A blue screen occasionally pops up on my laptop & terminates everything I'm doing, this is then followed by a system restart. Guys, please what do I do ?

another diy fan that wants to take my own job..i thank God u posted this after my debate with all4naija-he would have crucified me(he preferred the update to a clean install so u dont have complications) grin grin grin grin grin..in ur situation,i agree with him..
u pple would ignorantly start a war and run to nairaland for us to inherit the problems and in turn say "thank u".complaints like this would start attracting an assessment charge on this site soon(the request has been forwarded to the computer section board)
now back to u,
1..Where is he getting the ISO from to do the clean install?[i][/i]..as he asked
it may be corrupt or so
2.there are certain terms and conditions required to make a clean format..eg a compatibility test
3..your system must meet the requirements needed
4..a certain hardware may not be compatible or has failed...eg...if the health of ur hard disk is failing ie having bad sectors,u may have done the install properly but the bad sectors have hindered the startup..
5..state ur laptop model,ram size needed in advising u if ur laptop is even fit for the update..
u can contact me on 08061679732...

Chairman, you're posting multiple issues, with little to no information for people to help you out with.
What type of computer do you have? Make and model would be nice. Configuration? RAM? Hard disk? Are you getting errors? What are the errors? e.t.c.
With this info, it would be easier to help you out....

Cheers.

@ sameolg616

my laptop beeps continously when powered on and that makes the system take a really long time before it boots. And when it finishes booting, the cursor doesn't work and I have to right click before it works.

pls what can I do to fix this issue.

P.S my laptop is an HP Pavalion g6 and I use windows 7

my usb game pad controller stops working when ever i plug in the charger of my laptop. Bt without the charger it works perfectly. Pls wt is the posible cause.?

The charger is the major problem. The system is possibly not earthed when you plug in the charger. Try this if you can see any difference.

1) Put the laptop on your laps and plug in the charger.

2) Plug in your USB control pad and try to see if there is any changes.

3) Try a new charger that is recommended for your system make.

If you are still having the same problem it is time to see your tech to check for any wrong contact(power jack, power integrated circuit,etc) and fix them.

one of the key on ur keyboard is probably pressed down(hard to tell which one it is)but from the right click situation,it looks more like control or shift key..
1ST AID:u can hit the surface of the keyboard mildly by turning ur laptop upside or use a heatgun(hand dryer) to blow the keyboard-WARNING!do this at ur own risk and i shall not be liable for anything
better yet.,meet a hardware technician

more to what all4naija said,your charger is the main problem-TRUE!
how?
a power adapter is designed to work with a certain model of laptop..ie the power ratings are different(18.5v,19v,20v) wit its corresponding Ampere(a)..dell laptop like mine that requires 18.5v,3.5a must use an adapter with that exact charger..
PROBLEM:most of these chargers look similar in shape and the connecting plugs are even the same and most times the voltages are same but the ampere which is the most important factor is overlooked..
a simple illustration is 3men(arnold schwarzenger,tinubu,aki) of the same age 18.5yrs but each man possesses different body mass(ampere) respectively:
arnold-18.5yrs,330kg
tinubu-18.5yrs,60kg
aki-18.5yrs,30kg
all are required to perform the same task needin just 60kg to perform normally..arnold wld sure over-perform(thats the reason for ur laptop prob)
tinubu would surely perform normally;
while aki would "under perform" and in most cases not even perform..
so a laptop needing 18.5v,3.5a would need exactly just that...an 18.5v,4.5a charger would work but at a high tempo thereby visibly affecting most input devices(u would have read some people complain the mouse pointer would be moving erractically;not as if thats the only reason why it does though)but when u put it on ur thighs(laps),it tends to be normal..input devices use a +-5v...
another example is sighted with a blackberry bold5 "selecting"charger and wont accept some techno chargers (5v,750mmA)vs(5v,1.0mA)
SOLUTION:check under ur laptop for the right power ratings needed to purchase ur charger if u have misplaced or damged the "follow come"
2.check carefully for the Ampere(a) as some systems aint that tolerant...
3..stop interchanging chargers of 2 different makes...use a dell charger for a hp laptop..JUST BECAUSE IT WORKS,DOESNT MEAN ITS RIGHT!
interstingly,even some same makes dont tolerate each other..ie some hp laptops dont even accept other hp chargers..

asking u for permission was just a gesture...i dint really expect u to accept my request and really dont need ur prerogative to reply to anyone here.
we are on the same side:common goals,different views and tactics....
in truth,this forum needs me and u..c-ronaldo wont be among greats now if not for MESSI...(wait,wait...hope u aint tinking ur d MESSI o grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin)
replying to posts here aint always "instinctive" at times or from past experience;i take some time to explore,read and conclude on the best possible one before posting it here cuz i always bear in mind-"it can and may be criticized" and thats just the difference between us..
u remind me of "1gig"...my fav nigga on nairaland....pls where is the dude...i miss him
im cool wit u bro.....
