver?
3. There might be a need for you to reprogram your bios.

This is one of the issue with cracking your OS. but the first thing you should consider doing is to get a license to activate your windows properly after which you should download windows update.

jeal:
I think it was cracked. Not sure cos a guy help me out then.

well it depends on the requirement of the structural design app you looking at installing but on the average a core i3 with 4GB of RAM and above will be fine but since you intend getting core i5 go for it cos this will give you better performance.

Please do not forget to put into consideration your graphics card RAM for better performance at least 256MB or 1GB dedicated will be fine.

Quick question did you crack your OS or you used a windows license key during installation?

jeal:
Hello everyone, Pls my laptop HP 620 which runs on win 10 pro reads activated but says licence will expire soon. infact says it will expire by 29th july 2019. Did some research and was told to go to service.msc - stop and disable Windows License Management Service which i have done. The second thing dat i was instructed to do is still under service.msc. I am to stop and disable windows update service. But lo and behold I couldnt find windows update service on the list.
Pls who can help sort out the issue of licence and also how do i get window update service back and running?

Try and replace it.

Thanks. The CD ROM doesn't open out.

kindly check the following,

1. HDD ( you should perform disk defragmentation)
2. RAM (consider increasing RAM to aid performance)

for the CD ROM is it that it does not read disk anymore or select disk.

amidel:
Kindly help.


My system has become so slow that it takes over 15mins for it to boot.
Opening a file takes like 5mins.
And the CD ROM doesn't work anymore.
What should I do?

Quick question your windows is pirated or original?

Samuelsmart22:
Hello here, Good afternoon
I have a problem with my PC, please help me out,,,
So it happens that, I was in my school last week(@ night) to use the school Wi-Fi, immediately I was connected to the Wi-Fi a message pooped up telling me to update my windows, N.B. I use windows 10.
I clicked update and the windows started updating it was kinda slow but I was checking it at time interval cos I minimized it.
Along the line, I fell asleep. Waking up the next morning, the system had gone off. By the time I switched it on,,,, It started displaying image 1. After a while it'll displayed image 2.
I got a new Windows 10 CD rom and followed the whole repair process in image 2, still it's not working. It gave a reply that 'This windows does not support the operating system'.
People told me my windows 10 crashed due to incomplete windows installation. (I guess the windows did not finish the update before PC went off) Have tried the solutions proffered, but it's still not working. Please help me my brothers and sisters . I need this PC for my exams starting next week.
What else can I do. My whatsapp 08105070057. I don't mind a message in my Dm as I await reponses here too. God bless y'all.

Will suggest you visit HP service centre the price might be a bit high but you sure of getting original and even warranty.

Makschinchin:


Thanks for your time and responses.. I've given it back to the technician to work on it and most especially change the battery..

One more thing please.. Do you know much about replacement batteries?? There are some that are good and last long while some are not good at all and doesn't last long.. How can I know a good replacement battery that will work fine and last long in Ikeja?? Anything to look out for in PC batteries??

Fine Kernel power 41 critical error.(unexpected shutdown)There are 2 issue to this the software and hardware.

Software issue.

1. The battery drivers should be updated you can scan for device changes from device driver.
2. check your power setting.
- from power settings
- click when the computer sleeps
- Then click on advance settings
- click on hard disk >turn off hard disk after, then set to never

Hardware

Your battery is most likely not getting the accurate charge your technician should check your charging port and pls let him change that battery.

Makschinchin:


Another one is showing critical--- Kernel power..

But most of the error codes here are WLAN Error code 126

Your system already told you what the problem is just take it to a technician to check that fan they might just need to change it also the heatsink should be checked. core 0 and core 1 is high that is a red flag.

Kvngfrosh:
My optiplex 780 is showing cpu fan error on booting i opened up the system cleaned debris and dust i even downloaded speed fan to monitor the temp the hdd was fine but the core0 and core 1 was high i am very confused right now bc i dont knw wat to do

First check with another battery and see what happens.

Greyworld:

Hey boss I av a similar issue, but mine is this, the system wont power up until i remove the battery and plug it to a source of power. What could b wrong with it?

please check there are more error codes in the event viewer relating to unexpected shut down.

Makschinchin:


It's showing ErrorCode 126

Did you login to your computer as an administrator?

andresia:


Tried as instructed but met a brickwall

1. go to windows search.
2. type administrative tools then click to open
3. click on event viewer
4. expand windows log then click on system

Double click on the error you will see the code.

Makschinchin:


Yes, it only happens when I'm using the system on battery.. When I plug the battery to light, or remove the battery and plug only system to light, it works fine and doesn't shut down.

Yes, he checked for overheating and used a thermal paste in it and cleaned it up.

I have replace the battery with other replacement batteries but still no show

How do I do a quick check on Windows event viewer??
